Great Insights about the journey of an Entrepreneur.

#UpStart Live – The Journey Of An Entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurship can be a tough and long journey for many people. Some get lucky and succeed the first time. But you continue to learn and grow.

Entrepreneur’s journey is unique but that doesn’t mean you’re alone. Everyone who has taken that journey before you has something to offer; valuable lessons to help you with your own trek. While reading a biography or a well-written article provides some insight, there is a magic to actually hearing these stories from the people who lived them, unplugged, without the benefit of editors and prosaic copy; it’s raw, revealing, and humanising.

In the third edition of UpStart Live webinar series, we bring you a set of eminent speakers who will share their experiences and learnings from their Entrepreneurship journey.

“An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down.” – Reid Hoffman (Co-Founder of LinkedIn).

Speaker:
1) Ruchir Punjabi – Founder & Chair at Langoor | Founder @ AlterNet.io | Co-founder @ Pensaar. He founded Langoor, a digital agency, in 2009 at the age of 22 out of his living room. Since then his dedication and passion has seen the business flourish and it now has more than 200 people across Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangalore, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Dubai.

2) Praveen Rajaretnam (aka Speedy Gonzales) – Co-founder and CMO @Wooplr.com | Ex-McAfee | Guest Writer for BI & YourStory. He has been involved with startups from past 10 years, first as an employee at a startup that was acquired and then having started up myself. His passions for digital marketing, advertising and growth hacking keep him busy in the dynamic world of startups. His work has been recognised in the industry and has been used to build case studies by Facebook. He has also given talks at Google.

#UpStart Live – Growth Hacking.

There’s no denying that growth hacking is hot and here to stay. But despite the buzz, many businesses still don’t have the framework they need to build a successful growth marketing engine.

You can hear growth hacking almost everywhere especially for startups. But do you even wonder what really is it all about? For startups, it is all about getting into the spotlight and earn easily with less spending.

In the fourth edition of UpStart Live webinar series, learn more strategies and methods, how to Growth Hack your startup/product.

“Growth hacking is not anti-marketing, it is the evolution of marketing, it is pro-growth.” Sean Ellis (CEO @ GrowthHackers.com).

“Growth Hacking is a methodology that leverages strategies aimed at unlocking growth at scale” – Morgan Brown

Speakers:
1) Ravi Trivedi is the founder of PushEngage.com, a leading platform for browser push notifications, which is currently live in 105+ countries.

TIE Bangalore brings to you the Design Startup Showcase on 10th March hosted by BHIVE Workspace Sector 6, HSR layout.

With the evolution of the startup ecosystem in India and the Silicon Valley, the ‘technology stack’ of the internet has been built up and commoditized thanks to cloud computing and open source software. Most startups focus on technology and service ideas, while giving an afterthought at best to the way their product/service looks and functions. Although there’s nothing wrong with coming up with something unique, the factor that really makes a difference between a huge success and dismal failure could be something else: DESIGN.

Users don’t care much about what’s underneath, but they do care about what they see, feel and experience. In other words, quality of design impacts business results, not only in terms of revenue, but also in many cases whether startups get funded or not.

Companies like Apple are making design impossible for startups to ignore. Startups like GitHub, AirBnB and FitBit have design at the core of their business, and they’re doing phenomenal work. But what does ‘design’ comprise? Is it just the logo? A website theme? An interactive interface?

Join us for DESIGN PITCHES BY STARTUPS innovating in UI/UX. Startups with Minimum Viable Products will pitch their products to design experts for incremental feedback and mentorship. The pitching startups will present to an audience of 100+ delegates along with a jury consisting of startup evangelists, design gurus, and technology mentors.

#UpStart Live 5 – Content Marketing.
Hosted by PayU & Supported by BHIVE & Bangalore Startups.

Content marketing is more than advertising, it is all about showing your customers who you are, rather than just telling them.

It has transformed the way businesses interact with their customers. Since the rise of social media, brands now have to become closer and more communicative with their customers if they want their loyalty and trust in return.

Simply broadcasting advertising messages is no longer the only strategy available and it’s not advisable if your customer has made the effort of including you in their ‘social’ circle.

Today – it is important to give out advice, engaging stories and information that is of genuine use or interest.

In the fifth edition of UpStart Live webinar series, learn about how to turn content into customers from content marketing experts. Explore what content works best at each stage of the marketing funnel ranging from created to curated content.

“Content Marketing is all the Marketing that’s left.” ~ Seth Godin

“Content is king.” ~ Bill Gates

Disrupt 4.0 – Artificial Intelligence: Advanced Machine Learning

Date:Thursday, 04th May 2017 | Time: 5:00pm – 7:00pm

“The Singularity is Near”- Ray Kurzweil, Futurist and AI Expert

“Data Scientists command the maximum compensation” – Unknown

Singularity refers to the time epoch when Artificial Intelligence overtakes human intelligence. It is said that this event will occur in our current lifetimes. Will we be able to keep our dominance over machines?

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are the new tools of human evolution ! Driverless cars, brain-machine connectivity, software-driven healthcare, chatbot concierge, intelligence quant machines and robotic process automation are no longer in utopian future, but are rather here and now.

Data Science and Machine Learning is the language of new intelligent machines – it lies at the intersection of mathematical algorithms, computer science and human logic.

This session will teach you advanced concepts of Machine Learning (ML) programs, Data Science routines, as well as techniques for designing new ML algorithms.

Data Scientists command the highest compensation in current and future scenarios. The reasons are clear. The new ML algorithms, and their applications, decide the destiny of MNCs and startups, and drive most new investment funding.

AI and ML are the new buzzwords for success ! Are you prepared for this new world?

R Basics and Code Walkthrough of a Data Visualization Example hosted by BHIVE Workspace

RSVP here 

Summary
This talk-cum-demo will start by introducing the basics of R. While R is popular with statisticians and data scientists, we’ll focus instead on data visualization, for which R is really powerful. We’ll look at all three plotting systems in R but the main focus of the code walkthrough will be ggplot. Instead of showing textbook examples, the code walkthrough will use real-world data. This session will be great for those who are looking for a powerful data visualization tool. It’s also for those who want to get started in data science without being scared upfront by mathematical models and theory! There are no prerequisites for this talk except that you should have some programming background in any language.
R Basics and Code Walkthrough of a Data Visualization Example
Basics of R (45 mins)

Whats it all about ?

Brief: Ever wondered what’s the right answer to your questions or the right solutions to your problems? Ever wondered why no one in any classroom session can give them to you? Well, the answer is simple: because they are right there in your head!

Business is not something one can teach. Business is something that one learns from experience. But of course, you can’t go about setting up businesses linearly and gaining experiences to fuel your wisdom, now can you? A better way is to learn from those who have that kind of experience – experiences of success and even failures.

We bring a real-life case study for you to analyze, discuss with your peers and determine, for and by yourself, the right way to do things. Case-based learning has been used in MBA programs for decades, but it’s perhaps the first time someone has brought that method to entrepreneurial education.

JUNE 7 : Mastering the sales mindset?  With Gopal Gera. 4-6pm

Learn the art of sales from the Expert on 7th June @BHIVE Residency Road  Startups in the B2B businesses are struggling to go beyond their first POC or first few clients.
The sales process is either never established and if it is, the sales team is unskilled to execute or both issues .

This is a series of meetups with covering various aspects of the sales process. The meetups are a practical & practitioner approach to sales. The entire series is aimed at equipping members to master the sales process.
The methodology is understanding core concepts, build in the meetup, apply in the market for a week, review feedback, learn a new concept, & repeat. Additionally, one could leverage the SaleS AddA sales community to learn, share and build on your network

Most founders understand that selling is the key to success. It’s important that founders sell before onboarding professionals .
The first challenge for most founders & rookies is the fear or mind block for “Selling / Sales”. Break this NOW!! Or it could mean days, months or sometimes years of not achieving full potential if one has not already failed .
Know your expert:
Gopal is sales leader, entrepreneur, & sales consultant. With over 15 years of sales experience, he has worked through the ranks of a rookie sales executive to leadership positions in the largest private financial institutions. Click to watch is sales video

————-
1. What is “Sales 4 StartupS & RookieS”
Sales adda as a community attracted quite a few startups – that includes founders, sales heads, and a few times entire sales teams
The conversation for startups are different from the ones that one has sales professionals from more established organizations
2. What is the conversation?
Startups in the B2B businesses are struggling to go beyond their first POC or first few clients. The sales process is either never established and if it is, the sales team is unskilled to execute or both
The topics of conversation include, I am not a sales person I am scared to sell, I have a great product – Why are they not buying?, I don’t understand buyers?, How to make a cold call?, How to write an email?, How to negotiate?, How to close a sale? And so on
3. So who should attend?
Entrepreneurs
Founders
Sales teams from startup
Rookies 0 – 3 years of sales experience
4. Why Rookies?
Most startups we have encountered are founded by professionals from technology, operations and even finance. Most do not have any kind of exposure to selling and lack the basic selling skills like cold calling, emails, qualifying leads, meeting and so on.
Similar if not the same set of issues plague those entering the sales profession or wish to take up a sales profession. Any body with 0 – 3 years experience in sales
Therefore rookies
5. What is my take away? Information is available online, why should i invest time & $$?
Information about sales can be easily compiled online, the key to success is not information but execution. The series of meet-ups are designed to introduce concept, better understand the nuances of execution, short cuts, case discussions, role plays, and sharing / learn with or from a peer group. This kind of exercise best done offline in a group
The key though is “learn concept -> apply in market -> feedback next week -> relearn -> new topic -> apply in market -> cycle begins
5. Is this sales training?
No & yes
No, this is not a full fledged training program as one would conduct in a corporate environment. This is a meet-up with a bunch of peers with the intent of learning and sharing
These are a series of events that span across few weeks. One can pick and choose.
Yes, because the series of topics that are organized to complete a full sales cycle from cold calling to closure. If one attends all the meet-ups in a cycle, one has more covered the topics in a typical training program
7. Why every week?
Typical sales trainings are one or two days events. A whole lot of information is crammed in a short period. From experience of attending quite a few sales trainings and work shops, this is not an ideal format for startups & rookies
Sales is about execution. Learn a concept / skill, execute in the market, observe the feedback, share with peers, learn, modify learning and repeat. A significant part of the learning is share with peers, take their feedback and learn from them
8. What is this program not?
It’s not a “Go to Market” (GoM) strategy session. One assumes there’s a GoM in place

This proven system helps cut the fat, waste, and mystery out of advertising and empowers you to create compelling marketing engagement.

What you’ll learn:

1. Target-Marketing techniques that’ll allow you to attract abundant customers and clients and while you are sleeping!!!

2. A new, breakthrough approach to ATTRACTING top-quality prospective clients or customers to you… even if they are usually resistant to normal advertising, marketing or prospecting

3. How to create Brand people will love without being an expert at it. Know the secrets about.

4. How NOT to fall into the trap of working with “anybody you can get.” This is what most businesses do; therefore, they FAIL to determine how to weight their resources and their time and energy into developing these buyers into long-term customers.

Now’s the time to motivate quality prospects and customers to come to you, choose you, trust you and buy from you.

Series 1 Ep 4: Crafting your elevator pitch You’ve just bumped into a former client at the airport. After exchanging pleasantries, he asks you what your new company does. You open your mouth, and then pause. Where on earth do you start?

An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that you can use to spark interest in what your organization does. You can also use one to create interest in a project, idea, or product.

Episode 4 of SaleS4StartupS will help you craft a compelling elevator pitch for you and your business by taking you through the elements that help put it together.

1. What is “Sales 4StartupS”
Sales adda as a community attracted quite a few startups – that includes founders, sales heads, and a few times entire sales teams

The conversation for startups are different from the ones that one has sales professionals from more established organizations

2. What is the conversation?
Startups in the B2B businesses are struggling to go beyond their first POC or first few clients. The sales process is either never established and if it is, the sales team is unskilled to execute or both

The topics of conversation include, I am not a sales person I am scared to sell, I have a great product – Why are they not buying?, I don’t understand buyers?, How to make a cold call?, How to write an email?, How to negotiate?, How to close a sale? And so on

3. So who should attend?
Entrepreneurs

Founders

Sales teams from startup

Rookies 0 – 3 years of sales experience

4. Why Rookies?
Most startups we have encountered are founded by professionals from technology, operations and even finance. Most do not have any kind of exposure to selling and lack the basic selling skills like cold calling, emails, qualifying leads, meeting and so on.

Similar if not the same set of issues plague those entering the sales profession or wish to take up a sales profession. Any body with 0 – 3 years experience in sales

Therefore rookies

5. What is my take away? Information is available online, why should i invest time & $$?
Information about sales can be easily compiled online, the key to success is not information but execution. The series of meet-ups are designed to introduce concept, better understand the nuances of execution, short cuts, case discussions, role plays, and sharing / learn with or from a peer group. This kind of exercise best done offline in a group

The key though is “learn concept -> apply in market -> feedback next week -> relearn -> new topic -> apply in market -> cycle begins

5. Is this sales training?
No & yes

No, this is not a full fledged training program as one would conduct in a corporate environment. This is a meet-up with a bunch of peers with the intent of learning and sharing

These are a series of events that span across few weeks. One can pick and choose.

Yes, because the series of topics that are organized to complete a full sales cycle from cold calling to closure. If one attends all the meet-ups in a cycle, one has more covered the topics in a typical training program

7. Why every week?
Typical sales trainings are one or two days events. A whole lot of information is crammed in a short period. From experience of attending quite a few sales trainings and work shops, this is not an ideal format for startups & rookies

Sales is about execution. Learn a concept / skill, execute in the market, observe the feedback, share with peers, learn, modify learning and repeat. A significant part of the learning is share with peers, take their feedback and learn from them

8. What is this program not?
It’s not a “Go to Market” (GoM) strategy session. One assume there’s a GoM in place

Engage with the experts on 28th June.

Learn from the experts about Python on 28th June.

So, you’ve been programming in Python for sometime but are not sure if you’re using the language correctly. Programmers coming from C, Java or perl might use Python in less efficient ways that how it’s meant to be used. This talk will help you iron out those wrinkles and make you a better Python programmer.

We will show some pitfalls and then share best practices for programming in Python.

This talk is for beginners and intermediate Python programmers. It’s not ideal for someone completely new to Python but you can probably pick up a few things to get started in Python.

Hello Bangalore,

Swift India Developer Community is organizing it’s first Bangalore chapter on this 15th of July 2017. This meet-up will happen at Bhive Co-Working space in residency road. We have got three amazing speakers for the meet-up.

——————————————————————————————————————–

Speaker 1

Topic: Swifty Persistence with GRDB

Abstract: There’re hundreds of ways to persist data on Apple’s platforms. These days, the most popular are probably CoreData and Realm. However, they don’t play particularly well with Swift and rely on “black magic” to work. They also often do way more than many apps need, but you always pay the cost in terms of complexity. GRDB is a thin Swifty wrapper over SQLite, which embraces SQLite. This talk goes into what GRDB is, a few ways to use it, and reasons to prefer it over CoreData, Realm, etc.

Bio: Gopal is a Technical Architect at Surya. Previously, he was an engineer on Apple’s iCloud team. He has been working with Swift since it was announced in 2014. His first interactions with iOS were in 2009 when he was a student at the University of Michigan in the CS program. He blogs occasionally athttp://gopalkri.com, and tweets fromhttps://twitter.com/gopalkri.

Speaker 2

Topic: Protocols and Swift

Abstract: Most modern languages have a way to deal with this problem. In Objective-C — and indeed, in Swift — we call them protocols. As a concept, protocols are like contracts. If a type conforms to a protocol, it has essentially signed a contract to implement the methods specified in that protocol. Let’s visit a unique problem of the two pure Swift types that want to talk to each other, we can use protocols so that they remain blissfully unaware of one another. All they care about is the protocol. Let’s look at a concrete, incredibly pedagogical example.

Bio: Deepak is a Tech Lead at IBM MobileFirst for iOS Garage. He has been working with Swift since 2014 developing Enterprise Apps for the Travel n Transport Domain. He’s working on Swift when he isn’t trekking, reading or dancing to popular Bollywood dance numbers. He is @deepakao on Twitter.
