Why startups need to hire Internet Entrepreneurs
They fix crises, hack growth, and thrive where others struggle. No-brainer!
Startups are like cricket teams playing a T20 match on a pitch that keeps changing every over.
One moment, it’s a flat belter, and your brand is smashing sixes. The next? Bam! Swing, spin, and chaos, your competition is yorking you out. In this madness, you need players who can handle unpredictability like a Son of God.
These folks aren’t your typical suit-and-tie corporate types who wait for quarterly meetings to make decisions. No, no. They’re like your street-smart cousin who always knows how to hack life, whether it’s bargaining for paneer at the local market or flipping Instagram ads to make ₹10 lakhs out of ₹10,000.
Companies that hire them?
They don’t just survive the chaos, they thrive in it.

Okay, now coming back to Internet entrepreneurs like me, they are built different. They’ve seen it all: Facebook ad accounts banned mid-campaign, websites crashing during a flash sale, and customer complaints that would make your typical corporate guy faint.
For them, a crisis isn’t a nightmare; it’s just Tuesday.
They don’t sit around forming committees to figure out what went wrong. They fix stuff.
If a server goes down at 3 a.m., they’re the kind of people who’ll pull an all-nighter, call the hosting provider, debug the code, and ensure your customers can get back to buying that ₹499 product you spent ₹1,000 advertising.
All before their morning coffee.
Think of them as the Virat Kohli’s of the corporate world. When the chips are down, they thrive under pressure. They know that a quick, 70% perfect decision made now is often better than a perfect decision made two weeks too late.
Growth hacking is essentially figuring out how to grow a business while spending less. And nobody does this better than Internet entrepreneurs.
These people know how to make ₹10 feel like ₹100. Want to double your website traffic? They’ll use SEO, email marketing, WhatsApp blasts, and maybe even DM a few influencers, all without burning through your budget.
Their idea of strategy is simple: “What can we do today to get results yesterday?”
And don’t think they’re just about cheap tricks. Growth hackers are innovators.
These are the kind of people who’ll think, “What if we turn our delivery boxes into ads?” or “Let’s make a meme so viral that people forget we’re actually selling something.”
Remember the Zomato billboards that had the entire country laughing? You can bet someone with an Internet entrepreneur’s mindset came up with that.
It’s clever, scrappy, and delivers 10x value for every rupee spent.
If the average corporate employee is a 5-star chef who won’t touch an onion unless it’s pre-chopped, Internet entrepreneurs are the dhaba cooks who’ll peel, chop, and even grow their own onions if they must.
They don't just lead teams, they do it themselves from the ground up.
Need an Instagram ad designed but no budget for a fancy agency?
These folks will open Canva, slap together a creative that somehow works better than the ₹2 lakh campaign you ran last month.
Need product feedback?
They’ll personally call your first 50 customers, even if it means listening to complaints about how “the app is slow on my Nokia 1100.”
Internet entrepreneurs don’t have time for hierarchy or excuses. They get stuff done. Period.
Corporate meetings often feel like a wedding committee discussion. There are too many people, too many opinions, and in the end, nothing gets done.
Internet entrepreneurs? They don’t have the luxury of time. They’re like Formula 1 drivers, making split-second decisions while racing at 300 km/h.
Imagine you’re running a flash sale, and a competitor suddenly drops their prices mid-sale. What do you do? Most people would panic or form a committee.
An Internet entrepreneur, on the other hand, will tweak the pricing, change the offer, and send a push notification within minutes.
By the time your committee drafts an email, they’ve already won back the customers.
Speed is their superpower. They know that in today’s world, the fastest player often beats the strongest.
Unlike people who’ve only worked cushy jobs where budgets feel like Monopoly money, Internet entrepreneurs often build businesses with their own cash. They know what it feels like to bet their last ₹10,000 on a campaign and have it flop or succeed.
This makes them ruthless about spending. They’ll question every rupee like it’s coming out of their own wallet. “Do we really need this ₹5 lakh office redesign, or can we just paint a wall blue and call it modern?” They’ll optimize your company’s spending faster than a Marwadi uncle negotiating wedding expenses.
But here’s the twist: they’ll still spend where it counts. Internet entrepreneurs know the difference between an expense and an investment.
They’ll happily blow ₹10 lakhs on influencer marketing if it means ₹50 lakhs in revenue.
The corporate world often fears failure like a middle-class parent fears their kid saying, “I want to be a DJ.” Internet entrepreneurs? They welcome failure like it’s an old friend.
They’ll run 10 experiments knowing that 8 will flop because the 2 that work will take your company to the next level.
Whether it’s A/B testing your website copy or launching a completely wacky new product, these folks are all about taking calculated risks.
And don’t worry about their egos. If something doesn’t work, they’ll admit it, learn from it, and move on.
No drama, no “I told you so,” just progress.
One more reason every company needs Internet entrepreneurs is because they think like owners. Even if they don’t have equity, they’ll act like your company’s success is their personal mission.
This isn’t just because they’re passionate (though they usually are). It’s because they’ve been on the other side. They know the pain of a failed launch, the joy of a viral campaign, and the constant hustle of staying relevant in a world where trends change faster than train timings at Indian Railways.
They’ll bring that same energy to your company, treating every project like it’s their startup. That’s the kind of mindset that can transform an average team into an extraordinary one.
Hiring Internet entrepreneurs isn’t just about adding talent to your team; it’s about infusing your company with a culture of agility, creativity, and relentless problem-solving. Call it the dream team!
These folks are the Swiss Army knives of the business world, scrappy, resourceful, and always ready to face whatever challenge comes their way.
So, if you’re still hesitating, think of it like this: hiring an Internet entrepreneur is like adding a Dhoni to your cricket team.
Calm under pressure, innovative in their approach, and always, always thinking about how to win.
