We're slowly realizing that almost everything on the internet is hacked! The profiles that you create, the websites that you visit, the credit cards that you use, the pictures that you post, the messages that you send - everything is DATA, and DATA is being traded. In web2, you don't truly own your identity. The platforms do. And, you're always vulnerable to your data getting sold, your privacy getting invaded, etc. So what's the way out to 'truly' own & secure your identity in this virtual space? Web2 didn't have the answer. Web3 has! With web3, owning your identity is very much possible. That's what Unstoppable Domains is doing for the users. In this video podcast, Bimlesh Gundurao (Co-Founder, Foundership) catches up with Nilkanth Iyer (Head of Asia, Unstoppable Domains) and dives deep into conversation about privacy, security, and owning your digital identity in web3. If you're stepping into the web3 space or have started using dApps & web3 products, you shouldn't miss this conversation. #dataprivacy #digitalidentity #web3 #blockchain ------------------------------------------------------------------

PITCHCAMP.in Presents "Sales for Entrepreneurs" Series, where we bring on Founders to share their Sales Journey. Host - Speaker - Ankit Dudhwewala runs Appitsimple Infotek- a company that builds and runs digital products. He started with SoftwareSuggest in Jan 2014. Had no experience in internet product so decided to enter an untouched market. Competing with larger companies would have meant death. India had a policy platform- Policybazaar, Car Platform- Car Dekho, a restaurant platform- Zomato. However, it did not have a software & IT vendor discovery platform. So he decided to start SoftwareSuggest. It was a low risk. Had higher chances of success. Today SoftwareSuggest is a popular software & IT discovery platform. In June 2017, he launched our second product CallHippo - a SaaS-based VOIP product. For 2.5 years our team had been marketing products for other software companies. He wanted to do it for our own IP. Hence, he created CallHippo. CallHippo is one of the fastest-growing global SaaS from India. As Appitsimple grows older - We will build, acquire and invest in other global digital product based out of India. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/web3verse/message
