In this Greatest Hits episode of Getting to Aha!, Darshan Mehta revisits his conversation with Nikhil Jain, Co-Founder of Mealawe, to discuss three integral lessons learned during his entrepreneurial journey, the long-term benefits of curiosity, and the lengthy yet worthwhile process of finding new chefs and kitchens.
Nikhil Jain is the Co-Founder of Mealawe, a food delivery service that’s transforming the industry with fresh, delicious homemade meals. He also serves as Vice President of Rotaract and is the Founder of VIBRANCY. His previous roles include Channel Partner at Exampil Solutions, Founder of Sparkles Valley, and Marketing & Public Relations Specialist at PICT Entrepreneurship Development Cell.
KEY TAKEAWAYS 👉 Nikhil was profoundly impacted by the phrase, "The goal is to die with memories, not dreams." He aims not just to dream but to turn those dreams into lasting memories through action.
👉 His entrepreneurial journey has been filled with challenges, and the first lesson he learned was the importance of caution—never to trust anyone fully. It's crucial to be prepared legally and ethically for setbacks, ensuring that agreements and contracts are always signed as a safeguard for all parties involved.
👉 The second lesson emphasizes the need for thorough documentation. Keeping detailed records of plans and essential documents is vital; without them, clarity—the cornerstone of entrepreneurial success—can be lost.
👉 The third and most crucial lesson is the need for consistency and passion. Staying motivated and genuinely caring about your goals is essential, or you risk regretting your decisions as a business owner.
👉 Nikhil highlights curiosity as a significant asset in his career. It enabled him to discover how to make Mealawe a viable business and identify the market gap for his offerings.
👉 He notes that finding chefs for Mealawe is a lengthy process, as they must ensure all kitchens meet hygiene and safety standards. While time-consuming, these steps are essential to making the business a reality.
