Here’s how Mandira Bedi’s journey as a Sagoon investor looks like

Social media is the new synonym for communication. It has enabled us to network like never before, engage with people who matter, and has provided us a platform where we can express ourselves with zero censorship. The social media commentary ranges from political to humorous and provides an equal platform to the private citizen as well as the rich and the famous. This is why it is no surprise that the share of social media web space is only increasing day by day. A misty reflection of the IT Boom, social media is definitely not a temporary flash in the pan. In fact, it is here to change the future of communication. And to prove this, Nepalese American IT engineer Govinda Giri has come up with his path-breaking social commerce platform Sagoon, one that is sure to lead the social media revolution that we had all been waiting for.

Sagoon revamps the way we knew digital communication by allowing us to connect, share, and even earn rewards! It aims to pave the path to meaningful conversations with people who really matter. Sagoon encourages its users to express how they feel and not simply tell what the world wants to hear. Yes, this social media platform allows us to connect with people over real conversations. And not just this, Sagoon ensures that the time we invest online culminates into something that earns us big rewards. Sagoon is offering a unique opportunity to its users to become investors in its growth-stage and earn huge returns. Seeing its massive potential, many celebrities are also coming ahead to get associated as investors with Sagoon.

Actress, fashion designer, and television presenter Mandira Bedi is the latest entrant to the list of Sagoon’s investors. Her tryst with Sagoon started much before she became a part of Sagoon's app launch event in New Delhi, in January, 2018. When Mandira playing the titular role in the 1994 television serial, Shanti, which was also the first ever daily soap on Indian television, she broke the status quo and had us all inspired. As Sagoon is also amongst the few companies who are veering off the beaten track to turn social media into something meaningful, it became her apparent choice to get associated as an investor.


To celebrate this association, we took out an opportunity to connect with Mandira Bedi and know what she expects from this union. Below are some excerpts.

How and when did you decided to get on the Sagoon journey as an investor?

Mandira: Like any other business woman, I am always looking out for investment opportunities which can generate handsome returns for me in the future, which also enables me to do good for the society.

I got associated with Sagoon at the end of 2017 which resulted in me becoming a part of their app launch event in New Delhi, on Jan 2018 along with actress Shraddha Kapoor. We had a great event and some very exciting conversation while rehearsing for the event. On the day of the event, I got to hear the growing problems of social media that Sagoon is trying to resolve through its interesting and thoughtful features. The team was very passionate and hardworking. Then came this investment opportunity, so there was nothing that could have stopped me in joining the bandwagon.

What inspired you to be a part of Sagoon?

Mandira: From where I see, Sagoon mirrors innovation and has a unique and refreshing concept of Connect, Share and Earn. My conversation with the team and the founders gave me insights into how focused they are to make social media a productive and knowledge sharing platform. We all know the evil side of social media nowadays, so if someone is working towards changing the narrative, why should I miss the bus.

What do you think is unique about Sagoon or what differentiates it from others in the ecosystem?

Mandira: First and foremost, the founders' belief in creating the third wave of the Internet to build more meaningful social interactions is great. I strongly feel this is the need of the hour.

Also, I have always been very vocal about keeping India first. As Sagoon is committed to build a new social world from South-East Asia with India as its launch pad, I did not want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Additionally, this is happening first time in India — Sagoon has brought in an opportunity for common people to become an investor in the growth stage start-up company, which was earlier limited to the rich and mighty. I think this answers the unique!

How do you feel being a part of the Rise and Shine Club?

I never got the chance to invest early in any other billion-dollar companies. If I had this opportunity, it would be so great; don’t you also think so. Now that we are getting a chance with a very low risk involved and in a well-regulated way, I believe there is no harm participating in it.

Finally, what is your message to the Sagoon founders and its team?

Mandira: I have had conversations with the Sagoon team and its founders many times and this gave me insights into how focused they are to make social media a productive and knowledge sharing platform. So, I wish them best of luck and hope that they’ll succeed in creating a new social world order right here from India.
