Discovering the ABC's of entrepreneurship - Guharajan sivakumar

Experts in their Fields - The EITF project

We are back everyone. We hope you enjoyed the interviews so far on season 2 of the EITF project. This is our final episode for season 2 part 1, and we have a very special guest on the show. We have Guharajan Sivakumar, the founder and CTO of Aprecomm, an exciting start up based out of India, doing incredible work with building intelligence solutions into routers, to make WiFi better! Before we dive deeper into Aprecomm, we will introduce Guhan to you.Guhan started his career as a junior developer at Ecosmos technology Mysore in November of 2002. Beyond that though, he talks about how he joined Mysore university in order to learn about drivers and driver code, but since it was such a new topic at the time, he had to hit the books. Eventually, what he learned was knowledge that he could share with his professor from the university. Guhan joined Altosys software technologies in 2003 as the team lead for real time embedded solutions.Guhan says in his interview, that he has always been passionate about Knowledge transfer, and so while he pursued his career in the corporate world, he was always looking for small challenges to solve on his own. To this end, he started a company, that sold science kits to kids in school, so they could learn the subject in a demonstrative way, rather than in a theoretical manner. An amazing and creative idea, which helped a lot of kids learn the subject in an easy way.Guhan eventually joined Atheros (now Qualcomm) as the lead engineer working on the earliest versions of Wi-Fi technology, before he founded Aprecomm.We noticed in Guhans interview, that throughout his career, he has always been curious, to look beyond his everyday job, and experiment with new ideas. He talks about some of the ideas he has had, and still has! Excellent ones! He also talks about what it takes to eventually build a company from ground up, the realities of business, valuation, funding, startups, etc. Selfishly speaking, We learned a lot about entrepreneurship from this interview, and Guhan gave us a lot of ideas for EITF!An inspiring one, that will give every budding entrepreneur a sudden surge of energy.With this last one for part 1 of season 2, Karthik, Charu and Nandini sign off.
