Productifying Construction | Powerplay

Here’s a thought experiment. A young college student asks you to design a path to help her learn the skills she needs to be a successful entrepreneur.

The best path possible for someone like her would probably be the path that Iesh Dixit took.

Iesh is an IITian who started his venture while still in college, and after failing to scale it up for 2 years, joined a startup that had raised funds and scaled in that space.

This ensured a steep learning curve for him as he had already tasted a lack of success and that prepared him to quickly learn and accept the lessons from a more established founder.

2 years after this he quit and started Powerplay - and made use of all his lessons to create something that would truly scale and become a large profitable business.

Powerplay is a Bengaluru-based innovative SaaS startup revolutionizing construction management by helping construction companies optimize their workflow.

The platform streamlines communication among speciality contractors, general contractors, and builders, offering a single solution to efficiently manage site work, materials, and labour.

In our conversation, Iesh shares his lessons from both failure and success and gives some truly useful advice to founders seeking to scale up!
