Building a social network with Sairee Chahal, CEO of SHEROES

Use Case

What would have happened if Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Sairee Chahal had decided to get the license for starting Facebook in India back when it was just a college network? We wouldn’t have had two of India’s most successful startups - Paytm and Sheroes.

Sairee Chahal is one of the kindest, most accomplished and successful founders who has managed to build a women’s only social network in India, Sheroes which boasts of over 15 million users. In this episode, she lays out the principles of building a social network - what goes into running one and why she’s not a fan of men boasting of their cooking adventures during the lockdown as an accomplishment on Twitter.

You could listen to the episode on the audio file above or on your favourite podcast app. As a founder, if you would like to get some feedback on your business idea or have questions from the podcast and would like to connect with Sairee - please fill out this short form and we’ll try to make that happen.
