[Sharanyan]

Hey Guys,

I'm Sharanyan Sharma from Sri Lanka. Actually, Covid19 gave me a chance to getting involved with LinkedIn never before during the last 3 months 🙂 

I noticed a major gap in LinkedIn and I'm trying to develop a solution for that big problem through an online premium content distribution methodologies ( Case studies & Experiments, Emotional & Experience marketing frameworks, etc) 

I'm here to horn my skillset from the practical entrepreneurs and maybe I can find out my dream co-founder within this community too 🙂

Emma,

Glad to connect with you. I liked how you are connecting to the social value and benchmarking against competition. Story telling by connecting to the emotions of people will definitely attract more and more participation.

Looking forward to learning more. Best wishes

Respectfully,

Hi Guys,

I am Rohit D, founder of Cerekon, and based out of the little red dot in Singapore. 

Our start-up is focussed on industrial inspections using AI and wearable technology, to make the day-to-day lives of field personnel safer and faster.

I am very excited to be here and look forward to the Elevate accelerator .

As we work on our customer engagement strategy, digital and inbound marketing is key .

I would like to know how we can speed up the customer acquisition cycle, increase promotion and learn from the mentors and past experiences of others at Elevate.

Having a sweet tooth it's difficult to choose, but probably my top 2 favourite desserts would be 'Gulab Jamun' and   'Tiramisu'. 

Gulab Jamun 

 

Tiramisu

Cheers,

Rohit
