#39 - One Startup is fixing 1,400 stores the other may just fix Indian Sports : Nitin Ravi
What does it take to build a career that truly aligns with your passions? In this
conversation, Dipaq sits down with Nitin Ravi, Director at SaaS company Pazo,
whose journey is a masterclass in exactly that. From his start in engineering to the
early days at Byju's, and from launching startups to his current mission to
revolutionize retail tech, Nitin’s story is packed with insights for anyone looking to
build, grow, and lead.
We get a behind-the-scenes look at one of the biggest trends in business: why
direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands are rushing to open physical stores and what it
takes to create an "experience" that wins. Nitin also breaks down the genius of
Decathlon's business model and shares the heartfelt mission behind his own
passion project, Khel India, an initiative to champion India's less-appreciated
sports.
This episode is for creatives, entrepreneurs, marketers, and sports lovers
curious about where business is headed next.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Nitin's career journey from engineering to EdTech (Byju's) and SaaS leadership.
- The core problem Pazo is solving for retailers and how it brings "method to the madness" in operations.
- Why successful D2C brands are now heavily investing in offline "experience centers".
- A deep dive into Decathlon's success: affordability, in-store experience, and knowledgeable staff. The mission behind Khel India: to create awareness for underappreciated sports in the country.
- The power and potential of India's growing sports ecosystem, from the grassroots to the professional level.
- An inspiring conversation on how pursuing what you love can shape a fulfilling life and career.
