Ep #03 | WTF is E-commerce: Kishore Biyani, Udaan & Meesho Founders Reveal What Sells and What Doesn’t
Vidit's Upbringing
- Vidit Aatrey, Meesho's co-founder, grew up in Rohini, Delhi, with a family background in farming.
- He was the first engineer in his family, initially believing only government jobs or shopkeeping were career options.
Scarcity vs. Abundance
- Kishore Biyani attributes his drive to growing up in a shortage era, contrasting it with his children's abundance.
- He believes scarcity fosters harder work and expands thinking, while abundance may create different outcomes.
Sujeet's Journey to Flipkart
- Sujeet Kumar, Udaan's founder, transitioned from a Hindi-medium education in Bihar to IIT Delhi.
- He joined Flipkart in 2008 after experiencing the 2008 recession's impact on his KPO startup.
The art of selling isn’t simple, but Kishore Biyani - the legendary ‘father of modern retail’ in India; Vidit Aatrey - Co-Founder of the $5 billion dollar e-commerce company Meesho; and Sujeet Kumar - Founder of the B2B industry leader Udaan - make it look easy. They don’t always agree, though... Expect raw, in-depth, and sometimes heated insights into why some products fly off the (virtual) shelves while others fail, successes and failures on the journey to growing multi-billion dollar businesses, and why e-commerce is inescapable - we either sell or get sold to.
