TVF Pitchers

Everyone was aiming for the eye of the fish,

but the guy who hit the bullseye,

was the founder of Apha1, Mehta.

And that's how Maharashtra offline princess

KC Enterprises, finally tied the knot.

We need to wait and watch,

where the princes of undersized kingdoms like Pragati will aim for now.

What will be their next target now?

Who the fuck is this Startup Kumar.

Since I mentioned don't write dickhead,

he keeps writing dickhead when I come online.

We should have seen this coming.

But we didn't.

The founders should have seen it.

But this is backstabbing.

How would they know?

And this idiot Pappi bought an extra cake.

It was for everyone, to celebrate.

Can deals be cancelled like this?

Pappi, all this is very common.

It happens. If we couldn't crack this one, we'll partner with someone else.

So what?

The guys must be planning something big.

Not to worry.

Yogi didn't tell us anything.

I'll go ask him.

I'll come too.

Jeetu sir's deal--

You're not supposed to talk about the CEO.

You'll get us in trouble, Pappi.

Five million was already locked.

Why did VC cancel that?

We were the ones who unlocked it.

Don't tell brother anything.

That's the third mail from Prachi.

Asking when are we meeting.

Did you ask Naveen?

He hasn't been answering my calls for two days.

That's why I told him not to move out.

You can't get mad at your roommate if your girlfriend dumped you.

A sensitive guy should not live alone.

That's why I moved in with you.

Yes, brother. Are you here?

We're coming.

So Elon Musk...

Jeff Bezos...

So you finally bought the SUV.

-Touch screen, four-ways AC. -Sunroof.

Yeah.

Yogi, how is it?

Big.

This isn't what you call big.

It's going to look timid compared to a private jet.

That's what you guys are gonna buy, when you release your IPO.

IPO.

See this...

Perks of having a job.

Right, screw me.

We employees keep running between salary and bonus.

You startup guys are changing the world.

No, brother.

Don't call me brother, Yogi.

You are older than me.

By the way, congratulations.

Mandal was saying you are going to have a baby.

When did I tell you?

-I did. -Oh, yes.

-Yeah. -Actually, even my friends call me Mandal.

Yeah, so...

But everyone's invited to the baby's naming ceremony.

Tell Jeetu and Naveen they are invited too.

I want all four friends there. It's a family affair.

What was the name of Naveen's cute girlfriend?

-Shreya. -Shall we invite her too?

-Where is she nowadays? -What are you saying, brother?

I told you...

You are going to be a father, learn to behave.

But I am just another guy around you.

-Let's go booze. -No, no...

I am not asking, I am telling you.

It's been a long time.

Your sister-in-law has made this state a dry state.

Open the sunroof.

It's the moonroof at night, Yogi. Okay?

Mandal.

I really bonded with your brother today.

-That-- -He's a cool guy.

When you win after you've lost is a 'Baazigar' (Player)!

What do you call a person who's lost a winning game.

Founder.

No, no, no. Co-founder.

Yeah, co-founder.

Oh, God!

Yogi and Mandal's house is being ransacked.

You?

What happened?

I still have a key.

PIVOT?

2.0?

Yes.

So that's what Pragati 2.0 is going to look like.

Seriously? Product change?

Isn't that a desperate move, guys?

Are you guys sure about it?

-Yeah. Absolutely. -Yes.

Yeah...

We just need to figure out little things. But mostly we are good.

Don't worry, Prachi.

From Nokia to Starbucks, all these big companies were made by pivoting.

And according to a survey, 13% of startup

fails if they don't pivot at the right time.

And according to that survey, 25% of startups shutdown

because of a pivot gone wrong.

You are trying to convince us and yourself,

that we should do this.

But... I think it's right to say that we don't have a choice.

Yes, but what's wrong with it?

Have you heard about Odeo?

The cream biscuit.

Odeo. ODEO.

It was a podcast-sharing website.

But they suffered a setback like us when iTunes was launched.

And even they had to pivot.

Now we all have Odeo on our phones.

Called Twitter.

-Have you heard of Bourbon? -The cream biscuit?

It was a check-in app,

which pivoted to a photo-sharing app.

That's the first thing we check every morning we get up.

Instagram.

Everyone pivots.

Milkbikis.

Did they pivot too?

No. It's still a biscuit.

Guys.

Look, I think you want to believe that I am naive,

but I am not.

I know what you guys are doing.

After the series-A was cancelled, you guys reached a dead end.

You are trying to correct your course, and I understand.

But if you're going to use my fuel,

to find yourself a different route,

get a driver first.

You guys want to pivot,

get a CTO first.

Yes.

Yes, I mean... yes.

Prachi, we don't have a tech head, but we have a tech team.

-We will manage. -You don't have to manage.

Every team needs a captain.

Name one company that pivoted without a tech head.

Yes.

Yes...

I'm meeting with the partners in three days.

Get yourself a CTO,

I will convince them that we need to pivot.

Three days?

How will we find a CTO in three days, Prachi?

Rohan, please tell them how much runway they have?

About 90 days.

It's not three days, it's 3.33 % of your entire battery life.

It is what it is guys.

I want to help you, but you have to help yourself first.

Next meeting.

Shall we?

Thank you.

All the best, guys.

Okay.

Do you want to come for a smoke?

No.

Since when did you start smoking so much.

I wasn't even a smoker.

Jeetu was.

He needed company.

He's gone, and now I am addicted.

It's been six months.

I think you should drop old habits, and get yourself some new ones.

Hiring someone for a post like this,

is nothing short of a wedding.

Like we have to find a bride,

check if she suits you, then arrange a meeting.

Then she has to like you. Convince her to marry you.

And we've no clue who she is or where.

Hey... he sent a mail invite.

Meeting Pragati co-founders with CTO in three days.

-Are you serious? -Issue number 13.

Finding the CTO in three days.

Where was your list of issues when we were discussing this the past two days?

I was posting it on the group, but you guys weren't taking it seriously.

What else can we do, Mandal? Shut down the company?

Did I say that?

I never said that. What is he saying?

Listen bro, either we go down,

or we change the company's direction.

It's very simple.

If you know a third way, then speak now. We can try that.

-Oh, man... -Let's do it, bro.

Change is the only constant. Let's do it, okay.

Let's tell HR to put up a post for walk-in interviews.
