AavGo CEO and Founder Mrunal Desai: Success Is Not Making the Same Mistakes Again

Imagine walking into a hotel and being able to check in without needing to speak to someone at the front desk. Well, such a scenario will soon be possible thanks to Mrunal Desai and his startup AavGo. Currently, AavGo is rolling out a variety of solutions for the hospitality industry, including contactless check-in, a work management platform for hotel staffs, a digital app for in-house guests, and more. Mrunal joined startup coach Roland Siebelink on this week’s episode of the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to discuss why he started AavGo and all of the ways his startup will change the hotel experience for both guests and staff. They also talked about the many learnings that Mrunal has encountered as a first-time founder. The biggest key for AavGo in forging successful partnerships. The mistake that AavGo made during its early days that it hopes not to repeat. How AavGo is trying to maintain the culture of a small company despite having close to 100 employees. The method Mrunal uses when starting new teams or hiring new employees. The thing founders should get from investors beyond their money. Why Mrunal’s biggest success as a founder has nothing to do with the company’s success.
