Starting a Business is one of the biggest challenges any entrepreneur will face. There are many questions to answer at the very beginning when starting a business, but the most difficult one is the question of what exactly you want to do. About Manish Maryada I am Manish Maryada, Founder, and CEO of Fello-an EF and Y Combinator-backed company. I have been associated with the fintech ecosystem for over 6+ years and helped in scaling early-stage startups like Koinex and Flobiz across Product, Strategy, and Operations.

Post-Koinex and Flobiz, I have been one of the Founders in Residence of EF-Bangalore 4th Cohort where I started to build Fello in 2021. My fintech expertise is complemented by a Master's Degree in Finance from Texas A&M University College Station. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tbcy/support
