Description

This week on The Offline Network, Utsav and Dhruv sit down with three founders building very different parts of the India opportunity — one who built a generational education brand, one who is fixing how Indian families pay for education, and one who bootstrapped three global SaaS products without raising a rupee of VC. 1/ Ankit Dudhwewala built CallHippo without a technical background and without raising VC — three SaaS products, $20 Mn+ combined revenue, all bootstrapped. 2/ Eela Dubey built EduFund — now helping 250,000+ Indian families plan and finance their children's education. 3/ Aakash Chaudhry co-built Aakash Institute into one of India's largest test prep networks — 300+ centres. Now building again with Sparkl: One-on-one live tutoring.
