The B2B SaaS Pioneer | Ambarish Gupta @ Knowlarity
It is said that failure is the stepping stone to success and that failures must be embraced. My conversation with Ambarish Gupta of Knowlarity drives this home.
Born to a jute bag trader, Ambarish is an IIT Kanpur alumni who worked in Germany, Australia & USA before he let go of his successful corporate career to start something of his own and make an impact in the real world.
However, his first venture failed to take off. He goes through two years of personal hell - his co-founder quits, his original business idea got no traction, he tried to pivot, tried raising funds - nothing worked.
But unlike most, Ambarish was not the one to give up. He returned to the US and did an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University and a consulting stint at McKinsey. Growing wiser from his mistakes, Ambarish returned to build what is today Asia’s largest cloud telephony company - Knowlarity.
In a fascinating conversation, Ambarish speaks about his entrepreneurial journey of embracing failure & then growing Knowlarity 60X in 6 years!
By the end of this episode you will learn more about what not to do when starting a new venture, why you should become a Founder and what things he considers when investing!
