Welcome to another great episode of the OpenWorld podcast!

As a podcast that encourages people to view the entire world as a home base (and potential market), we don’t often feature the traditional Silicon Valley type of entrepreneurs and startups. Today’s guest is an exception, as someone who grew up in Palo Alto, with companies like Google and LinkedIn in his backyard. It was there he began his journey four years ago… as a part-time valet driver.

In this interview I have the pleasure of welcoming my friend Amar Ghose, whom I met recently in Bangkok. Amar is the founder of Zenmaid, a calendar and scheduling application for maid services. Today, Amar’s business is doing well and is very profitable. In this chat we discussed how he was able to “rearrange his stars” and go from an employee earning a pittance to creating his own successful software as a service company with over 200 customers and traveling the world.

In the beginning Amar struggled to find qualified prospects for his niche product – a struggle all too common to new businesses. He kept plugging away, kept testing methods, and eventually discovered how to make very profitable partnerships and the best mediums to promote to scale up to his first ten clients, 50 and then 200.

Amar is a very smart guy, and we had a great discussion with a ton of insights related to marketing and lead generation. We also discuss how he created a successful software as a service business (with a model that can apply to any type of business) by uncovering the market needs, niche selection, entrepreneurship, and travel.
