Hi, I'm Haris. I'm the CTO of cloodot.com. You can call it a central hub for customer experience for SMB's.
We started with another B2C idea in the automobile industry, we met with a number of customers learned from them that customer experience was a big part of small
business sales. We pivoted to a B2B product centered on customer experience.
Cloodot—a company we’ve taken from the Small Enfield dealer in 2019 to one of the fastest growing CX companies in India. We started as a reviews company, but that was just the beginning. Now Cloodot is leading the charge to modernize the way business happens locally—powering everything from reviews to messaging and insights.
We started out with the idea from our experience and discussions with our customers from our failed startup and we learned actual problems in the automotive industry , then we moved on to building an MVP.
We acquired our First major customer in the automobile industry. This was Indus Motors and Indus Go. We onboarded 200+ locations on to our product. Our platform grew more customers in the coming months, also in the automobile industry.
We struggled with access to third party API's, many of which were private. But we have access to those API's now, with Instagram DM API pending.
I usually work for 8 hours. sometimes more when it is required. I start early and after breakfast, we have meeting to discuss todays agenda and the work to be
done, which we will out inside notion.
After a days work we hold a meeting again and review our progress in terms of sales and engineering.
We hold weekly in person sessions to discuss our plans for the next cycle.
Our Biggest achievement to date is onboarding and convincing our first customer to our platform with in first week of our MVP launch.
