One of the fundamental questions that all\u00a0business owners need to answer at some point is the age-old “Do I pursue a Product or a Service model?”. More than just a decision, the answer defines\u00a0an organizational mindset that helps shape the personality of the\u00a0agency.<\/p>\n

Our panel of experts have experience in successful product- and service-based companies over the years.\u00a0The session will be informal and conversational, with sufficient time devoted to audience questions.<\/p>\n

Nirav Mehta<\/h3>\n
\"\"Nirav is called the entrepreneur geek. He likes technology as much as business.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He’s built a rather eventful track record over the last 18 years. He launched India\u2019s first electronic magazine, a thriving web agency that went down in 2009, made a heroic return and recovery, then a string of successful product businesses in parallel. He’s authored three books and speaks at various tech and business events.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But hey, numbers and all the claim-to-fame apart, what\u2019s most important about him is that he loves to contribute. He is easily approachable and has a lot of experience. So if you have any questions about WordPress, WooCommerce; starting up, running or scaling a tech business, he’d love to help!<\/div>\n
