The current
startup culture in India needs a lot of support from Angel investors, Digital
agencies and the media to be able to create a mark. Funding is very limited but
opportunities are galore. In light of this, a startup ClickMyDay organized a Marketing
Hackathon to share information and tactics with wannabe startups.
The event
began with a session taken by Adobe’s Marketing Cloud Division Head, who spoke
at length about the importance of Digital Analytics. He explained the various
technical terms like impressions, bounce rate, clicks, etc and the importance
of each of those to understand success of Apps &/or websites.
This was
followed by an Angel Investor who focused on the importance of capital adequacy
and financials of any business model. This was the first step towards getting
funding.
Soon after
OLA’s Marketing Manager spoke about the tactics that helped OLA to be the
largest cab service provider in India and the huge number of downloads of their
apps across different smartphone devices.
The session
winded up with an ideation session where the various entrepreneurs came
together to ideate and plan around their business models.
What made
this event an even more special outing for INLEAD and INLEADers was that, Ms.
Janvee Garg, one of the co-founders of ClickMyDay, is a former INLEADer, and
seeing her achieve such massive success in the entrepreneurial world was a real
inspiration for all the current INLEADers.
Jaya Anand, INBM Apr’15 MBA: “The event gave us an opportunity
to interact with many startup entrepreneurs who were participating in the event.”
