Monday 15: Set on Startups to Start-us-Up

So, when I was about to start my daily quizzing sets again, nothing felt more apt then going with a set on those who actually started things up from the scratch. I will be focussing on those who made it big and those who are in their way to etch their stars in the Business walk of fame. And if you are looking for more business quizzes, you can check the The Business Quiz Series>>

Let's get started.
Q.1.When Apple began designating employee numbers for their payroll system, Original 10 was designated to the very first of the employees, even including the first CEO at #3 and the First investor, Mike Markkula. Though the CEO stated that it was designated randomly and not on the chronology of joining, yet X got offended that Y received #1 while he got #2 and so he believed he should be second to no one, so he took #0 instead. Who is X?







c.) Steve Jobs
Although, in official payroll system, Steve Jobs remained no. 2 but he always considered himself equal in capacity to Steve Wozniak.
Yes, I get you this isn't a startup which I was talking about, but I assure you more than half the enterpreneurs have apple as their dream business model.



Q.2.Ritesh Agarwal founded Oravel, a clone of peer-to-peer lodging website Airbnb. He then received a Thiel Fellowship that paid him $100,000 over two years to create a startup. He pivoted to a new business model with its closest competitors being Yatra, MakeMyTrip, etc. How do we better know this company?






b.) Oyo Rooms
Oyo Rooms was one of the very first startups coming from India right at the beginning of the development of Indian nexGen Silicon Valley.



Q.3.Below is the picture of one Tim Williams, who was a completely unrecognizable face until he became famous due to a certain Marketing Campaign. This campaign idea also led to similar popularity for a person in India too. Which company, a startup in its days hired Tim Williams?







a.) Trivago
yes, Trivago is an answer to this question and not the previous one. While Tim came to be called as the "Trivago" Man, my Indian Readers would remember the "other" Trivago guy because let's face it "Hum sabne online hotel search kiya hai"



Q.4.Think and Learn Private Ltd is one of the leading Edtech Startups of India, recently in news due to acquiring a child-coding platform WhiteHat Jr. However, it works under a different brand name, derived from its founder. What is the brand of Think and Learn?





b.) Byju's
Although the startup is named Think and Learn but its prime brand is Byju's named after the inspirational Byju Reveendran, the Ultimate success story for an enterpreneur.
The Trivago Man



Q.5. What happens when two Manchester United fans meet? They probably talk of the good old days. But what if they are cricket fanatics and engineers and MBAs to boot? Bhavit Sheth and Harish Jain, who fit the description above, founded India's first gaming unicorn, currently buzzing in the business world. What is their startup?






b.) Dream 11
Yes, you guessed it right, the one who have stepped up as IPL sposnors.
