I built my startup from 0 to 50 million visits every month. AMA!

Hi TIA Community!

I am Anisha Singh, founder and CEO at mydala.com, India’s largest coupon and discount marketing platform. My first professional stint was as a part of Clinton administration in Capitol Hill, helping women entrepreneurs raise funding for innovative women-led businesses. Inspired by the women I had a chance to work with, I began my own venture, mydala, in 2009.

The best part about being the CEO is that I get to be the ‘jack of all trades’ and do a bit of everything!

Today mydala has a presence in 209 cities with 200 million registered users and we are growing at a phenomenal pace.

Here are some ideas for you to start a conversation with me:

• Startup ecosystems: Helping startups grow
• Leading and building teams
• The Asian e-commerce industry
• Online to offline business model
• Investing in the Indian market
• Encouraging women entrepreneurship

Note from Vanessa, product and community manager at Tech in Asia:

Hey guys! We’ve previously covered Anisha on her entrepreneurial journey here (Thanks to our editor Malu for the awesome feature!). Her startup was going through a tough time back in 2011 when the interest in daily deals was going down. On top of the professional struggles, she had a new baby and a toddler to take care of on the personal front. It was tough but she couldn’t give up on her company:

I was a guilty mom, and a guilty CEO.

There are many lessons to be learned from Anisha, and we would love and encourage you to ask more questions in the comments below. Fire away!
