A candid Kavin Mittal admits his mistakes as he reinvents Hike and plans fresh fundraising this year

Kavin Mittal, son of one of India’s richest business tycoons, is a man who has waged his own battles. He got wounded, but it seems like he is not afraid to show the scars.

Mittal admits today that they made a couple of bad hiring mistakes which cost them dearly. “We should have adapted to the market, we couldn’t. That was the key reason. There was a period in which we went from 150 people to 400 very fast,” he said.
