One is always intrigued by stories of successful entrepreneurs and their high-flying Start-ups. Their journey to success is not as smooth as it sounds. Here is a story of how a small-town boy from India with USD 10k built a USD 15 Million business to impact more than 250,000 professionals.About the man himself and his incredible journeySubramanyam Reddy, affectionately known as Subbu, was born in 1983 in a small town called Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh. In 2007, he completed his MBA in HR & Marketing with the dream of becoming an entrepreneur.He kick-started his career in marketing with a start-up in Bengaluru. In 2009 he joined a training firm in a marketing role. Within the first six months, he performed really well and grew the business eight times. He was promised a 5 per cent incentive by the Founder, which was not given to him, instead he was fired for no reason.After suffering from this major set-back, he decided to pursue the vision to make up-skilling engaging, long term and accessible for professionals and students. He set up KnowledgeHut(KH) in 2011 with two of his friends. They found a rundown office and on-boarded 12 employees, to start their journey with KH. Even after a lot of efforts in the initial two months, they could not generate any revenue.Subbu had no more savings left to run the company. The employees wanted to leave, but Subbu convinced them to stay. By the end of third month, leads started to fly-in and they generated a revenue of approx USD 28K. They defied all the odds and generated business of USD 280k by the end of that year. In the next four years, the inspiring team at KH grew ten times in revenue and expanded globally.All was going well until 2015, the business suddenly went down and they had no money to pay salaries. Subbu took a personal loan to pay salaries and kept the company afloat. They analysed and quickly revamped their products/services to generate a revenue of USD 5.7 Million in 2016, USD 15 Million by 2018. They even got funded in the same year thanks to their phenomenal growth."Countless struggles and numerous challenges made me more resilient and even more focused," shares Subbu.KnowledgeHut's MilestonesToday, KnowledgeHut has trained over 250,000 professionals across 70 countries, their high-quality curriculum and pedagogy with 65 per cent more engagement, 95 per cent latest content and real-world experiences.
