In the seventh episode of "The Branding Circle by Ankit Majethia," we have a meaningful conversation with Payal Jain, Founder & CEO of Funngro. While most of us are familiar with the term 'freelancers,' Funngro is the first to coin the concept of 'teenlancers.' We explore how her platform is empowering teenagers to become better individuals and leaders.
We also discuss how Funngro is playing a key role in nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs in India. Starting with just 1,000 teenlancers, Funngro has grown exponentially and now is a community of over 3 million.
During this episode, Payal shares her journey, from starting her career as a teenager, transitioning into an employee, balancing her role as a mother, and eventually becoming a CEO.
Our conversation further proceeded dissecting her Shark Tank experience, the challenges she faced, and how to build a successful & relatable brand.
