In this episode, you’ll hear about: -The travels her family did each summer growing up, alternating between India -and new locations, and how this influenced her curiosity -How even as a child, Gowri aspired to be a doctor, rocket scientist, and professor rather than the typical “princess fairy” -How the violin taught her the importance of practice and instilled in her a work ethic that would later help when starting a company -Why Gowri never thought the company would end, even when their first CTO had to leave the company (and why that’s critical to success) -How she and her husband, who is also an entrepreneur, bounce ideas off each other while still managing to keep work and home life separate -What success means to Gowri (and why it’s probably not what you think) At the end you’ll hear about Gowri’s favorite products, including Purple Carrot, a vegan Blue Apron that even her meat-eating friends enjoy, and why she’d want to interview Jeff Bezos.
