Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

It's better to pay a little bit premium, but it's not great to tie yourself up with anything long-term that can cost you money.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

Yeah, our vision for Mobius is that we want it to be the go-to marketplace or platform for anybody who is looking to go from A to B and anybody who's looking to hire.

There's a huge gap in the market right now of that whole workflow being very fragmented and broken.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

Job seekers or people who are making the transition have a very fragmented ecosystem.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

And there is a lot of dishonesty in that ecosystem in terms of taking advantage of the need of wanting to go from A to B, but not exactly providing services necessarily.

with the right intent to add value.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

So some of them are overselling their value proposition and some of them are just not adding any value at all.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

But it's very fragmented, right?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

So as somebody who's making that transition, it's very tough.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

And for people, for enterprises who are hiring, it's a very expensive process right now and it is very slow.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

And so we see a future where there are no middlemen

or middle women, for that marketplace is 100% smooth between the person who's seeking a role and the person who's looking to hire.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

So that's the world I see, whether it's going to happen in three years or five years, but our company is betting on that future and hopefully playing a role in establishing that future where we are really streamlining and we are removing all that friction for both the enterprises as well as the job seekers.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

I think like one of the core values of that I run with as well as the company, our company runs with obviously because I'm the founder, which I value a lot is the principle of integrity.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

And I think all the way from the way we have designed our pricing to the way we treat our customers to the

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

The way we work with our partners and the way we design our services, as well as our marketing and promotions, integrity is very important.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

And I would say that a big influence in my life on that particular front has been my father.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

And I think I have always carried that.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

I think for me as an older son, there's always been this sense.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Ashwin Agrawal, MobiusEngine

aspect of being like him and so one of the things i've always admired about him is to what lengths he would go to maintain integrity and even the perception of integrity when you could be in tricky situations i think that's very important
