Manage episode 297030385 series 2949024
In this episode Sridhar Iyengar, serial entrepreneur shares his point of view on many subjects from tech startups (of which he has founded 3) and newborns (he only has one so far). Sri tells us about his previous adventures and building a company with values and why that has become more important to him to transform these into concrete objectives. Sri tells us about the importance of having women in boards, including his amazing board member Uma, as well as considering women in product design, a lesson he learned from his previous company Misfit Wearables.
He also tells us about learning how to navigate the world as the son of Indian immigrants in Tennessee and what he learned from his father by not going to his high school prom. Sri tells us about his musically inclined mother who taught him to always fight for his rights. He discusses sharing a workplace with his wife, a biomedical engineer, who contributes immensely to the team at Elemental Machines. Sri shares how his own experience, as well as seeing the women around him struggle, has made him see the need to build the world differently, as a more inclusive place for everyone, including his own daughter, to whom he will teach that she can be absolutely anything she wants.
