India: After successfully creating multiple consumer businesses, entrepreneur Shirish Nadkarni has now embarked on a new journey as a writer. In his latest venture, Mr. Nadkarni will be guiding his peers and aspiring entrepreneurs on how they can navigate through all phases of their tech startup journey and emerge successfully. His new book, ‘From Startup to Exit’ is an insider’s guide on launching and scaling tech businesses to new highs.
With the spread of the pandemic, the technology landscape has changed drastically. The majority of the businesses have either moved to cloud technology or adopted artificial intelligence or machine learning enabling them to offer innovative technology based solutions. This development has also led to a surge in tech startups. As a result, India has emerged as a global digital hub, especially in the past year. From Startup to Exit revolves around the knowledge that pioneering serial entrepreneur Shirish Nadkarni has gained from over two decades of success, detailing the practical aspects of startup formation from founding, funding, management, and finding an exit.
Speaking about his experience, entrepreneur-turned-author Mr. Shirish Nadkarni, says “In the past few years, the growth in India’s startup ecosystem has been phenomenal. Even the arrival of the pandemic did not dampen the trajectory for a majority of startups as the growth they witnessed during this period is extraordinary. My book, From Startup to Exit, talks about the three crucial aspects of running a startup successfully, i.e. how to achieve product market fit for their solution; how to develop a Go-to-Market strategy; how to raise funds from angels and VCs, and finally, how to scale the firm to eventually achieve an exit. In short, it covers all aspects of an entrepreneur’s journey.”
The book takes readers through his entrepreneurial journey and shares the lessons that he has learned through this journey. The book includes topics like the transformation of the global industry, the Impact of the pandemic, technology platform shifts, and lots more.
Mr. Nadkarni can speak with conviction and authority as he has been associated with the startup scene since 1999, a time when he decided to move on from Microsoft and begin his first firm. When he first started building his company, he noticed the deficit of books for beginners in the startup world. Hence, after almost 20 years now, he has written a guide for all new and experienced entrepreneurs to learn and grow.
The tech-led acceleration in all industries is here to stay, and many more startups will emerge in the coming years. From Startup to Exit, will pave the way for all beginners and act as an essential tool for finding a solution to their problems.
