Co-founder #3- Engineering
Arun was my junior at college. During my undergrad years I kept a close watch on budding juniors and maintained a list of all the people to whom I could reach out. Tried working with a couple, too. Arun and I soon realized we were complimentary and over the years he’s been the Rock of Gibraltar; silently executing everything when things were falling part. Arun and I were the only two founders who met during the early phase.
When I came to the Bay Area, I realized the unfair advantage that local founders had. Most of them were graduating from the best universities and they were in a position to hire the best. I certainly didn’t have this advantage coming from an idyllic town in South India.
