As she walks into a room full of serious Women Entrepreneurs, you would usually assume her to be just one more college kid trying to be an entrepreneur. But she is different. Ayushi, is the brain and the face behind Helpingo. As Ayushi describes herself, “ I am an engineer by profession, a designer by choice and an entrepreneur by passion. She loves to live her life as ‘experiences’ and running a business has been one of her biggest experiences.
Back in 2012, after completing her graduation she moved to Bangalore to work with Cisco. But her knack to work at small exciting places pushed her to quit her job. It was post her stint in Myntra, that she took the plunge into the startup world.
Helpingo was promoted in the year 2016. It is a platform that simplifies management and collaboration for educational institutions. Ayushi dreams to make an ubiquitous education management and collaboration tool for students, teachers and admin within college campuses, thus building a self-sustainable venture.
WE Can India has been an exciting and a meaningful journey for Ayushi. In her words “I started with a product half baked and have reached the stage of cracking my first paying customer. Everything happened while I was in the WE Can India program.” Her mentor, an expert in the IT field helped her see the entire business from a fresh perspective and challenged the basic fundamentals of her business, which helped Ayushi concretize the business.
Ayushi feels there is a long journey ahead and she is prepared to give it all. Amidst figuring out the right product-market fit, go-to-market strategies and pricing plans; Ayushi is still that vivacious girl, who is struggling and learning how to make her way out to go about building a successful business.
