In the latest episode of Figuring Out, we have the cofounder of Souled Store Vedang Patel in conversation with Raj Shamani. His candid personality and insanely indepth business knowledge will keep you hooked throughout the episode. If you have to take one thing from our conversation, then let it be Vedang’s thought process and brilliant observation skills.

We talked about the back story of how a super successful brand like Souled Store was created, and how it has been relevant for so many years. He talked about an interesting concept of building a memory of your brand in consumers’ minds and how to then turn it into a nobrainer option for them. He also talked about how to build a good retention rate and how to create loyal consumers. We also talked about how Indian consumers have changed and how it is making businesses more profitable and also about different types of brands in the fashion industry.

We also discussed how recent changes have created opportunities in India. He shared what can startups do differently to be successful in a competitive market and how to practically be consistent in a business and make it stand out. In the end, we also dissected the strategy of his most loved brand Nike. This episode will infect you with Vedant’s optimism and how he sees every problem as an opportunity.
