Startup founders are typically laser-focused on go-to-market (GTM) strategies, raising capital, growing revenue, reducing losses, becoming profitable, building scale and more.

Business metrics were important, but Kumar set a larger goal for himself - to create new opportunities in smaller towns and help talent from cities like Coimbatore, Trichy, Surat and Nagpur access jobs in IT with ease.
