.@prasanth_p schools are receptive. larger impact of your tech will come from winning that market. Coachin mkt good too #babapitch @uni_con1

.@prasanth_p most important to focus on one segment and prove that it works. then you can expand to more @uni_con1 #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@mitensampat The question was more focussed on how to win that market. Any companies that have done it at scale? @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— prasanth_p (@prasanth_p) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p Educomp sold to schools at scale, but had some gaps in their business model; Blackboard is another example @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p you need a success case from a school with depth. Many schools owned by trusts that have 10's of schools @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p if it works in one place, they will expand use case across their network fast. Thats the way to get in ! @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@mitensampat Educomp has massive sales force on ground. Not sure if that's the way we want to go. @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— prasanth_p (@prasanth_p) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p agree, focus on a few schools who are receptive; be selective on choosing customer. no need for big team @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
@mitensampat @uni_con1 @prasanth_p Interesting point. But when we are exploring MVP aren't we expected to explore multiple segment.

.@prasanth_p don't copy what others do :) ...have original ideas that make sense; selecting initial customer CRITICAL @uni_con1 #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 1) market seems large, but very hard to "address" 2) focus on a couple segments to prove MVP @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 3) go to schools who will engage with honest feedback 4) measure teacher-time closely @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 5) build growth hacks into the product inherently... example get parents excited to propagate @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 6) parents are often the real customer, they are the ones who pay; and talk to other parents @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 7) coaching classes could be very good price-agnostic customer base too; try that route @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 8) solve for a particular edu system like CBSE/IB etc; will help scale once proved @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p 10) keep at it, you've already got some revenues, so get focused and chip away! goodluck dude @uni_con1 #concluding #babapitch
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@mitensampat Got it. :) But how original can an idea be? Launch it and there are 10+ others already doing this in a few months @uni_con1
— prasanth_p (@prasanth_p) February 5, 2017
@prasanth_p Original doesn't necessarily mean unique, but that it is thought through 1st principles & nt just lifted @mitensampat @uni_con1

@raxit yup :) ... they tell other parents about how something works for their "smart kid" @prasanth_p @uni_con1
— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
@prasanth_p IMHO you should try to Tie-up with colleges / recruiting cos / @careerguide 's to monetize test users #BabaPitch @uni_con1
— Rachit Jain (@rchtjn) February 5, 2017
.@mitensampat Challenge I see is in scaling this profitably. If not for that, we would already be a mature company. :) @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— prasanth_p (@prasanth_p) February 5, 2017
.@prasanth_p keep costs low at the outset, don't build too many things. and you need couple sales people thats it. @uni_con1 #babapitch

— Miten H Sampat (@mitensampat) February 5, 2017
.@mitensampat Yup, lean team so far. Don't have VC money to burn, so end up doing jugaad, been effective so far. :) @uni_con1 #BabaPitch
— prasanth_p (@prasanth_p) February 5, 2017
@mitensampat @prasanth_p @uni_con1 use collaboration and partnerships. Quicker to scale up in this area.
