Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Respawn | From Idea to PMF: Lessons from Scaling Interactive Platforms

Episode 4: Saurabh Pandey

In Episode 4 of Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Respawn, Saurabh Pandey, Founder and CEO of Eloelo Group, reflects on building a creator-led social entertainment platform and growing it into a multi-product group.

After leading category P&Ls at Flipkart, Saurabh built Eloelo around live interaction and community, then expanded into Story TV, Master and Connecto, each serving a distinct user behaviour. He talks about reading early signals in what users repeatedly return for, designing around formats that feel native to Indian audiences, treating monetisation as the clearest proof of product-market fit, and what founders should look for in investor relationships.

Scaling a consumer platform in India and plotting your next launch? This one's for you.
