Exly Co-founder Akhil Tripathi, turned his problem-solving personality into a full-time profession through the creation of this platform. He joined Get Fintech-Ed, by KredX for a podcast episode to discuss how this platform revolutionised the \u201cX-factor\u201d through art and artists for the content creation industry.\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Tripathi grew up witnessing and solving many problems around him. He said in the podcast that his most vital motivation for creating Exly was to make the world a little easier for entrepreneurs. While starting up a business, there are a lot of fringe stuff creators are required to do. And that is exactly where Exly comes in, to take away all those additive jobs they are required to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But How Exactly Is Exly Helping Out With This Revolution of Entrepreneurship?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the concept of entrepreneurship and start-ups has gained popularity quite recently, Akhil\u2019s vision was created when it used to be a frowned-upon topic, thanks to our education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the same, Akhil mentioned<\/a> how the system represents an \u201cemployee factory\u201d instead of valuing individual skills and prospects. It creates a mentality of following orders rather than being problem solvers, \u201cand that’s primarily where Exly tries to brick those gaps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, things have started to look a little better for startup runners. This is because the education system is gradually moulding itself towards its inclusion. However, there can be no denial of the inertia that is still very much present in the aspect of starting up a business. Mostly accelerated by lack of funding, time management, and resources, this inertia is yet another big hurdle in the path of today\u2019s entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is exactly where Exly comes in. The platform provides all of the mentioned for free. That is why people with the courage to start their own projects can give shape to their dreams through Exly. Akhil mentions that when creators get this ability to start their dreams for free, they get to try out their ideas. They can see if it works and have the opportunity to grow exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNowadays the number of creators also specifically in India is growing tremendously so I guess yes, Exly is proving a right platform for such creators\u201d: Kredx Host Prateek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akhil\u2019s Views On Technology Being a Boon or a Bane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to the popular favourite opinion of technology hailing boon as well as bane at the same time, our founder was quite effortless with stating his opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akhil\u2019s view on technology is that it is always a boon. Regardless of its type, it will be an inevitable scope that is going to stay for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that the fact has been supported through the recent happenings from all over the world. The way technology held the hands of a business, among other sectors, during the COVID-19 pandemic was commendable to an extent that even without an infectious virus making its way all over the world, the newer implementations are here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Drives Exly To Empower Art and Artists More Than Ever in the Content Creation Industry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Akhil, stating that empowering artists has always been one of the strongest motivations behind the creation of Exly, adds that the platform is a solution for all those sceptical artists who hesitate to follow their dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most predominant reason behind this hesitance is a lack of resources and time. Exly serves those creators with the same resources for free as well as taking most of the time-consuming additional work away from their plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quoting Prateek<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been an artist as well and honestly if I had known that you know there was a platform like Exly before then probably things would have been different right now\u201d: Prateek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is That One Major Loophole That Exly Strives To Solve in the content Creation Industry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The current social media growth scenario has built a premise that is very random in nature, as Akhil believes. Currently, the reach of a content creator or service provider is dependent upon the following they have on their social media. And that, in itself, is a very unstable approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
With Exly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That is one major loophole that Exly strives to solve. Creators now use Exly to digitalise their offerings, expand their businesses and monetize beyond their geographical limits. From a comparison point of view, creators who had to use external payment methods, hire agents for recording the data, maintain excel sheets, reach out to customers to remind them about their due payments, and reach out for feedback individually, can now just do all of these in 15 minutes through Exly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to how far ahead Exly is on the journey to fix those loopholes, as Akhil believes, Exly has just started. \u201cRight now we are in a space where our creators tell us about the problems they are facing, and Exly being a business that supports a lot of businesses, our plate is always full, filled with the right kind of problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining Uniformity in Operations or Taking Risks and Achieving Big? Akhil\u2019s Take on Being A Modern-Day Entrepreneur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the question is quite self-answering, considering Exly was a product of taking risks and achieving big, Akhil provided a mixed opinion in regard to the mentioned options. At the end of the day, it can’t really be an \u2018either or\u2019 perspective that will determine an entrepreneur\u2019s take on functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akhil, being no exception to the strategy, said, \u201cin our day-to-day work setup we are always trying to balance both ways of working because one cannot work without the other\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou need the confidence of sustainability to try out the risk you want to entertain,\u201d although personally, he describes himself as someone who is willing to take more risks for more rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exly\u2019s Efforts Apart, What Makes Creators Choose Us As their Platform Despite the Presence of Social Media? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Answering Prateek’s question, Akhil clarified that Exly has never competed with social media platforms in the content creation industry, rather, their objectives are diverging from each other. Social media provides such a platform for its creators where they can gather attention from an audience. Exly as a platform,\u00a0 however, is like \u201ca home to the audience that’s loyal to them\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Lead Conversion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is so because creators build their own website and platform through Exly which in turn serves as the common room for all the loyal followers of the concerned creator. In a way, social media is that platform where creators can target and attract an audience and Exly is where they can nurture them and convert them into leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this very problem in hand, Exly is serving its vision of \u201ca world with no boring jobs\u201d by turning artists\u2019 passionate endeavours into sustainable projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
