In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Saahil Goel in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is the MD and CEO of Shiprocket, one of India’s leading e-commerce companies. We have made this episode like a masterclass for anyone who wants to start a business but is clueless about how to get started.

In this episode, we talked about the growth of Shiprocket and key opportunities in the e-commerce space. We then talked about new unexplored yet profitable business opportunities for new entrepreneurs, three global trends and niches where businesses can be made, and top export business ideas. We also talked about the in-depth process of making a business plan, why packaging matters in India, why he recommends direct selling over marketplaces for startups, and why price point matters to attract the right consumers.

Towards the end, we cover essential marketing strategies for brands, the game-changing impact of great copywriting, and why Apple has some of the best copy in the industry. Finally, we talk about what drives investors to fund startups, the key factors they consider, and the common mistakes entrepreneurs should avoid.
