Finding your Unicron / by Aanarav Sareen

We are all unreasonable people, and progress depends on us changing the world to fit us, not the other way around. 

Nearly 4 years ago, we set off on a journey to change online commerce - the largest driving force of the digital era. 

Still in its infancy across the world, we’ve seen incredible progress - ranging from cars that arrive at your doorstep within minutes from the push a button to cash that is transmitted via an app nearly instantaneously. 

We’ve been fortunate enough, lucky enough and crazy enough to build companies that have challenged incumbents, have gone up against well funded companies and still come out standing tall. 

To those who criticized us, thank you. You made us stronger. 

To those who rejected us, thank you. You made us work harder. 

To those who stood by our side, thank you. We do this for you. 

Startup life is not for everyone. I’ve almost quit so many times. And then I remember why I started any of it - to make a difference. In the world. In someone’s life. For us. 

We believe in crazy. 

We invest in risk. 

We challenge normal. 

It’s what drives us every day. It’s the reason we get out of bed. It’s why - despite the hardest of times - we smile our way out of it. 

To every startup founder out there - may you find your unicorn. May you continue to believe in yourself when no one else does. And I hope you continue to change the world - even if it is one person’s world.
