From Robotics Engineer to Visionary Founder
Hello everyone, we're thrilled to share with you a fascinating conversation we had with Parthiban, a individual that's becoming increasingly synonymous with innovation and student empowerment. As a robotics engineer turned entrepreneur, Parthiban has carved a unique path for himself, founding two groundbreaking startups: KreatIn and Myunichums. His story is not just about technological prowess but also about a deep-seated desire to make a difference in the lives of students across the globe.
The Genesis of KreatIn and Myunichums
His journey into the entrepreneurial landscape was sparked by a passion for technology and learning. This interest laid the foundation for KreatIn, a creative agency that began with humble beginnings, focusing on video editing for our YouTube channel. It wasn't long before KreatIn expanded horizons, offering digital marketing services to local businesses. The inspiration behind KreatIn was simple yet profound: to harness the power of creativity and technology to help brands grow.
But the vision extended beyond the corporate world. Parthiban wanted to address a pressing issue, that many students faced – the lack of transparency and support in studying abroad. This led to the birth of Myunichums, a platform dedicated to elevating students' lives by providing them with the resources and mentorship they need to navigate the complex process of pursuing education all over the globe.
Breaking New Ground with Myunichums
The milestones and achievements of Myunichums have been nothing short of remarkable. The beta website launch was a resounding success, attracting 500 users and 27 premium service subscribers within the first month alone. The platform's mission is to offer a service where students can access educational resources and connect with mentors from top universities around the world.
Myunichums commitment goes beyond just providing services. They're driven by a sense of social responsibility, aiming to support socio-economically disadvantaged children through education. It's not just about building a business; it's about building a better future for the next generation.
Overcoming Challenges and Supporting Students Abroad
One of the biggest challenges Indian students face when studying abroad is finding part-time jobs to cover living expenses. Myunichums addresses this by creating a community where students can connect with mentors, access information about universities and scholarships, and find guidance on navigating their new environment. Parthiban has also launched a research intern program to engage the student community and provide affordable services.
The Art of Naming and the Power of SEO
Choosing the right name for your business is crucial, and it's something Parthiban took very seriously. KreatIn and Myunichums were carefully selected not just for their catchiness but also for their SEO potential. Unfortunately, the existance of Creatine has somewhat hindered KreatIn, however the choice is a strategic one that has largely paid off, making these platforms more discoverable and accessible to the target audience.
The Entrepreneurial Mindset: Sacrifice, Dedication, and Obsession
Entrepreneurship is not for the faint-hearted. It requires sacrifice, dedication, and an unwavering mindset. Many entrepreneurs have learned that to succeed, you need to be obsessed with your vision. It's this obsession that has allowed Parthiban to integrate learning and skill development into his daily life, leading to the creation of successful startups.
Our guest encourages young entrepreneurs to start early and chase their dreams with clarity and determination. Remember, "obsession beats talent." It's not just about having the skills; it's about being passionate enough to keep pushing forward, no matter what.
A Testament to Passion and Hard Work
Parthiban's journey is a testament to the power of passion, obsession, and hard work. During the lockdown, he learnt animation out of boredom, and his love for gaming helped Parthiban to pick up new skills quickly. Freelancing also taught the value of earning money independently, and impressed upon our guest how learning small skills can open doors to entrepreneurial success.
Gratitude and Looking Forward
As we wrapped up our conversation, we couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the insights Parthiban shared. His journey is a beacon of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs, showcasing the impact of a diverse skill set and relentless pursuit of learning.
As we bid farewell, we exchanged well wishes for the festive season, ending our episode on a note of warmth and positivity. Parthiban's story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset and a commitment to learning, anyone can turn their vision into reality.
Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey, and we hope you've found inspiration and practical advice in Parthiban's entrepreneurial experiences. Here's to chasing our dreams and making a difference in the world!
