    Bootstrap | Compete | Pivot. — Inside Tarun's Live Blueprint to Deploy The Sales Algorithm

    "We were up against Microsoft. And we didn't back down." That line from my latest conversation with Tarun Malaviya, founder of Mithi Software Technologies, stuck with me — and it was just the opening act of one of the most honest, nuts-and-bolts startup stories I've had on the podcast. In this episode, Tarun doesn't give the polished version. He lays it all bare: Building from scratch — no shortcuts, no playbook, just relentless iteration in the early days of building a startup. Going head-to-head with Microsoft— most founders would have buckled. Tarun stayed in the fight, refused to accept the market's first answer, and kept pushing until he found the openingno one else saw. The pivot that changed everything— not a lucky break, but the result of persistence meeting pattern recognition.A startup pivot you only find by staying in the game long enough to see it. Reinventing the product, again and again— and here's the part every founder needs to hear: as the product evolved, so did the ICP and the TAM. Vaultastic didn't just get better — it moved up the value chain, into a bigger, more valuable market than the one it started in. Finding his Scaling Blue Print— Tarun shared how reading TheSales Algorithm helped him crystallize the roadmap for scaling whathe'd built — turning hard-won instinct into a repeatable system. What I love about this conversation is that it's not a highlight reel. It's a real business story — the mechanics of how a company survives its toughest years and comes out sharper on the other side, told by someone who lived every bit of it. What's the toughest pivot you've had to make in your business? #TheSalesAlgorithm#StartupJourney #FounderStory #Vaultastic #Entrepreneurship #ProductStrategy#B2BSales #Pivot #SaaS #BuildInPublic

    #6A:Sandip Chintawar, Udit Agarwal and Rengan Jayakrishnan|Panel Discussions on "Is AI a disruptor or a game changer for Sales and Marketing?"

    AI s redefining the future of sales and marketing. From automating routine tasks to eliminating mis-selling, AI empowers teams to focus on strategic decisions and genuine customer relationships. Automation handles what humans can't,propelling both B2B and B2C into an era where efficiency meets value. In high-ticket, relationship-based B2B sales, human connection remains essential, but AI is the perfect partner—enhancing outcomes and streamlining processes. The best interests of sellers and buyers are served: mediocrity fades, impact escalates.   #SalesTransformation#AIDrivenSales #SalesAutomation #B2Bsales #B2Csales #FutureOfSales #AIMarketing#SalesInnovation
