Reflecting on our first year — what went well, what we would do differently, and the advice we wish we had heard earlier.
A year in business teaches you things that no course, book, or mentor fully prepares you for. Looking back on Rajan Corp's first year, there is so much we are grateful for — and so much we have learned the hard way.
The biggest lesson: community relationships matter more than any marketing budget. Our most valuable customers came through word of mouth from the Tamil community. Invest in those relationships first. Every review, every referral, every customer who tells their neighbour about you — that is your most powerful growth engine. We are deeply grateful to every customer who has been part of our first year.
