– Zomato: Evolved from menu-listing to “convenience company” with Blinkit 10-min delivery and Hyperpure B2B supply. Used meme-marketing for brand personality.
– Paytm: Leveraged Demonetization as distribution. Solved trust with Soundbox in 11 languages. Shifted monetization from consumer to merchant via devices + loans.
– Amul: 75-year case of cooperative + topical creativity. Amul Girl topical ads for 58 years built brand value on <1% ad spend. Structure + culture beat campaigns.
Common Pattern: All 5 companies reframed their category, solved for Bharat first, built ecosystems over products, and used culture as distribution.
Message to Cadets: “Innovation is not about technology alone. It is about observing Indian problems deeply and having the courage to break old rules.”

The session was interactive, with cadets asking how small startups can apply these lessons. Dr. Devi encouraged cadets to use NCC’s problem-solving training for entrepreneurial thinking.
