SRX P6 | Pranav Srinivasan | Compete Only with Yourself not Others | Stories of humans behind robots

Описание: Supriya Rathi, a Robotics Influencer in conversation with Pranav Srinivasan, Co-Founder & Director Accio Robotics, who are developing groundbreaking robotics system that are set to transform how businesses manage order-picking in their warehouses.

If you’re building in robotics and seeking funding, it’s not just about your robot - it’s about who you are and the size of the opportunity. Investors assess - strong co-founders, good relationships with your team, some experience and execution history. They also want to understand your total addressable market(TAM), which shows the company's expansion & money-making potential, and its long-term impact. VCs(Venture Capital) ultimately back founders - they will bet on you, rather than your company or your current product.

I had a great chat with this robotics founder, where we understood how growing up in a school with no-grade system, shaped him to an outlook - that his only competition is with the previous version of himself. Today, those principles and values drives how he runs his own company and his personal growth alongside. Each growth phase, every few months, demands a mindset shift - a new way of thinking from conservative spending to strategic investment, from operating alone to forming partnerships, and from simply hiring employees to developing good relationships with them.
