The Hindu Business Line quotes Contus founder Sriram’s insights on startup funding

Inspiring and being inspired is a part of every IT professional’s daily routine and Sriram Manoharan, co-founder & CBDO of Contus, a SMAC Company, is no exception to it.

Being a seasoned campaigner in the field of Information Technology for more than 11 years and garnering entrepreneurial experience in building Contus made Sriram the perfect choice to play the speaker in the startup event organized by The Indus Entrepreneurs. The event had professionals from budding startups of the city to IT aspirants as its attendees.

Steering Contus as a self-funded venture right from day one until now, Sriram Manoharan said, “Many companies start looking for funding right from initial stages and do not generate profit.”

As the best piece of advice to upcoming entrepreneurs Sriram said, “Keep cash flows coming in through your idea before getting validated by venture capitalists.”

Rajesh Nahar, CEO and co-founder of fashion brand Cbazaar.com was yet another speaker who concluded the event giving away his share of ideas for the participants.
