This reversal was reflected in increased share prices that put the stock in the top gainers on the Nifty midcap 150 index, indicating a new sense of investor confidence and optimism in the company’s performance and outlook in the market. Although a 2% increase does not seem so significant in itself, it is part of a larger story about the sustained growth, strategic work, and financial stability that have characterized the experience that TII has gone through in recent years. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tube Investment’s financial performance</strong></h3> <p>The financial performance of the company has also formed a significant source of momentum in the market. The consolidated revenue of TII in the quarter ended June 2025 was ₹5309.06 crore, significantly higher than this quarter in the previous year, ₹4577.92 crore. This annual increase demonstrates the success of the company in expanding operations and supplying the growing volume of products in the market. The quarterly net profit, however, declined marginally to ₹303.28 crore in 2024, as compared to the ₹ 313.80 crore of June 2024. The earnings per share also decreased to ₹10.28 (per share) as compared to ₹11.64. Although this is a small threat to the financial trend, the financial trend is still positive when taking into consideration the long-term performance.</p> <p>Over the last four years, the annual growth of TII has been exceptional. The overall revenue of the company in FY 2025 was ₹19,464.65 crores, which is huge compared to ₹6,083.29 crores of FY 2021. The net profit also increased dramatically over this period, as it rose from ₹304.69 crores to ₹1054.67 crores. These statistics reflect the sound growth of the company and its capacity to generate steady incomes even in the conditions of a varying market environment. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Shareholders’ benefits and operational efficiency </strong></h3> <p>The key to success in TII has been operational efficiency. Total assets of the company rose to ₹15,964 crores in March 2025, compared to ₹9,047 crores in March 2021. There were increases in fixed assets, including the investment in new infrastructures and capacity, where it advanced by ₹1718 crore, a rise of 15% to ₹4,730 crore. There was a cash flow of ₹1,213 crores on operating activities, which reflected a good generation of internal cash. The net cash flow dropped by 75% leading to ₹120 crore net cash generation in 2022 compared with ₹491 crore in 2021, which continues to be more of a revolving exercise to continue long-term growth and not any element of weakness in the financial standing.</p> <p>The performance of TII has also served the shareholders by paying them dividends. The company made a final dividend in FY 2025 of ₹1.50 and an interim dividend of ₹2.00, resulting in a brisk payout ratio. These dividends make up for the face value of ₹1 and the book value of ₹286.08 per share, which indicates that the company is strong in terms of rewarding its shareholders and the stability of its returns.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Market sentiment and unique position in the midcap universe</strong></h3> <p>The TII has generated a positive market sentiment through its active engagement with other investors. The company has had an analyst and investor session recently on August 11, 2025, and published the text of one of such sessions that was held on August 8. Such undertakings are characterized by an open method of communication and the desire to cooperate with stakeholders. Besides, the concerns raised by the AGM scrutinizer on August 4 prove once more the commitment of TII to governance and accountability.</p> <p>Many aspects have led to the recent rise in the stock price of TII. Those quarterly reports where the revenue increased, financial indicators have improved, a steady dividend, and active engagement of the investors have contributed to the heightening of investor confidence. Such factors come into play to present a strong case to bring TII to the list of the best gainers in the Nifty Midcap 150 index.</p> <p>TII has a special niche on earth in the midcap universe. The company has diversified operations, which include engineering-related services, automotive parts, and financial industry services, which makes it strong amidst fluctuation in the markets. Its scaling capabilities of revenue and profitability, and decreasing debtors make it unique among most of its peer companies, ranking it as an outperforming company in the midcap stratification. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3> <p>The success of Tube Investments of India in recent stock performance is not just a market afterglow but the result of strategic growth, financial prudence, and investor-focused governance over the years. TII has solid fundamentals, a diversified business model, and a vision of what it aims to achieve moving forward, which means that the company will be quite capable of riding the midcap wave and providing long-term value to its investors. As the company will continue to grow, its experience can provide valuable lessons on being resilient, executing, and the strength of performing consistently in a dynamic market environment. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://scoopearth.in/tube-investments-gained-a-rise-of-2-6-in-share-price-among-the-top-gainers-on-nifty-midcap-150/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Patanjali earned the prestigious AEO Tier-2 Certificate, marking a historic milestone in shaping entrepreneurship in modern India</title> <link>https://scoopearth.in/patanjali-earned-the-prestigious-aeo-tier-2-certificate-marking-a-historic/</link> <comments>https://scoopearth.in/patanjali-earned-the-prestigious-aeo-tier-2-certificate-marking-a-historic/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[deepika khare]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2025 09:18:32 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business Trends|Trending Board]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Startup Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Patanjali AEO Tier-2 Certificate]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://scoopearth.in/?p=340923</guid> <description><![CDATA[On the 78th anniversary of the independence of India, Patanjali Foods Limited has now reached such a momentous milestone in the company as well as the Swadeshi sensation of entrepreneurship.

Recently, Patanjali became an AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) Tier-2 under the guidance of the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Ministry of Finance, and therefore, it is one of the limited Indian companies that received the greatest transparency, integrity, and supply chain security following international standards.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Significance of the AEO Tier-2 Certification</strong></h3> <p>AEO Tier-2 certificate is not just a regulatory award. It is an effective promotion of efficiency in a company in terms of running its operations and its preparedness to trade at the international level. To Patanjali, this certification opens up more than 28 international trade advantages, such as Duty Deferred Payment, Bank Guarantee Waiver, Direct Port Delivery (DPD), and 24×7 Clearance Facilities. These privileges simplify the export business and firm up its logistics, which would lead to the minimization of logistical friction and its competitiveness in the global market. However, more significantly, they confirm the open working integrity, quality control, and national interests of the company.</p> <p>Acharya Balkrishna said, <em>“This achievement is the result of the collective efforts of the entire Patanjali family, employees and consumers. The AEO Tier-2 certificate is a proof of transparency, quality and international standards of our work. This will increase export activities and strengthen the country’s economy. This honour will make us proud not only within the country’s borders but also in every corner of the world. It will prove to be helpful in promoting culture, Ayurveda and indigenous products. We pledge that we will establish Patanjali among the top FMCG brands in the world and take India’s exports to new heights”.</em></p> <p>Quotation Source: <a href="https://www.thehansindia.com/news/national/patanjali-has-set-a-new-record-of-entrepreneurship-in-business-998304" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hasn India</a> </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Collective spirit and Patanjali’s unique business philosophy</strong></h3> <p>Patanjali was created on the philosophy of Ayurveda, yoga, and indigenous manufacturing and has never claimed to be a business organization. The astronomical success of the brand in the FMCG market lies in its capacity to combine ancient wisdom and the present-day business venture. Acharya Balkrishna, managing director of Patanjali, attributed the success to the individual effort of the Patanjali family, employees, partners, and consumers. He brought out that the certificate of the AEO Tier-2 certificate is a testimony of the brand being aligned with the international standards and a driver in fueling the growth of the Indian export base. </p> <p>Swami Ramdev said, <em>“Today is a day of pride not only for the Patanjali family but for every Indian. Patanjali is moving ahead at a new pace every day in the field of reliability, authenticity, competition and quality and is setting new benchmarks of entrepreneurship in the business sector, who wants to see India become a world leader economically. This certificate further strengthens our resolve to build the nation. This honour is a recognition of our penance, quality and honesty. We promise that we will move ahead at a faster pace on this path of ‘Swadeshi se Swabhimaan’ and take ‘Make in India’ to the global summit.”</em></p> <p>Quotation Source: <a href="https://www.thehansindia.com/news/national/patanjali-has-set-a-new-record-of-entrepreneurship-in-business-998304" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hans India</a> </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Rise and essence of Patanjali’s journey</strong></h3> <p>The rise of Patanjali symbolizes a broader change in the Indian entrepreneurial landscape. It is part of a generational shift to businesses that are tradition-based but globally focused. Patanjali achieves this by encouraging locally produced products locally and limiting the use of imported goods, making India economically independent and self-reliant. In addition, its success influences other Indian businesses to become excellent, transparent, and to think in terms of crossing boundaries. To a large extent, Patanjali is not simply establishing a brand; it is creating a movement.</p> <p>The tagline adopted by Patanjali, Swadeshi se Swabhimaan describes the journey of this brand. It is on reclaiming the pride of Indian products, practices, and philosophies. By its advertising and product direction and promotion, Patanjali has refreshed curiosity in Ayurveda, yoga, and a whole existence. The effect of this cultural awakening is a ripple effect that strengthens the local industries, fuels young, enterprising individuals, and changes the tastes of consumers. The success of Patanjali is an indication that a purpose-driven business can not only change a market but can also change the minds of people.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3> <p>The rise of Patanjali from a Swadeshi startup to a global powerhouse in the FMCG industry is one of vision, values, and sheer execution. It has achieved the AEO Tier-2 certificate, which has established a new level of Indian entrepreneurship; an amalgamation of continuation and innovation, as well as point and achievement.</p> <p></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://scoopearth.in/patanjali-earned-the-prestigious-aeo-tier-2-certificate-marking-a-historic/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Inside Sourav Joshi’s Fortune: How India’s Beloved Vlogger Built a ₹25 Crore Empire</title> <link>https://scoopearth.in/inside-sourav-joshis-fortune-how-indias-beloved-vlogger-built-crore-empire/</link> <comments>https://scoopearth.in/inside-sourav-joshis-fortune-how-indias-beloved-vlogger-built-crore-empire/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[deepika khare]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2025 08:01:29 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Startup Spotlight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sourav Joshi Net Worth]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://scoopearth.in/?p=340901</guid> <description><![CDATA[Introduction: Sourav Joshi is a young vlogger who turned his passion for art and storytelling into a Rs 25 crore business empire.

His YouTube channel “Sourav Joshi Vlogs” has over 35 million subscribers, making him one of the most followed Indian daily vloggers. In this article, we’ll explore how this small-town artist turned his small YouTube channel into a million-dollar business, the strategy behind his success, his income streams, and what makes Sourav Joshi stand out in India’s digital landscape. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who is Sourav Joshi: Early Life and Education</strong></h2> <p>Sourav, an entrepreneur, was born on 8th September 2000, and turned his artwork into a complete business. Sourav comes from Haldwani, a small town nestled between the hills of Uttarakhand. He was raised there with his two younger brothers in a middle-class family. The son of a carpenter father and a homemaker mother, he was taught with values of hard work and determination. </p> <p>Sourav had the knack of getting creative from a very young age; he would frequently sketch things. Sourav studied at a government school in Uttarakhand and went to Haryana to graduate from Punjab Group of Colleges. There, he pursued a degree in Fine Arts. His passion for sketching and painting increased from there as the program exposed him to more techniques like digital illustrations and designs. </p> <p>During his college years, Sourav began sharing his artwork online. He shared his artwork on Facebook and gained a small following. He started posting pencil sketch tutorials while experimenting with social media. By the time he graduated, he had a clear vision: using social media platforms to connect with a broader audience and apply his education in fine arts to the world of content creation.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The journey to building the vlogging empire:</strong></h2> <p>Sourav began his content journey in 2015, creating the YouTube Channel Sourav Joshi Arts, which was a channel based on pencil sketches and drawing tutorial courses. Those clips got attention due to their clarity and accessibility. Sourav slowly made his way to the top, earning support with each video he posted. His tutorials were initially received with only a few thousand views per video, but Sourav continued making videos and observing viewer comments out there. </p> <p>He understood that putting just an artwork would not be sufficient as a full-time career option, hence he took a big step by starting up a channel, Sourav Joshi Vlogs, that was inspired by the increasing trend of vlogging. Sourav rebranded his channel and began posting daily vlogs. His videos had things related to his life, family, and adventures in Haldwani. During the lockdown of 2020, his videos got popular with the public and reached a decent audience. Another game changer announced by Sourav was his “365 Vlogs in 365 Days” challenge, where he uploaded a video daily for a year. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A startup mindset:</strong></h2> <p>Sourav got a strong community for his channel rather than just a viewership. He started treating his channel like an actual business, starting with catchy thumbnails with engaging titles, and interacting with viewers to boost engagement. He was still a newbie in the digital world; he studied analytics to understand how YouTube works to keep up with its strict policies. By 2021, he became Indian’s top daily vlogger with his YouTube channel generating a significant revenue. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>YouTube stats and current reach</strong></h2> <p>Sourav Joshi Vlogs has 35.3M subscribers as of August 2025 and is ranked one of the top YouTube channels in India. Sourav has managed to captivate audiences with a constant flow of interesting content; the channel has over 18 billion views combined. His art channel is also followed by millions who love his sketching tutorials.

Alone, through YouTube ads, the industry estimates that he makes something between ₹30-40 lakh a month. That makes an annual income of ₹5 crore. This more specifically calculates the amount a creator gets per 1,000 views ($0.25–$4) and accounts for specific market conditions in India.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Additional sources:</strong></h3> <p>Sourav has millions of followers on Instagram and he charges Rs 7,000–13,000 per sponsor post on his main account, with Rs 1,000–2,000 for posts published on his art channel. In 2023, he was also working with big brands; each deal earns Rs 5 to 15 lakh. He also launched his own merchandise line, which uses brand image to sell clothing and art-related products. He makes extra money on the side with public appearances, projects, and collaborations with other creators. Sourav’s purchase of property also contributes to his net worth by providing a regular source of income. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Assets and lifestyle</strong></h3> <p>Sourav’s success can be seen from his growing portfolio of assets.

There were algorithm changes, controversies, and viewer fatigue. In November 2024, he even received a threatening extortion letter targeting his family. Authorities acted fast and resolved the issue, but it showed the dark side of fame. Additionally, some online critics said that his content is repetitive. However, these criticisms didn’t hinder his growth or popularity.

With its Chief Marketing Officer, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/smit-shukla-64b60559/?originalSubdomain=in" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.linkedin.com/in/smit-shukla-64b60559/?originalSubdomain=in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smit Janak Shukla</a>, the company transformed itself into a brand that promotes life control, especially in the area of mother and child care, having continued to gain the trust of clients as a brand in medical technology. This change starts with a radical, mission-centered culture combining innovation, emotional narratives, and community representation. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Philips’ latest innovation: a wearable, hospital-grade breast pump</strong></h2> <p>A wearable, hospital-grade breast pump is the latest innovation of Philips, but it is much more than just a technological one. It is a mark of freedom, ease, and a sense of dignity for contemporary mothers. The product has been developed to address the top medical standards and achievable convenience in terms of lifestyle, and that is where Philips shows its interest in solving real problems with empathy and precision. Instead of marketing the pump as a gadget, Philips pioneered it as an element of a broader movement to make mothers stronger. The message of the campaign was that of the emotional and practical difficulties of breastfeeding, particularly among working women, and presented the product as a means to regain a sense of agency and power.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Approach of the CMO, Smit Janak Shukla</strong></h2> <p>The leadership role played by Smit Janak Shukla has played a crucial role in ensuring that Philips is driven by purposeful marketing. In an interview with Adgully, Shukla highlights the changing role of the Chief Marketing Officer, not as a brand custodian but a cultural architect. Marketing to Shukla is not about creating impressions. His philosophy is based on profound consumer knowledge, cross-functional teamwork, and dogged intent against purpose. He has made Philips into a brand that has progress as its core purpose that people associate it with by addressing society’s needs and aligning them to business objectives.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Philips’ Purpose-Driven Marketing</strong></h2> <p>By adopting purpose-driven marketing, Philips has repositioned itself as a lifestyle partner as opposed to one that provides medical technology. The main aspect of this change is an emphasis on tackling human problems, particularly in the sphere of mother and child care, through empathy, innovation, and emotional narrative-telling. </p> <p>Emotional storytelling is one of the outstanding features of marketing strategy of Philips. Shukla underlines that current consumers, and above all mothers, do not merely expect functionality, but they desire to feel seen and heard and supported. The ad campaign created by the breast pump was based on very intimate stories about human experiences, featuring everyday mothers who have to come to terms with complicated issues of contemporary parenthood. Philips established an effective emotional connection with its audience by emphasizing stories of strength, weakness, and victory. This strategy not only created trust but also led to discussions of motherhood, mental health, and social expectations.</p> <p>The approach of Philips is not limited to advertising. It has had an active presence among parenting groups and healthcare providers, as well as influencers, to create a bottom-up movement under the brand. Philips has guaranteed that its message was on point by partnering with voices that mothers identify as part of their circle of trust. This stakeholder-centric response assisted Philips in proceeding out of a product provider to a lifestyle partner. It also enabled the brand to receive real-time feedback, identify shifting needs, and collaborate to find solutions with the audience.</p> <p>The key to Philips’ success is its capacity to combine both very innovative technology with humanity-oriented design. Mothers, lactation consultants, and pediatricians were consulted in the development of the breast pump. It was designed to be lightweight, discreet, and easy to use, which is an indication of the profound insight into the daily life of the user. This enabling invention is characteristic of the larger philosophy of Philips. Lifestyles In healthcare products, personal care, or even home appliances, the brand has a dedication to delivering products that build well-being without sacrificing convenience and dignity.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3> <p>The breast pump campaign was a success for Philips, and it is only the start. With further listening, innovation, and advocacy, Philips strives to create a range of products that not only satisfy but also inspire. Philips has demonstrated how marketing can pay it forward. The brand has succeeded in redefining its connection with the consumers because it has made a medical device into a lifestyle movement. It is no longer a selling story, but a story about serving, accompanying, and advocating for what is important.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://scoopearth.in/beyond-the-device-how-philips-purpose-driven-marketing-is-changing-perceptions/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Prashant Kirad Net Worth 2025 Revealed: Earnings, Assets & How This EdTech Star Built a ₹8 Crore Empire</title> <link>https://scoopearth.in/prashant-kirad-net-worth-2025-revealed-earnings-assets-how-this-edtech/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Niraj Kumar]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:30:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Founder's Talk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Prashant Kirad Net Worth]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://scoopearth.in/prashant-kirad-net-worth-2025-revealed-earnings-assets-how-this-edtech/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Introduction: Prashant Kirad is making waves with ExpHub in the Indian edtech space.

Many SaaS companies are gaining global recognition, but they are struggling to secure funding. Insufficient capital often forces small businesses or startups to trade substantial equity for capital. Eklavya Gupta developed an innovative platform, Recur Club, to provide customized fintech solutions and redefine the SaaS sector. </p> <p>Recur Club also helps startups to turn predictable revenue into growth capital without dilution. This financial platform changes how Indian startups and small businesses plan their growth. This article explores Eklavya Gupta’s journey to Recur Club, its challenges, and the impact of Recur Club on India’s startup scene, with a focus on its journey and how it is redefining the SaaS sector. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Eklavya Gupta: Early Life and Education</strong></h2> <p>Eklavya, investor-turned-entrepreneur, co-founded Recur Club to solve some of the financial challenges these small businesses face. He did his Bachelor’s in Engineering from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT), Delhi. His days in NSIT had helped him build the foundation of analytical and technological skills. Applying these skills, Eklavya co-founded Recur Club, a technology-driven financial solutions platform. He was also fascinated by business and hence did his MBA from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta.</p> <p>IIM provided him with a thorough grounding in finance, strategy and taught him ways to tackle problems in the startup funding world. Eklavya met his co-founder of Recur Club, Abhinav Sherwal, while studying at IIM. Gupta also worked in private equity firms and financial companies such as Kotak, Bank of America, and Nomura.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The birth of Recur Club</strong></h2> <p>Eklavya Gupta worked with leading global firms like Kotak and noticed the gap in industries, including real estate and technology. His experience and role working there helped him understand the struggles growth-stage startups face in finding funds without equity loss. There were quite a few great SaaS startups out there, with strong revenue potential but yet were not able to raise funding on time. </p> <p>This inspired Gupta to create a financial solution for such startups. Recur Club was co-founded by Eklavya and Abhinav Sherwal in 2021. They developed an online platform to provide non-dilutive, revenue-based financing solutions to startups. Their goal was simple: to eliminate the lengthy, equity-heavy processes of traditional funding by offering a faster alternative. Eklavya Gupta’s financial expertise and market understanding enabled Recur Club to grow into one of India’s known debt-based financing platforms. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What makes Recur Club stand out from others? </strong></h2> <p>Recur Club stands out from the rest of the financial platforms out there by its revenue model. Its specialty is non-dilutive, revenue-based financing, which is particularly well-suited to SaaS startups with predictable revenue streams, as opposed to traditional lending that requires either collateral or equity. Another one that differentiates it is its technology-driven platform that simplifies the lending process. </p> <p>The app uses data analytics to determine the creditworthiness of startups before matching them to lenders based on their risk profiles. It speeds up the process, unlike banks or VCs, which have a very lengthy process. With a huge lender network including top-tier banks and NBFCs, Recur Club offers startups several funding options. The startup also provides a $10 million fund for eco-friendly startups, making it different from other players in this sector.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Overcoming struggles:</strong></h2> <p>Opening your own business can be hard; building Recur Club was also full of challenges. One major hurdle was convincing people to accept revenue-based financing, which was a new concept in India. Eklavya Gupta and his team had to educate lenders about the benefits and predictability of SaaS revenue streams. Another challenge was building trust in the model. </p> <p>Building a tech-enabled platform to conduct individual credit assessment and lender matchmaking was also difficult. Moreover, with more platforms, VC firms, and traditional banks coming into play, it was challenging to strengthen its position in the competitive funding landscape. Recur club had to distinguish itself uniquely. These problems were mitigated with the help of startups focusing on market demand, speed, and customer-centric solutions. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Redefining Fundraising for SaaS Startups</strong></h2> <p>Indian SaaS startups saw remarkable growth in recent years, but they still face fundraising challenges because of various factors. The companies suffer great losses, especially during economic downturns, which often affect their growth. Traditional venture capital requires founders to exchange funds for equity, which can limit founders’ ability to retain control over the business. </p> <p>Recur Club addresses this by offering non-dilutive financing solutions, allowing founders to have full ownership while accessing capital for growing, marketing, or product development. Unlike VC funding, which takes months to process capital, Recur Club enables loan approvals in just a few days. </p> <p>This is a perfect platform for SaaS startups that want to grab market opportunities or manage cash flow. It focuses on growth-stage SaaS startups and creates a robust ecosystem, allowing founders to scale quickly with less equity dilution.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Impact on the Indian startup ecosystem</strong></h2> <p>Recur Club redefined how startups raise funds by empowering SaaS founders to scale without sacrificing control. This financial platform enables these small businesses to drive innovation and sustainable growth. The platform supported nearly 750 startups in 2025, particularly in the SaaS and D2C sectors, helping to fuel the growth of India’s global SaaS market potential. Eklavya Gupta aims to use Recur Club to support startups that might struggle to secure funding. </p> <p>Recur Club, bridging access between startups and a diverse lender network, enables startups to reduce their dependency on traditional banks or VCs, allowing them to democratize access to capital. It also supports startups that prioritize environmental impact. Recur Club addresses the funding gaps and aims to strengthen India’s position in the global SaaS market. The firm is redefining how startups access capital by expanding its lender network, refining its technology, and introducing new offerings.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion:</strong></h3> <p>Recur Club, founded by Eklavya Gupta, is transforming how fundraising is done in the SaaS sector in India. The company is changing the startup ecosystem by offering a fast and flexible financing solution. It changed the way startups raise funds away from traditional methods. Gupta’s journey started from being an engineering and MBA graduate, to a successful businessman.

The company ensures fast deliveries through a network of hyperlocal warehouses placed in urban areas. The online platform uses AI and data analysis to optimize delivery routes.</p> <p>Zepto has easily become one of the leading names in the Indian startup scene. Kaivalya Vohra, with his friend Aadit Palicha, transformed a simple idea into a quick-commerce company valued at ₹8,200 crore in just five years. The startup has redefined convenience by delivering groceries in ten minutes. This article will mention the birth of Zepto, its challenges, and how Kaivalya Vohra’s visionary approach disrupted the startup ecosystem with a tech-driven business.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Early Life and Education of Kaivalya Vohra:</strong></h2> <p>Kaivalya Vohra came from a middle-class family and was born in Mumbai. As a kid, he had a keen interest in technology. Kaivalya was also very fond of computers, usually spending hours on programs. His parents also encouraged him to pursue his passion for technology and solving problems. Vohra’s love for technology became the backbone of his entrepreneurial journey. </p> <p>Growing up in Mumbai, Kaivalya was aware of the lifestyle of city dwellers. He started to understand customer needs and market demand early on. Vohra completed his studies in Computer Engineering and went abroad to sharpen his knowledge. In the United States, he enrolled at Stanford University to pursue a Computer Science degree.</p> <p>While studying at Stanford, he attended workshops and met the global community of entrepreneurs and innovators. This helped him learn more about business. However, he dropped out of the university after a few months to focus on his own company to solve real-world problems. This also marked the beginning of Zepto. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The birth of Zepto: Startup born in crisis</strong></h2> <p>Kaivalya saw the opportunity to create an e-commerce platform during the COVID-19 pandemic when supply chains were disrupted, leading to delivery delays. He noticed slower delivery times for online orders and thought of a way to get orders delivered within minutes. Vohra recognized a gap in the market for fast and reliable grocery delivery. He then co-founded Zepto with Aadit Palicha, Vohra’s friend from Stanford University.</p> <p>As others struggled to keep up with the needs, Aadit and Kaivalya created a platform that got groceries delivered in minutes, catering to the quick delivery needs of customers. They launched Zepto in 2021 while operating from a tiny apartment in Mumbai. They began the venture with 1,000 employees, including delivery agents. Zepto lacked external funding, so they only relied on their coding skills and determination to build the platform. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The journey and expansion</strong></h2> <p>Kaivalya Vohra worked as a CTO and designed a user-friendly app, while Aadit Palicha took the position as head of operations. The company’s mission was to deliver groceries in just 10 minutes through a network of hyper-local warehouses. The concept of quick commerce was new in India, but everyone loved it. Due to limited resources, Vohra and Palicha had to work on everything alone. The duo handled all things from coding to coordinating deliveries. </p> <p>There was a lockdown, and people avoided leaving home; using Zepto was the only secure choice to get groceries at that time. Within just one month, Zepto earned significant funding, and its valuation rose to Rs 7,300 crore, making Kaivalya Vohra one of the youngest billionaires in India. Zepto also caught the attention of Y Combinator and secured $60 million in funding, marking the beginning of Zepto’s rapid growth in the Indian startup ecosystem.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Building a quick commerce powerhouse</strong></h2> <p>Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms, Zepto’s business model is all about speed and convenience. The company sells its products using small stores present in the locality. These warehouses are stocked with essentials like groceries, toiletries, and snacks. The closeness of stores to urban areas enables drivers to reach customers in minutes. </p> <p>The online platform for Zepto has features including real-time order tracking, AI-driven demand prediction, and optimized delivery routes. The startup has expanded its services to cities: Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, and Pune. Zepto is capturing the public’s attention with its unique properties. The firm’s 10-minute delivery and competitive pricing made it the choice of younger generations.</p> <p>The platform uses advanced technology to help the server handle daily 1k orders without compromising on speed or reliability. Zepto was founded with the mission of not only speedy deliveries, but also to solve real problems. The application leverages Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to analyze customer behavior. It offers a personalized page to ensure that customers get recommendations according to their needs. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What sets Zepto apart from others?</strong></h2> <p>Vohra saw the pattern and realized that customers who received products faster were returning to the platform to order again. Zepto used to deliver orders under 45 minutes, but later they introduced a 10-minute delivery service, making it stand out among other top players in this sector, including Blinkit. It now delivers more than 6000 orders in 10 minutes through its large network and distribution centers across India.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Overcoming challenges:</strong></h2> <p>Starting your own business or running a quick-commerce business in a competitive market can be hard. Kaivalya Vohra was a new entrepreneur and had difficulties like other newcomers. Zepto also faced intense competition from well-established players like Blinkit. The logistical nature of Zepto required high operational costs to maintain small stores and pay delivery riders. The biggest challenge was to attract investors; many were not willing, as it was a new brand with young founders. </p> <p>Zepto also had problems with scaling due to Supply chain disruptions and regulations. The company tried to refine operations and reduce costs without compromising quality. Optimizing the warehouse reduced picking times, and data analytics helped to predict demand. The team also made the firm’s infrastructure easy to scale, allowing it to handle a large number of orders without crashing. </p> <p>Convincing investors was the biggest hurdle. However, Vohra’s clarity of vision and Zepto’s potential attracted investors, making Vohra one of India’s youngest unicorn founders. Kaivalya emerged as the top young entrepreneur in the 2024 Hurun India Rich List and was named as one of the youngest billionaires on the IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List in 2022. Apart from this, he was also mentioned in the Forbes prestigious 30 under 30 Asia List. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How did Zepto reach the ₹8,200 Crore milestone?</strong></h2> <p>Zepto has processed over 1.5 million orders per day and has a GMV of 3 billion USD. The quick commerce startup also reported a valuation of ₹8,200 crore. This marks its strong presence in the Indian quick-commerce startup scene. The company reached this day due to several factors. The things that pushed Zepto so far include Vohra’s tech innovation, Zepto’s user-friendly interface, and customer-centric approach. The startup expanded its reach into tier-2 cities and increased its network among local suppliers. Zepto used a data-driven approach to minimize waste and maximize profitability. Both Vohra and Palicha played their parts as the CTO and CEO of Zepto to reach this success. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Impact and Lessons for entrepreneurs:</strong></h2> <p>Zepto’s story has inspired many young entrepreneurs across India. Vohra was only 19 years old when he co-founded Zepto with Aadit Palicha, proving that age is no barrier to successful business. The journey of Kaivalya Vohra from thinking of an idea to overcoming struggles proves how failure is a key to success. The most important skills to be a successful entrepreneur are to learn from your mistakes. Zepto aims to expand its network into new cities while diversifying its product offerings. The firm wants to make quick commerce easily accessible for everyone in India. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>FAQs:</strong></h3> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What does Zepto do?</strong></h4> <p>Zepto is a quick-commerce startup that brings groceries and daily essentials to your doorstep in under 10 minutes.

Deepak Rajmohan spotted a major issue in the food industry: fruits and vegetables being thrown out due to bad storage management. He took action by launching GreenPod Labs. As a founder of GreenPod, he took the mission to solve the climate crisis by using technology. </p> <p>The company provides AI-powered solutions to manage, optimize, and understand the ecosystem. GreenPod Labs is now leading the eco-friendly climate tech scene in India. Driven by his experience in the food industry and innovation, Deepak created a climate-AI startup that mixes green tech with artificial intelligence. The article explores how Deepak’s GreenPod Labs transforms the Indian climate-AI scene, its impact, and the journey of GreenPod Labs.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How does it impact the startup ecosystem?</strong></h2> <p>GreenPod Labs won the Ray of Hope Prize from the Biomimicry Institute in 2022, which is a big honor that celebrates its nature-inspired approach. The startup also caught the attention of known investors like the Indian Angel Network and Rockstart, allowing them to scale. From helping farmers and testing solutions in India and other countries, GreenPod Labs proves that a small step can create a massive impact.</p> <p>GreenPod Labs offers pilot programs in three major cities, including Bengaluru, where they demonstrate how artificial intelligence can improve the climate conditions and crop management. The startup aims to help farmers in developing countries reduce crop waste and make more money. Reducing food waste also reduces greenhouse gas coming from producing and throwing food, making it a solution for a sustainable environment.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Deepak Rajmohan: Early life and education</strong></h2> <p>Deepak’s curiosity for the environment started at a young age, growing up in Chennai. He had finished his school and college in India before he went abroad. He studied Environmental Science and completed his Master’s in Food Science. Deepak was also curious about how technology solves real-world issues. As a result, he went for a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence. While studying there, he got the idea of combining sustainability with tech. </p> <p>Deepak came from a research background and owns a bachelor’s degree in agricultural engineering, in addition to a master’s degree in food science. After studying and working for five years in the US, he moved to India in 2019. After completing graduation, Deepak was working as an employee in a US startup called Happy Families. He worked there for almost two and a half years. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The birth of GreenPod Labs: Vision to reality</strong></h2> <p>While working in the US food industry, Deepak realized how, even in developed countries, massive amounts of food were being thrown away. Unlike America, India has it worse, with over 40% of fruits and vegetables being wasted before reaching people’s plates due to poor storage management. </p> <p>Realizing this problem gave Deepak a new idea to start his own company to tackle food waste. He left his job in 2019 and came to India with his bold idea, which led to the birth of GreenPod Labs. The startup’s mission was to create a solution that could replace expensive refrigerators, which many farmers were not able to afford cause to the high price. Deepak created GreenPob Labs with an idea to solve real problems instead of making a profit. </p> <p>In places where cold storage ain’t widely available, food tends to spoil fast. GreenPod Labs came as a best alternative with its eco-friendly and affordable processing to help reduce food waste and keep the environment cleaner. Deepak brought together the team of engineers and ecologists in 2022 and introduced GreenPod Labs to the market. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How does GreenPod Labs replace storage needs?</strong></h2> <p>The startup creates products using active packaging technology, which involves materials that emit or absorb substances to interact with food and its surrounding atmosphere. It’s all about learning from nature, a concept called biomimicry. GreePod Labs produces a sachet filled with plant-based extracts. When these extracts are released, they slow down the ripening of fruits or vegetables and fight off germs. </p> <p>The sachet triggers the food’s defense mechanism, just like the human immune system. The startup even customizes these sachets for different crops, and it’s a smart, sustainable mix of GreenTech and AI that reduces food waste while making preservation easier and greener. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The future and the road ahead</strong></h2> <p>Through GreenPod Labs, Deepak Rajmohan wants to reach a future where we can prevent food waste. The company is already planning to grow its AI platform out to other farming segments, and for transportation, they plan to release a technology that reduces pollution. The mission of the startup is to enable an AI-driven Sustainable world. The climate tech startup is investing money into its research and development. </p> <p>In addition, they are constantly experimenting and discovering new ways in which AI can help the environment. Deepak had to overcome challenges like bad market conditions while dealing with economic stresses before he could achieve this level of success. However, instead of going away, he learned from those mistakes and slowly but surely made one of the most powerful AI-powered climate tech startups. Now, GreePod Labs is making a sustainable future a reality. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>FAQs:</strong></h3> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What does GreenPod Labs do?</strong></h4> <p>GreenPod Labs is a climate tech startup that uses AI and creates biotech sachets to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer without refrigeration.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What are the benefits of their technology?</strong></h4> <p>They reduce the need for cold storage, which lowers the food waste, helps farmers make more money, and is best for the environment. They struggled a lot and researched through different means to come up with a small packaging sachet idea. This is a good way to store fruits and vegetables for a long time outside the freezer or storage</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Is the solution eco-friendly?</strong></h4> <p>Yes, the sachets are made from natural, biodegradable materials that break down safely. It’s built for developing countries but works anywhere people want to reduce food waste affordably.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How does AI help GreenPod Labs?</strong></h4> <p>Artificial Intelligence studies data to customize the sachets for different crops and climate conditions, making them work better. The technology also helps in prediction and provides a suitable solution for the problems. </p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Fixing India’s Skilling Crisis: Nikhil Barshikar’s Imarticus Learning Is Changing EdTech 2.0</title> <link>https://scoopearth.in/fixing-indias-skilling-crisis-nikhil-barshikars-imarticus-learning-is-changing-edtech-2-0/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Niraj Kumar]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2025 18:30:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Startup Spotlight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nikhil Barshikar]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://scoopearth.in/fixing-indias-skilling-crisis-nikhil-barshikars-imarticus-learning-is-changing-edtech-2-0/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Introduction India is a country with lots of potential, as it has one of the youngest workforces in the world, making it easier to become an economic giant.

The thing that’s holding it back is the skill crisis. Millions of students graduate and leave college each year, yet many remain unemployed. The reason is that the skills they learn in classrooms don’t match what employers need. This gap between what students learn and what companies want is holding back skill development. In this article, we’ll explore Nikhil Barshikar’s journey and the birth of Imarticus Learning, and how it transformed the edtech industry. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nikhil Barshikar: Early Life and Education</strong></h2> <p>Nikhil Barshikar grew up in a middle-class family in Mumbai. The city is known as India’s financial capital. After completing his school, he wanted to sharpen his skills and get a world-class education. Nikhil moved abroad and joined Rutgers University in the United States, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in finance. He earned a dual MBA from London Business School and Columbia Business School. </p> <p>This background provided him with a solid knowledge of global business and how education is evolving in workforce development. He also caught the global edtech market trends while studying abroad. Before starting his own company, he worked as an employee at the Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The journey of the startup: Imarticus Learning</strong></h2> <p>The company where Nikhil worked as an employee needed more skilled employees, but he witnessed how they were struggling to find suitable candidates. Nikhil noticed that the graduates were not job-ready, and as a result company had to invest heavily in internal training to fill the skill gap. He saw this as an opportunity, and it sparked the idea of creating a platform that helps people develop skills. Nikhil Barshikar teamed up with Sonya Hooja and launched Imarticus Learning in late 2012. </p> <p>Imarticus Learning was made to fill this skill gap, positioning itself as the leader in the edtech sector. Nikhil Barshikar, through his innovative startup Imarticus Learning, solved this problem with practical, job-focused education. The company’s vision was to combine online learning with in-person mentorship, backed by real-life projects and case studies. The company’s mission is to empower people through education by training students with skills that the industry truly wants. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What makes Imarticus Learning stand out?</strong></h2> <p>Imarticus Learning is much more than an online course platform.

In a finance-related course it provides resources that help you learn how to make investments or manage money for companies in the real world. </p> <p>This hands-on learning approach helps students dive into real-world projects like designing AI tools. The platform offers skills that users can learn and use right away. In addition, Imarticus Learning partners with industry giants like Deloitte, HSBC, and PwC, along with 500 more companies. Teaming up with these companies allows the startup to keep its courses updated with what skills industries need. The placement also becomes easy with partnerships. These factors make Imarticus Learning different from other edtech platforms. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How is it changing edtech 2.0?</strong></h2> <p>The edtech startup provides its students with a full package of skills, experience, and job placements. The company is a next wave of educational technology that breaks traditional education norms by providing a personalized learning experience and skill-focused learning instead of textbook learning. Traditional edtech platforms offer resources and a completion certificate; however, Imarticus ensures that students are learning skills that will help to secure a job. </p> <p>The startup is changing the edtech world by offering customized programs. For example, a company needs an employee who can analyze the stock market. Imarticus will make a course for this position. They also use advanced technology like artificial intelligence to track students’ progress. If someone is struggling with a topic, the system adjusts its difficulty, allowing students to catch up. The tailor-made approach made Imarticus a leader in Edtech 2.0. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Overcoming challenges</strong></h2> <p>Starting your own business or running an edtech company can be hard. Nkhil Barshikar was a new entrepreneur and had his own share of worries, like other newcomers. The biggest challenge was to convince investors that his idea was worth the investment. He also needed to build awareness and propose his ideas to people who were used to traditional learning. </p> <p>The team experimented with various methods until they reached the final stage. To make it work, he had a meeting with industry experts, and finally, they were able to build courses that were more than just passing exams. The courses were made to help students prepare for real careers. The company slowly became a game-changer in the edtech world.</p> <p>With so much competition, there was also a challenge to build brand awareness and a solid customer base. The startup was able to overcome these challenges with a capable and skilled team. It was the concept of giving Eternity Roses to celebrities and influencers that helped put them on everyone’s radar. Imarticus Learning is tackling India’s skill crisis while showcasing how education should evolve. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>FAQs:</strong></h3> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What courses does Imarticus Learning offer?</strong></h4> <p>They provide training in data science, AI, finance, business analytics, and other fields where jobs are booming.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How does Imarticus Learning help with job placements?</strong></h4> <p>The startup partners with over 500 companies and has a team that guides students through the job-hunting process.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Is Imarticus Learning only for recent graduates?</strong></h4> <p>No. The edtech platform provides courses for everyone from fresh graduates and working professionals to people who want to switch careers.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What makes Imarticus Learning different from other edtech platforms?</strong></h4> <p>Its outcome-driven focus, blended learning model, with practical skills and real industry connections.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How are job placements supported?</strong></h4> <p>Through guaranteed internships, a dedicated placement cell, mock interviews, and a live recruiter network, it helps in securing a good job.
