About The BarberShop
The BarberShop was started with a clear thesis - India needs to create approximately a million jobs a month. Currently we create almost two hundred thousand - making it imperative to fix this deficit for optimum growth. Our ‘Funda’ as Shantanu calls it is to simplify entrepreneurship and make it accessible to everyone in the country so we instill an enterprising habit in the 23-24 year old of today. After the successful completion and reception of Season 1, we have decided to go beyond conversations on our podcast to tangible help. In this attempt we began our second edition: Raiser’s Edge. With the help of our sponsors at Bombay Shaving Company and Bombae, we have collated a season which brings together a corpus of 50+ equity seekers looking to support young start-ups in their growth and success.
