 Give a brief info about your startup?

Pyplyn is an one-stop-shop for all your branding, technical and marketing related needs. With all the hustle and bustle going on during the day, it’s easy to veer off track. Sometimes, all it takes is a little help from a professional to put you on the right path. We work so that you can realize your dream of taking your business to the next level.

What made you start your startup and what problem does it solve?

Pyplyn was incorporated in August 2016. We, the founders, Anurag Agrawal and Soham Basak carry substantial experience in the field of Digital Marketing and Technology respectively, apart from being college friends. After having worked in the corporate world for close to 6 years, they felt the need to help businesses build an online identity. This segment is very crowded and unorganized. Hence Pyplyn was formed with intention of addressing all the digital needs of a business under one roof. We believe everything can be sold as long as we are telling the correct story for selling it.

As a startup founder, what are you paranoid about? What keeps you awake at night?

Paranoia something which you experience when you’re not in control of things. When you get paranoid you tend to harbour a lot of negative energy. We do not believe in fearing the outcome.

We believe in getting things done. It’s not our thoughts but or work that keeps us awake at night.

Who are your competitions and how are you better than them?

Tell us how a day in your life looks like? Your schedule for a day right from the time you get up till you hit the bed at night.

My day usually starts right around 9:30 am in the morning. I catch up on the day’s news and actionable and get into a call with my co-founder to discuss our to-do items for the day. I reach my office around 11 AM and jump into meetings/calls with our clients. These meetings/calls continue till 8 PM. Post that I have a sit down with my core team and understand the challenges that they are facing.  I try to help my core team overcome their obstacles. This goes on until 10:00 pm. Post which I go home and have dinner. At around 11:00 pm I get a call with my co-founder which generally lasts for 2 hours. After this, I start researching about new techniques in marketing and try my hand at implementing them. While I am at it I generally doze off around 5:00 am. That’s my typical day.

Tell us about your team and how did you meet each other?

I met my co-founder, Soham on 23 July 2007, that was my first day of engineering at SRM University. We have been together ever since and there has been no looking back.
