TEAMAND CULTURE
A place investors can trust
Value for a good work culture
Directors say
A PLACE INVESTORS CAN TRUST
Ambarish GuptaFounder & CEOKnowlarity Communications Pvt. Ltd.
David AltunkaynakJiteshu Godara
DirectorMakeSense Derivatives B.V.
Financially prudent, the team has
achieved a good balance between attracting
good talent and keeping personnel costs
in an acceptable range. This has enhanced
their ability to disseminate funds effectively
on the marketing and brand building front successfully.
India as an emerging startup hub is
interesting for foreign investors like me.
The team, highly talented and
motivated, came with a unique idea,
which got me hooked. Looking at how the
company evolved and idea is taking shape,
makes me very excited for the future.
India is at a stage where the middle and upper middle class is now moving in the
sphere of luxury and showcase. Historically,
the best way to show that has been the arts and
antiquities of the time. Going by the China story, Indian diaspora is ready to invest in such
premium market and Bidsvilla is well
positioned to capture the boom in such a
scenario
