What has been the biggest accomplishment this year?
The Team.
Our revenue has grown more than 2x, our profits have grown 5x, Daily Active Users have grown 2.5x but this is not the story of this year.
2016-17 is when we built our team. We aren't funded. We can't attract talent by offering attractive salaries. We aren't even in the most exciting start-up sector on the planet. Yet, we have an outstanding team of young professionals.
It is funny how one feels when you finally have a strong team. Just about everything seems achievable. No challenge feels insurmountable. I say this not out of emotion but because of a quiet confidence built over time in this team.
The most satisfying experience for me has been to see so many of my colleagues grow in the last 12-18 months. It gives me immense joy to see what they are able to do now as compared to when they just joined us. More importantly, I learn so much more everyday from each one of them. We have also moved into a new office which I don't like getting out of!
I am not a visionary. I consider myself a man of average intellect. Fortunately, I have never let my limitations come in the way of my ambition. This year we are going to go all in.
We are relaunching Konversations.com. We are going to give free early access to a small set of highly active users on InsideIIM.com. As is customary every year, we will also launch the new avatar of InsideIIM.com in June. But I need your help before that. Please give us 2 minutes of your life and give some feedback. It will help us improve. We will also reward all serious feedback with an early access invite for the new Konversations.com.
