Three co-founders launched BlackBuck, a technological platform and network that revolutionized India’s trucking industry, in 2015. Each had different levels of experience. Plus one made a significant financial investment, whereas the other 2 intended to contribute more time. However, the three partners carefully discussed expectations. They unanimously agreed that, despite their different contributions, they shared the same dedication to the startup.
