How important is social media in promoting startups and helping them acquire customers to build a stellar brand?

Social Media is the most important tool in promoting startups and acquiring new customers to build a stellar brand.

Despite continual support from the government, what are some of the challenges faced by startups in India?

The world of startups is still fragmented. Though the government has made genuine efforts to support startups, the sheer numbers of startups that have germinated make the results of those efforts far-fetched. Also, the governments’ focus remains on product-based startups and not services-based Startups. The 3 Major challenges faced by Startups include:

  1. Availability of Funds
  2. Building Trust
  3. Attracting Talent

Tell us about your future plans for Taasha.

We plan to foray into niche areas like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and make these technologies available to common technology consumers. We want these technologies to be used by all. We also want to remove the hype associated with most new technologies.

Why did you choose a .TECH domain name? How is it helping you develop a unique online brand?

Our company name has the word ‘Technologies’, so a “.TECH” name perfectly reflects who we are – a technology company. Also a .TECH domain name was different and smart (both qualities reflected us). It also easily catches attention. So, it was an easy and obvious choice to select a .TECH domain.
