ABOUT JAMEEL AKHTER
Hey People,Since you have landed here, let me give you a tip: “If your story doesn’t make someone curious in 10 seconds, the market will scroll past you.”Yes, you read that right. If that doesn’t feel right today, it will tomorrow for sure. I was not always into startups. I was working perfectly in an edtech company (Not Byju’s, trust me) and Startup Pedia happened, just like that.Left my job at the Edtech company and started running Startup Pedia full-time. Yes, proper office and all. But soon realised, I need to learn more, so I went to IIT Roorkee for my MBA (had offers from other IIMs too, not BLACKI though). Will tell you the story of WHY IIT ROORKEE for an MBA some other day.Didn’t want to sit for placements, but you never know, so I sat for it and fortunately, got placed at TATA AIA.Woah!Some people advised me not to join TATA AIA and continue with Startup Pedia, and others said I should experience this. Fir maine hamesha ki trah “suni sabki or ki khud ki”. Joined TATA AIA, went to Bombay, experienced proper corporate, worked in B2B sales, operations & strategy. All in all, it was a rollercoaster ride.But you know what “Maza nai aa rha tha” to chhod diya or aa gya wapas with some risk in hand and to scale Startup Pedia.And here I am. Trying, failing, learning, improving & building things bit by bit.You might see my content here on LinkedIn in the form of learnings, stories or sometimes ranting (only sometimes).On YouTube, I am doing a podcast to understand the journeys & learnings of founders, investors, & startup ecosystem enablers.On Instagram, well, you should check yourself. Anyway, too much information. Just trying to be human in the world of AI (or at least trying to keep the human side of us alive along with AI)In case you are someone who thinks we should work together or have a chat about future opportunities.Here I am, j•••••@startuppedia.in
