Vidit Aatrey

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.Follow Nikhil here:-Twitter https://twitter.com/nikhilkamathcio/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio/Koo https://www.kooapp.com/profile/Nikhilkamath#KishoreBiyani - Founder of Future Group, Big Bazaar - Godfather of Indian e-commerce#SujeetKumar - Co-founder of UdaanFollow Sujeet here:-Twitter https://twitter.com/Sujeet_fkLinkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/sujeet-kumar-90039b16#ViditAatrey - Co-founder of MeeshoFollow Vidit here:-Twitter https://twitter.com/viditaatreyLinkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidit-aatrey-a3639120#nikhilkamath #podcast #ecommerce #WTFiswithNikhilKamath #WTFisEcommerce #KishoreBiyani #meesho #flipkart #amazon #walmart #udaan #blissclub #myntra #brand #marketing #products
