The Clueless Companyย โ€ขย 3m

Everyone told us not to use a negative word in our brand name. We built our brand around it instead. Every single time Manasi and I get on a call, whether itโ€™s with a lead, a partner, or just someone curious, we almost always hear the same thing: โ€œWe love your brand name.โ€ The very next question? โ€œSoโ€ฆ how did you come up with it?โ€ And just like that, the conversation starts on a high note. The ice is broken. The call flows easier. We end up smiling more. They lean in more. Some even told us they liked it so much, they checked if the trademark was available, because they wanted to use it themselves. (Spoiler: nope, weโ€™ve got it locked down for โ€œThe Clueless Companyยฎโ€ ๐Ÿ˜„) Now, hereโ€™s the funny part. โ€œCluelessโ€ is technically a negative word. But for us, itโ€™s always worked in our favor. Because the truth is, every founder, every leader, and every team starts off a little clueless. We did too. And instead of hiding that, we owned it. We built a brand that wears curiosity and humility as a badge of honour. In fact, one of the best things thatโ€™s ever happened to Manasi and meโ€ฆ is our brand name. Weโ€™re ridiculously proud of it. And the biggest lesson? Sometimes the thing that seems like a weaknessโ€ฆ becomes your most powerful strength if you own it completely.

4 years. Thatโ€™s how long The Clueless Company has been around. But hereโ€™s the truth, this journey was never just about us. Every late-night strategy call, every โ€œwhy isnโ€™t this working?โ€ moment, every win worth celebratingโ€ฆ none of it would have b

4 years ago, on Ganesh Chaturthi, we took the biggest leap of our lives. Manasi and I launched *The Clueless Company* on 10th September 2021. What started as two people with a vision (and honestly, a lot of uncertainty) has today turned 4 years old.
