7. What Challenges did you face while launching this startup?
The key challenge for us has been to build a lean company. It is always easy to create fat organisations but when you focus on lean the people identification becomes even more critical. People need to have the right attitude to take on a multi faceted roles and need to have an open mind to change. I have believed that the primary role which I tried to do when was working for others and now for myself how do we identify the people well enough during the interviews process so that we don't fail them and they don't fail us. It is the open and well gaurded relation between us and our people which will lead Sainergie to a lean company churing our effective and practical solutions.
8.What are your Future Plans?
Sainergie will concentrate on the US and Europe markets to get more Services projects and reach 10k people on AsSure, roll out evento+ by Dec 2016 and establish evento. We aim to generate 15 million USD revenue by 2019-20 FY ending.
