PreGrab

PreGrab is a venture that wants to tap into the pre-owned products market. We have kicked off from being a market-place for dealers of pre-owned products and will be primarily focusing on the needs of the buyers of these products. Once having established ourselves in our core business competencies, we aim to expand into B2B and C2C avenues. The problem we aim to solve is of the lack of reliability and visibility of these products from a buyer’s viewpoint. All the present arrangements in the market (online and offline) fail to provide these deliverables leaving the market highly untapped and the core problem unsolved.

In 1959, Dashrath Manjhi’s wife died because a mountain stood between his village and the nearest hospital.

He didn’t blame fate.
He picked up a hammer and a chisel.

For 22 years, he broke that mountain alone and built a road where none existed.

At topmate.io we are at our Mountain moment.

Our semi-monolithic architecture helped us move fast. Now, our exponential growth is testing its limits. Entropy is rising. Systems need to be reimagined, not patched.

We need our Manjhi!

We need someone who has been there and done that. While I love freshers, here we would need at least 3-4 years of experience folks in hardcore backend. Language and tech don't matter.

Ideal candidate - 4 years of experience working in a Series B startup who has seen their journey from the start.

If you have been through the phase where suddenly entropy increased, systems started to shatter due to unprecedented growth, and then you were the one to calm the systems down by revamping older services. Well, you are my ideal candidate!

Here is your chance to disrupt the creator economy and turn on it's head!

I’m Sakshi Darpan, Founder of SackBerry Media, a personal branding and social media agency that’s helped 250+ founders, CXOs, and investors build their online presence and win trust in the digital world.

In the last 3 years, we have worked with clients across India, Dubai, US & Canada while generating millions of impressions for them!

What I do: 
- Build magnetic personal brands on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter/X
- Grow visibility for brands through social media strategy, PR, and paid ads
- Use AI-driven systems to scale outreach, content, and operations without adding extra headcount

🌍 What makes me different
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter content. I believe in storytelling that actually makes people stop scrolling, pay attention, and remember you. My clients don’t just get followers, they get leads, speaking gigs, media features, and opportunities they didn’t even know were possible.

📌 Beyond business
I’ve grown my own brand to 90K+ followers on LinkedIn by sharing my learnings in real time
I’ve been invited to speak on panels, podcasts, and judge startup events!
I’ve built an agency that runs on strong systems, so I can take vacations (sometimes a full month!) while the business grows


✨ What drives me
 Helping founders and brands turn their expertise into influence.

Some coincidences are too good to ignore.

The whole country celebrated India’s recent win!
And the very next morning I noticed this Kurkure Ad - the brand had been **twinning with men in blue* even before the victory happened!

Creative thought, perfectly timed with the nation’s mood.

That’s what great moment marketing feels like — effortless.

My teachers were convinced I would barely get a job. Today I run a 6-figure USD agency at 27. Here is what actually got me there.

I didn’t go to an IIT or IIM, nor do I have any fancy degree. 
Genuinely average in school, the kind of student nobody expected much from.

I am not telling you this to be inspirational. 

I am telling you this because the story most people believe about success is completely wrong!

That you need the right college, the right network, the right starting point.

I had none of that. Here is what I had instead:

📌 One skill I went embarrassingly deep on before trying to learn anything else 
📌 Early clients I charged less than my worth just to collect proof I could deliver 
📌 Every single client treated like a case study, results documented obsessively, outcomes doing the selling 
📌 The ability to say no to generalist work faster than felt comfortable at my stage

Nobody hired me because of where I studied. They hired me because I could show them exactly what they would get and point to someone else who had already gotten it.

The thing most young founders wait too long to understand is this. 

Clients do not pay for your credentials. They pay for clarity, consistency, and results they can see before they sign.

You do not need a better resume. You need better proof.

At what point did you stop waiting to feel qualified and start backing yourself anyway?

#AgencyGrowth #FounderJourney #PersonalBranding

Unpopular opinion: Indian founders are too humble on LinkedIn. And it is quietly costing them clients.

I do not mean arrogance. I mean the habit of shrinking before anyone even questions you.

"We are a small team but we try our best." 
"Still learning, but here is what I think." 
"I might be wrong, but..."

I have worked with founders who bootstrapped to ₹2Cr+ ARR, built teams of 50 from scratch, and solved problems nobody else in their industry touched. Their LinkedIn still reads like a first year intern's profile.

Here is the thing. 

The global founders you admire state what they know clearly and confidently. Not because they are shameless, but because they understand that confidence is a service to their audience. 

When you hedge everything, your audience cannot trust you. And if they cannot trust you, they will not hire you.

You do not need to go viral. You do not need 100K followers.
 
You just need to stop apologising for what you know.

Own your expertise. State your opinion. Say the thing you keep softening.

Your clients are looking for a confident guide, not someone still figuring out if they are allowed to speak.

P.S. Are you guilty of this too? Drop an honest answer below.
