In this Episode, I speak with the Founder of the Indian Global SasS Company that helps us Consumers to seamlessly edit Videos - Sanket Shah of InVideo.
Sanket has been so candid throughout the Episode, sharing such great Practical insights and learnings! Sanket is an avid believer of the adage that if you do something dedicatedly for long enough, the results will follow.
InVideo recently raised their Series A - 15Mn round led by Sequoia Capital and TigerGlobal, two of the largest Institutional Investors in the world. InVideo also currently has over 800,000 users across 150 + Countries. InVideo is not an overnight success, neither is it a one man or two man show. It is the result of 8+ years of hard work, dedication, perseverance and willpower of Sanket and his Cofounder, and the team that constantly innovates at InVideo. The Innovation and Culture show via the great hiring stint we talk about during the Episode or the Inside InVideo Blog or even the Customer Support article that went viral.
