Connecting the Dots with Ashwin Bhadri

About The Guest -

Ashdin Doctor is The Habit Coach™. He believes that awesome lives start with awesome habits. 

Back in 2014 Ashdin was unhealthy, overworked, stressed and sleep-deprived. Till it caught up with him and he found himself collapsing on the floor clutching his chest unable to move.

It was then that he realised that his life needed to change. In this pursuit, he informally studied various perspectives on health, nutrition, fitness, exercise, anatomy, nervous system, habits, motivation, lifestyles, meditation and sleep.

He has partnered with thought leaders, doctors and experts in various fields related to lifestyles and health. Having changed his life around, he began sharing these learnings with others.

Hence he started the habit coaching business called Awesome180 (Www.Awesome180.com). The Awesome180 program focuses on building one’s foundation habits – sleep quality (not quantity), nutrition (not diet), movement (not

exercise), de-stressing, hydration and breathing. These form the foundation of creating Awesome Lives.

Apart from coaching his clients one on one. Ashdin has conducted workshops for Google, HerbaLife, Bank of America, YPO, EO, Rotary Club and many others.

His book “Change Your Habits Change Your Life” has been published by Harper Collins. He is on a mission to sell over a million copies and conducts workshops for people to get into the habit of reading.

About The Guest -

At the age of 16, with 256 Kbps Internet speed, I started my career as a self-taught graphic designer. After landing a few projects, I was hungry to keep learning more, and that's how I landed in web development.

At the age of 18, while still pursuing my education, I launched my first product around WordPress security, which did wonder. It not only paid for my entire education but helped me become financially independent as a teenager.

However, I exited that project and continued with my college and freelance development.

At the age of 20, I met my first co-founder Oscar Hernandez (He has been my co-founder ever since in everything that we do), known as Power Up Hosting; I ran the company for over 7-years before exiting.

At 24, I started India's first PBN Hosting platform, which I later exited in 2017.

My life changed when I launched my third startup, which failed severely and changed my whole life. It taught me some of the most valuable life lessons, including management, team hiring, and more.

The failure of my third startup gave me the idea of PitchGround (My most successful startup to date, currently valued at $20m as of 2022). PitchGround is a SaaS Marketplace that bridges the gap between early-stage SaaS companies and early adopters, small-medium-sized businesses.

With over 92% of the SaaS companies failing in the first three years of their business, our mission was to resolve this unresolved market worth over $200 billion. During this journey, I met my second co-founder Lukas Liesis, building the company's core foundation.

Launched PitchGround on the 25th of September 2018, PitchGround has helped hundreds of companies and has seen over 80% of companies succeeding who are launching with us, out of which 15% of the companies can successfully raise capital post launching their SaaS on our platform. At PitchGround, we firmly believe in our 3P philosophy for any founder who wants to achieve a product-market fit - Product, People & Pricing (Same format).
