ACLR8 Founder Academy

Building a large business, while reviving a cultural legacy, and providing social impact.❤️ Raising funding from some of India’s top investors, getting an all Shark Deal at Shark Tank India and all of this while just being 24 years old! 🙌 🚀⁣

Hosted the super amazing Aditya Agrawal, Co-Founder, P-TAL, on how founders can use story telling to build large consumer brands and stand out! 🇮🇳⁣

The kitchen and dining market in India is worth 30K crores and majority of the market is fragmented with larger brands doing about 5K crores in revenue. 💯⁣

There is lack of trust, lack of awareness and lack of quality products - which means a massive opportunity to build a large brand in this space. 🙌 🚀⁣

Super excited to share more about Aditya and P-TAL’s journey on how they are looking to build a large brand and revive India’s only UNESCO listed art form. ❤️⁣
