He started boat with Sameer. You might be amazed to know that this company was started in a Pub called Social. Sameer was in Bombay and Aman was in Delhi so investors always asked them about their remote startup as at that time there was no startup culture.

India was changing at this time. Aman started working in a category that already existed with no innovation. They executed their work in a very delegated way. When they entered the earphones Industry there were more than 200 Japanese, Chinese, German and Indian brands.

Problems while starting Boat | Aman Gupta

Aman also told that he has faced many rejections while starting with the Boat. Even employees rejected his job because they were not having faith in his company as companies got shut down in a few nights. Boat did not have any assets so banks also rejected them.

Aman decided to give it a try as he believes that trying is better than crying.

Unique Selling Point – USP of Boat | Headphones and Wearables

Boat has done great hard work in its initial days. They have done great research on Products and done unique marketing. Boat’s unique selling point came at Bass as India loves Bass in Music so they filled their products with Bass

They brought products at a very logical price which India wants to pay. They had done pricing in a medium point not very cheap ( Nano was also not sold at a low price) and not a very high price (India has low affordability).

Boat as Youth Oriented Brand

Boat focused on Youth consumers. Aman was not young at that point so he was unable to understand what is trending in Youth nowadays. He appointed youth as marketing interns. He understood their life and implemented the slang language with his brand. The young guys played a very immense role in the Brand Building of the Boat.

They understood their consumer’s Way of Thinking, Pricing, and Designs. This is their key to success.

Boat took Inspiration from Amazon | Customer is King 

Jeff Bezos has been a great inspiration to Aman Gupta. The reason behind this is disclosed by himself. There were a lot of E-Commerce businesses present in India before Amazon and Jeff came. Jeff has focused on Customers and he regarded his customers as a King. Give your customer what he needs and he will take care of your needs.

Amazon did not leave obsession for their customers and they taught them how to shop. Today only Amazon and Flipkart are the ones who are standing in the Indian E-Commerce game rest are not doing so well.

The principle before starting Boat was to focus on Consumers’ needs and this is the reason of Boat’s success. With evolving technology, they also evolved.

Starting Boat from Zero and Making it to Number one Wearable and Headphones Brand In India 

Boat started their journey when there were 200 Players and from Last 3 Quarters Boat is the number one brand for selling Headphones. They are the top 5 wearable brands in the country.
