G2One Network is working towards to spread its wing in more challenging environments ranging from working towards on a whole new domain offering to stay up-to date with the ongoing technology revolution.Our focus not only limit to only one kind of industry but we are pacing ourselves to increase our vertical limits reach from small to large scale industry and so as our business model too.
4. How did your team meet? And who in your team does what?
In our core team, we have five people on board who are taking care of every business aspect of the organization. Since, we are still young, for us saying or dividing the team into different positions (while) working does not make a fit. So, to make things short and say, we are the company of those people who not only put our brains in our job but we believe in putting our heart too.
5. What, exactly, makes you different from existing options, what will make your product and/or service stand out in the marketplace? In other words what’s unique about you and what’s new about what you make?
The answer is simple if we know pretty well that yes, we have to serve clients with fulfilling all their objectives, our aim completes as well as working towards making thing a huge fit for not only us but also to set up the clients example in front of future clientele. We love our clients and so as their projects. The more challenging their projects are, the more we love them.
6. What is your growth like? And what milestones has “G2One Network” achieved so far?
1. We had started with a team of only two people and now we have 25 people on board.
2. Starting as a simple designing company at first, and just with less than two years time, we re-think and understand that what more we can offer to the world, and result in which now we are working as a full-fledged internet interactive agency.
3. Our love for writing take us to a step further and in the first six months itself we are able to start our online magazine name I2Mag: Internet & Design Inspiration Magazine, talking about huge developments going on in the world of tech, mobile, gadgets, social, business and lots more.
7. Who are your competitors? And what is “G2One Network”‘s competitive advantage over them?
Naming the competitors we believe do not make a fit at the moment but talking about our start-up’s competitive edge, “We Mean Business” but with complete “CARE, TAKING CLIENT VISION & OBJECTIVES AT EACH STEP, PUTTING OUR BEST TALENTS.” We are growing but we are really making our paths to fly. Right now it’s the world of us and our clients and their projects.
8. What obstacles did you face and how did you overcome them?
A Start-up do face an obstacle at every other step but time and experience the things worked on on your favor itself. Digging deep, the most important obstacle is to get the ROCKSTAR people on board as if we have such people working under our hood, then we win half the way already. We believe in investing in PEOPLE and this is what we are doing till now and will continue doing.
9. What are the key things about your field that outsiders don’t understand?
People get confused what marketing and advertising can do for them. How a brand created website can do for them? Even, we have seen people who do get confused over understanding how Social Media can make their business vibrant. We are always interested in helping people understanding our business all they just to do is to buzz us, and we are more then happy to help them making our service understand to them.
10. Why are you going to succeed?
Reason I told you already in above question – We believe in two things:
1. We not put our brains but also our hearts as for us our work is our GOD.
2. We invest in people – the ROCKSTAR type – for us having huge number of people do not make sense, but only a “few some” can make us big apart as these are those who really understand our vision and what we want to achieve.
11. If “G2One Network” succeeds, what additional areas might you be able to expand into?
Currently we are only in offering services to our clientele but as soon as we move to next level, our interests includes by starting up internet radio stations chains, digital book store and niche jobs website. All our efforts and resources always aims to dig deeper in the places where we feel our requirement makes sense to giving back to the world.
12. Why did you choose this idea and concept to build “G2One Network” based on?
We love everything that belongs to internet, but it would be something cheesy i.e. something traditional but in different grasp. The things which people do see and feel in their daily lives.
We do have plans for future to bring it on more concepts, more traditional well-beings crafted into digital environment, but things do require time.
13. What have you learned so far from launching your idea?
You, me or anyone can think of an idea, but giving that idea a real shape, that’s a real challenge.
Learning something every day and even the learning not only limit till the tech or digital world that we are offering but everything that collectible required to turn the start-up into a success, which will be ranging from strategy to hiring right people and lots more.
14. Six months from now, what’s going to be your biggest problem?
More people. We are on aim to take this start-up by the end of this year with more talented people working with us and literally for that even if we have to search the whole country for it, we are ON!!!!
Along with this, we still backing up to get investors on board and with next six months time, we do think we may require someone who are interested in being a part of us and our passion.
15. What’s the benefit for the customer/user?
