Mokobara was rejected 33 times.

And now they’ll beat legacy brands in their own game within the next 6 years. Something the biggest brands took 44 years to do!

That’s the thing about great entrepreneurs. They don’t give up.

In this episode, we are joined by three of Shantanu’s close friends. Sangeet Agrawal, Founder at Mokobara, Navin Parwal, Co-Founder & CMO at Mokobara, and Manu Chandra, Founder and Managing Partner at Sauce.vc came together to uncover the power of aspirational hungry India. Mokobara is clearly on a mission to redefine travel for India, designing luggage that feels world-class.

But with ambition comes scrutiny and there's a lot one can learn about effective crisis management from Mokobara founders.

Major takeaways from the episode:
Sangeet and Navin finally address their PR controversy most candidly.
How fast Mokobara grew in 6 years, something Safari took 44 years to do.
