Yeah, I think that will be our journey. We'll make the global payment, the pain of setting up payments, tax compliance, etc, etc. We want to make that seamless for our customers as well as any new budding entrepreneurs so that they just focus on building products rather than solving for payments and compliance. So we want to take that pain away.

Tony Hsieh was a founder of Zappos. He's kind of been my idol for quite a bit of time. Like when I actually started to pursue entrepreneurship, I actually read his book. The idea of customer obsession and building something that actually customer wants struck with me, right?

I made a lot of mistakes around defining the product roadmap as per my thinking business thinking and in the end I kind of stuck with that thing only like build only that thing what your customer wants and I think this time we are made sure that we'll only build any feature that has been requested by at least 10 people within our merchant base.

I think a lot of budding entrepreneurs are actually obsessed around the solution, not the problem, right? And like, if you are a techie, you tend to basically invest yourself building the solution, not solving for the problem or identifying the market, right?

So my only advice to all the budding entrepreneurs and all the people who come for me for advice, I actually give them only one thing that spend as much time as possible studying around the problem statement, talking to customers, validating the problem.
