While it feels like yesterday that we started, there have been lots of memorable moments in the journey. A while earlier, at our town hall, someone at Instamojo started asking everyone for their best moments here. That got me thinking, and here are 4 key moments that made a mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. Launching Appstore<\/span><\/h3>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We have always intended Instamojo to <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.instamojo.com\/introducing-instamojo-as-a-platform\/\">become a platform<\/a><\/span> that enables commerce for small businesses. Being a platform, we seek to enable businesses and developers to leverage Instamojo and grow the ecosystem for our users. The Appstore launch was a big step in this direction. Although it is still in its nascent stage, this is among one of the biggest bets for us.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. Moving to Bangalore from Bombay<\/span><\/h3>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Building a tech company in Bombay is hard, primarily from a talent perspective. We seek to have the best people at Instamojo, and moving to Bangalore was a step that we took despite having a great affinity towards the Maximum City. With all pros and cons, Instamojo has found a great abode in Koramangala, Bangalore.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. Our first user crossing 1cr of sales<\/span><\/h3>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A lot of our users are small businesses or those that are just starting out. We have seen a lot of them grow multifold over the last 4 years. One such user was a man running a blog which helped students prepare for exams. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He never thought it could be a business but gave it a shot once he discovered Instamojo. He was the first user on Instamojo to cross 1 cr of sales, and today employs 10-12 people himself. Stories like his make us believe.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4. Today!<\/span><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As I mentioned, someone today asked for everyone&#8217;s best moment at Instamojo. That got a flurry of such moments coming out and got us to realise how much fun we have had here. It&#8217;s a privilege to be working with such amazing people. This itself is a key moment and one that drives us to many more such moments in the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mb-button mb-style-flat mb-size-default mb-corners-default mb-text-style-default \" style=\"background-color: #2bc470;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/?utm_source=imblog&amp;utm_medium=interlink&amp;utm_campaign=home_page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign Up &amp; Be a Part of Our Family<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Its been 4 memorable years of building Instamojo.
