Ahmedabad, June 29, 2024 -“I am India’s first Bicyle Mayor,” declares Nikita Lalwani, founder Crooz app, a cycling app for enthusiasts that is taking the fitness world by storm. “My Mission is to jolt and awaken the majority of Indians who are right now inactive, completely,” adds Nikita as she completes her three minute pitch with few seconds to share.
Nikita was presenting in in the fifth episode of Kal Ke Krorepati – Chhote Sheher Bade Sapne. For the most part of her presentation she had the investors sweating for more.
However, the second startup, Navin Kishore Singh intrigued the investors with his phygital startup Urban Nomads. “We were on a trip for eight months living in 45 different cities and realised that the entire co-live and co-work space is disintegrated and dysfunctional. We saw a great opportunity and grabbed it with both hands,” explains Navin.
The investors, while being impressed asked Navin to open the startup threadbare to understand the unit economics of the same.
“There is a huge opportunity in this new age business space and any good entrepreneur can encash this new trend of work place experiences in remote locations. The phygital part is more exciting as it gives depth,” says Saswat on Urban Nomads.
