A doctor by profession and education, Anand gives us some great tips and startup advice. He talks about the idea of his startup and how he managed to use an existing model available elsewhere. And how he had to tweak it to fit India. He also talks about how his startup pivoted to provide child healthcare via schools – a missing link that has really propelled his startup! We also dive a little bit into product design as Anand considers that his forte. So don’t miss this segment
#AskMarcas campaign!
Marcas (a company that helps startups register IP and featured on episode 49) have been kind enough to partner with us to provide a forum for all startups to ask questions related to trademark registration. Simply use the hashtag #AskMarcas and ask your question. We’ll answer this in an upcoming session of FoundersGyan. Also, we will be having a special segment on upcoming episodes in association with Marcas to clear out misconceptions related to trademark and IP registration.
