How “Shark” Amit Jain plans to build 20 unicorns out of Jaipur with his brother Anurag
Manage episode 468895509 series 3586815
In this conversation with Amit Jain (Co-Founder & CEO, CarDekho) and Anurag Jain (Co-Founder & COO, CarDekho) we learn why every founder should consider building in a small town like Jaipur—and do it with family.
Amit and Anurag turned what started as a small-town dream (announced on LinkedIn - true story) into a billion-dollar reality. If that doesn’t make you believe in manifestation, we don’t know what will. 😏
CarDekho’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From a bootstrapped company to one of India’s most sought-after startups, they’ve completely redefined how India buys and sells cars.
In this conversation, we break down:
- The power of trust in leadership and how it shapes company culture.
- Scaling a startup: structuring equity, empowering talent, and navigating co-founder dynamics.
- Why founders today should pick Tier 2 cities over metros to thrive.
- Working with family—the unique challenges, advantages, and what makes it work.
- The mindset shifts required to build billion-dollar businesses and what Indian entrepreneurs can learn from global success stories.
This episode is a must-watch for aspiring entrepreneurs, family business owners, corporate leaders, and anyone looking to turn their big dreams into reality.
