3. What’s your competitive advantage and why can’t it be copied?
What we believe in adding some values to our clients by following a basic ground rule of never over-commenting. We only commit to what we can deliver, this is something which most of the people in the same model also don’t do.
4. What risks are you facing?
IT is now a very big market with really big projects. The biggest risk which we take is to make sure that whatever projects we take we successfully execute it. Settling down with a decent job is something which almost everybody has been doing for decades but doing something out of the box and trying to make an impression that lasts forever by totally coming out of the comfort zone is the biggest risk which we took.
5. Have you considered any alliance/partnership?
We believe in team-work and we are growing because of it. Absolutely, we are expanding as we expanded in Israel also looking forward to a few more countries to expand.
6. What are your cash flow projections? When will you break even? How much will you need in investments?
Appriffy already has raised funding from our investor Mr. Abdulla Darmaki. In the near future, we are heading for a million-dollar investment.
7. What comes first for you money or emotions?
This question has lots of layers but I would go with emotions.
8. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
My strength is my hardworking team and our similar principles. Well coming to my weaknesses, I am afraid of street dogs 😉
9. Tell me about an accomplishment you are most proud of.
Quitting my job and starting Appriffy is the riskiest decision that I ever took and now looking at the growth and success of Appriffy, undoubtedly it’s an accomplishment I am most proud of.
10. How do you handle the pressure?
Funny videos 🙂
11. If you sold your company today, what would be the tone of the conversation? What would you want to gain? What would you want to avoid losing?
My company is something which I am not gonna sell as of now or in the near future. I am looking forward to making it a great success and add some value to the people under the Appriffy umbrella.
12. What advice would you give to someone starting out?
Running a startup is not that easy, it’s really hard. You will face lots of day to day issues and you will have to compromise your personal life. If you are ready to devote everything you have got into your startup and if you love your startup like your newborn baby without any personal interest, then go for it.
13. What’s the one question you were expecting most and I haven’t asked you?
Well, this sums up everything about me and Appriffy the question which you could have added is about my team.
