Hi everyone!

I'm building Aarambh Consultancy Service, a consultancy focused on recruitment and HR support, e-commerce account management, and IT services.

I'm currently focusing on growing our recruitment division and connecting with businesses that need help finding suitable candidates.

We are interested in working with:

• Startups and small businesses looking to hire.
• IT companies hiring developers, testers, technical support staff, and other professionals.
• Manufacturing companies with hiring requirements.
• Established recruitment agencies looking for candidate-sourcing partners.

We'd love to understand your hiring needs and explore mutually beneficial partnerships.

If you're a business owner, HR professional, or recruitment consultant, feel free to connect with us!

Connecting Talent with Opportunity 🤝

I've been thinking about this question while researching an idea for a YouTube documentary.

Every business faces market changes over time. Customer preferences change, new technologies emerge, competitors enter the market, and sometimes the entire industry changes.

But if these challenges affect almost every business, why do only a few manage to survive for 100 years or more?

Is it mainly because of good leadership, the ability to adapt, strong brand loyalty, financial stability, or something else?I'd like to understand what actually separates businesses that survive for generations from those that disappear within a few decades.

For those who have studied business history or have experience running a business, what do you think is the biggest factor?

Wanted to share an actual result instead of another "how I made it" post. Hopefully that is okay!

The last product in a long line of tests to fuel my entrepreneurial dream. Spent over €3,000 on all sorts of ads, products and projects. I know that might not seem like a whole lot compared to the millions some businesses spend. But for a solo founder it was quite a lot of money to "burn"..

Anywho I built a digital product (a sleep guide) and spent some money on testing it out with no clear plan.

After that I rebuilt the whole approach: got feedback on the page from strangers before spending anything extra, fixed what was wrong based on that, then ran one test, €150, decided in advance, no more.

Result: 25K reached, 1,132 full video views, 244 page visits.

Zero sales.

Zero sales hurt me emotionally but it isn't automatic proof nobody wants it, though. If a true 1-in-100 buy rate existed, you'd still see zero sales after 244 visits about 9% of the time, purely by chance right?

So I ran the numbers instead of guessing. At my cost per visit, I needed roughly 1 in 26 people to buy just to break even. Zero sales from 244 visits meant the actual rate was very unlikely to be above 1 in 80. That's what made stopping an easy call, data instead of a gut feeling or stubbornness pushing me to keep going.

Genuinely curious: for anyone who's killed a project, was it a clear data-driven call like this, or more of a gut decision? Trying to figure out if what I did is a repeatable process or if I got lucky with how clean the numbers came out.
