Our guest today is Shashank Morley, and he is a BIT Esplanade alumni. He's the founder and co-founder and CEO at TapChief, a platform to seek advice from industry professionals, previously built in sold Edvice, an on-demand tutoring app, to HashLearn.
He headed products for HashLearn before he decided to set upon a path to democratize knowledge sharing with TapChief. Apart from startups and tech, Shashank enjoys the occasional bout of cricket, psychedelic music, and swears by Pink Floyd. Shashank, are you ready to take us to the top?
Definitely, Nathan. Thank you so much for having me here.
Pink Floyd, that's a throwback. Yeah. Tell us about the company. What does TapChief do and what's your business model? How do you make money?
This is pretty simple. So we have a lot of folks coming to our platform to consult experts on a variety of topics. And so these experts either charge for their time or do this pro bono. And every single time these experts charge for their time, we take a small commission out of it. So that's the primary business model of TapChief today.
So is this similar to like Clarity FM kind of?
Yeah, you can see that, yes.
Okay. How's the difference, would you say?
So, first of all, apart from one-to-one conversations, we do a whole host of other things. That is, we also do structured coaching programs. That is, somebody can pick an expert as a career coach, get their help on their jobs, higher studies and so on and so forth. So there are a bunch of other offerings that we do, which is slightly different from Clarity.
