Building a Bootstrapped Unicorn from India: Rajesh Jain, Founder of Netcore Cloud (Part 7)

Sramana Mitra: If you study Adobe’s product strategy, it’s basically a MarTech rollout. You can do the MarTech rollout. Given where we are, if you focus on companies that have more of an AI nuance to really build a cutting edge MarTech AI rollout, I think you have a very interesting opportunity in front of you.

Rajesh Jain: There is one more dimension to this. Compared to AdTech, MarTech has sort of been the poor cousin. About $500 billion is being spent on AdTech for new customer acquisition and existing customer reacquisition. Half of that money is basically being wasted on wrong acquisitions and reacquisition.

Sramana Mitra: Can you double click down on your three acquisitions and talk a bit more about how you price these deals? If you’re using stock, then how do you price yourself and calculate how you price the valuations of these acquisitions? Talk about the philosophy and the mechanics of doing these deals as a bootstrapped company.

Sramana Mitra: So this is happening 2015 onwards?

Rajesh Jain: So 2015 onwards, we did the international story and the marketing automation stack. I think we made a mistake on the marketing automation side. Now when I look back in hindsight, I think we focused more on the web and missed out on the app revolution.
