The pollution problem of Delhi-NCR started aggravating since 2006 and was not recognized until 2014.

Anthony Sarandrea, a leading US-based entrepreneur, a permanent feature in Forbes’  top “under 30-year-old” entrepreneurs list and a motivational speaker, is all geared up to get into Bollywood as an actor.

After making his mark as a successful entrepreneur, he is looking to take up new challenges in life. He has been facing the cameras for very long and is also a renowned motivational speaker. His expertise sparked interest in acting in him and he finally started looking for some good roles to mark his acting debut.

Finally, he received a call from Bollywood where he has bagged a big-budget project in which he will be the leading actor.

“After spending so many years as an entrepreneur, I wanted some new challenges in life and my interest in acting helped me find that challenge. I was looking for some offers for months now but finally, I have got something which I believe would be good to begin my career with. I wanted a significant role in a movie which I would be able to do justice to and I feel God just listened to me,” said Sarandrea.

“It is a dream come true moment for me as I have no experience of acting but I have started taking acting classes now and my teachers are impressed with my improvement so far. I hope to excel in this field as well and enjoy a career here as well,” he added.

Currently, Anthony is known as one of the best customer-generators across the world. He specializes in the financial services space and has a team that has been generating over 1 million customers every year. He has also helped Americans recover more than 650 million dollars in debt.

He had also featured alongside Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel as one of the “Entrepreneurs who are changing the world”.

Now, him turning to act, it feels like he is going to give a tough competition to his counterparts here.

He has already come to India and is also taking dance classes to brush his dancing skills. Not much has been revealed about the film but it seems that it is going to be an unorthodox love story which has never been seen before in Bollywood.

“We are working on an original story which is not inspired by any past films from India or around the world. This story has touched my heart and I feel blessed to be a part of the project. It really is a great opportunity for me to prove myself in a different field as I have got a great script to work upon,” said Sarandrea.

Being associated with YES Bank, Chandraprakash Joshi used to travel a lot to small towns and villages for attending SHG (Self Help Group) meetings. 

On one such official trip to a village in Odisha, Joshi learned that villagers are using microfinance loans for paying school fees. Not only this, he got to know that villagers were ordering branded products online. On knowing this, he was amazed and got the startup idea to fill the gap. Unavailability of the quality education in small towns and people’s willingness to pay for education makes a huge business opportunity as more than two-thirds of the 300 million students in India live in remote areas. 

Sensing the need to address the gap and capitalize on the market opportunity, Joshi and 2 other co-founders founded ixamBee in December 2016. The edtech company provides training for more than 50 competitive exams like Banking, Insurance, Teaching, Railways, SSC and others prep tests in the form of online learning solution. 

“To create a firm plan, I met co-founder Arunima, who started Stratagem-a coaching institute for competitive exams, in 2010 after quitting her job with SIDBI. When I discussed this startup plan with her, she said that it’s a divine call as she was already working for expanding the success of Stratagem. In my search for a tech co-founder, I met Sandeep through my friends in Gurgaon and in the first meeting; I got impressed with his experience in the startup space. He was part of the core tech team of MakeMyTrip and has worked with founding team of MakeMyTrip for the initial six years. Sandeep also co-founded Babyhugz.com, an e-commerce platform for baby products,” informed Chandraprakash Joshi CEO, Co-Founder, ixamBee. 

The three musketeers bring complementary skills to the startup- Arunima is a passionate teacher, Sandeep a Tech-wiz and Joshi come from business development and senior leadership work experience. “We met in September 2016 and incorporated ixamBee in December 2016, while the website was launched in April 2017,” said Joshi.

What they Offer…

They started with Testprep because they found a large gap in the existing offering in this space. “We have the advantage of domain knowledge.  We provide complete learning solutions for competitive exams,” said Joshi.  At present they have learning courses for more than 10 exams and mock tests for more than 50 exams. Further, they provide crisp and quality content matching to the specific requirement of the exam. 

The co-founder boasts to have 870K registered students who have attempted more than 350 million 5practice questions at ixamBee. Every month 0.5 million users visit their website and the numbers are increasing rapidly.

Business Model

The edtech startup has a freemium business model in which 99% of our users learn for free. “Our content is created by subject matter experts and we use technology to create exam-specific content and personalize that for the user requirement. We provide mock tests for more than 55 competitive exams and all these tests match the difficulty level of exams. We provide all mock tests for free. Our video-based learning course is our paid product. We have learning courses for competitive exams like Bank PO, RBI, SEBI, NABARD, EPFO, RRB, IBPS SO and others,” said Joshi.

According to the founder, in the last year, ixamBee website traffic has grown more than 10 times and revenue has grown more than 4 times.

Funds raised…

More than Rs.80 lakh have been invested by the co-founders. However, they have raised angle money of Rs.19 Cr that helped them in accelerating their growth while developing a robust platform and finding a product-market fit. 

“We are now raising institutional funding for scaling up faster. We plan to raise $1.0 million to meet our growth target,” informed Joshi.

Who they compete with…

According to Joshi, when they started most of the existing players such as OnlineTyari, Testbook, Oliveboard, GradeUp, MockBank, and others were offering testing solutions by providing practice mock tests. “We are the only platform in the testprep market that does not sell any mock test but gets subscribers for complete learning solutions,” said Joshi.

Road ahead…

In the last 2.5 years, they have worked for developing the platform and processes for making online learning effective. “Now we are planning to grow rapidly by launching more courses while making the technology platform superiors to create an online learning experience. In the upcoming years, we plan to reach 5 million students with an annual revenue of over Rs.10 Cr. The organic traffic and word to mouth publicity of the existing users are helping us to grow faster,” informed Joshi.

Sector overview…

India has the advantage of a demographic dividend and there are more than 300 million students in India. As per the various estimates, the education market in India is $100-150 billion. The confidence in online learning is increasing due to the better quality of content and measurement of the learning outcome. At present ixamBee is working in test prep in which there are 70 million-plus users preparing for various competitive exams. In March 2018, 28 million candidates applied for about 90k jobs in Indian Railways.  As per KPMG Google report published in 2017, the online education market is going to be 1.96 Bn by 2021. However considering the revenue of existing players like BYJU’S, Toppr, upGrad, Unacademy, Vedantu, etc the market seems to be growing much larger. The test prep market for govt jobs is about $3Bn with over 50 million aspirants. 

In India, talking about infertility is still a taboo. Although women in Tier 1 cities have come a long way and gone are the days when barrenness was attributed only to them. However, in tier 2 and 3 cities it is still considered taboo. 

Moreover, women’s health has long been devoid of technological innovation, but when it comes to fertility options, this started to change with the advent of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) which covers a wide spectrum of treatments OI, AI, IVF, ICSI, PGT.

Due to many factors like high cost, less awareness and lack of regulatory practices, the ART industry in India is still at a nascent stage in India.  The consumers, who plan to access this service, often get confused with no platform to guide them towards their parenthood journey.  

Hence, ElaWoman, a startup in the field of reproduction took the burden to bridge this gap by building a transparent data-driven community where users can independent and trusted advice can connect with specialized experienced Doctors specific to their fertility needs. At present, there are more than five thousand fertility doctors and clinics listed across more than thirty-two cities in India.

ElaWoman was launched by NST (Netaji Subhas Institute of Management) Delhi alumni Ritu Singh. Her past work with Deloitte and cognizant helped her to hone her business planning and customer relationship skills. With abundant experience of working in the internet and healthcare industry, she was able to found and establish the startup ElaWoman.

During an interaction, Ritu Singh, CEO, Co-Founder, ElaWoman discussed about why Indian women are turning to science and technology for fertility. Below is the excerpt from the interview:

Women of reproductive age are turning to science and technology to get their treatments done for all infertility related problems. The reasons behind the same are many. IVF techniques are beneficial for women in and around their reproductive age. A notable number of female population is moving to IVF treatments owing to the IVF success rates. Fertility levels keep on changing with the age, majorly among women. There is an increased demand for artificial insemination and assisted reproductive technology procedures among women due to several factors such as medical conditions, late marriages and lifestyle changes. 

The medical conditions preventing a successful conception or pregnancy are an imbalanced menstrual cycle, ovulation disorders, vaginal infections, polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis. It has been observed that women aging between 25-30 years of age are engaged in getting stable in their lives and working hard to fulfill their career dreams and goals. 

In the process of prioritizing their career and finances, these women have to rush for having kids and completing their families in later life. The trend of having delayed marriage leads to a delayed conception of babies. It is a well-accepted fact once a woman crosses her biological age; her body fails to make a required number of quality eggs. When women are young, their ovaries are full of egg follicles. After a certain age when women plan to start their families by natural conception, they might fail to conceive owing to the above-mentioned reasons. Women or couples experiencing infertility can take guidance and support from healthcare facilitators like Elawoman to welcome that adorable newborn complete their families. Combined research made on the infertility science and technology is carried by the Ela experts to increase the pregnancy success rates.
