Building a unicorn without really trying to | Dhiraj Rajaram @ Mu Sigma
In what has been one of the most brilliant conversations I’ve had on this show, I sat down with Dhiraj Rajaram the mastermind behind Mu Sigma - one of India’s first Unicorns!
With over 140 Fortune 500 companies as its clients, Mu Sigma is an amalgamation of design, research & data.
Dhiraj had an ever wandering mind and a childhood that was challenging & different to most kids. But, as he says, “Pain is a gift. It does sculpt you.”
And sure it did. Shaped by the early lessons he learnt in life, Dhiraj had a successful corporate career working for PwC and then Booz Allen Hamilton. However, the drive to do more and to do things differently took precedence, and Dhiraj took the bold step of investing his life savings into his own startup - Mu Sigma. Onboarded Microsoft as his first client and the rest is history!
In a fantastic conversation, Dhiraj speaks about his thoughts on innovation, learning and embracing uncertainties.
