Koo’s co-founder Aprameya Radhakrishna speaks to CE about his entrepreneurship journey, social media privacy, and what triggers him to new startup ideas
It all started at one of the restaurants in Bengaluru when IIT-Ahmedabad alumni Aprameya Radhakrishna and Raghunandan G, jotted down the daily woes of a common man including the loopholes in city’s cab services on a paper napkin. As necessity is the mother of all inventions, the duo (after quitting their corporate jobs) embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship. This gave birth to Taxi and Sure in 2010. Interestingly, Radhakrishna had come across the word ‘start up’ and the concept of entrepreneurship only in 2008.
Fast forward-12 years later-he’s the co-founder of the most talked-about Made In India microblogging site – Koo.However, coming this far wasn’t a cakewalk. A drink in a pub, a drive on the roads of Bengaluru, interacting with people in different cities, and drawing case studies from different brands, have sort of become the groundwork for many of his ideas.One of the fundamental principles Radhakrishna follows in entrepreneurship is to listen more and maintain introversion.
