Episode 48: Challenging the Status Quo with Niket Desai

Niket Desai is a serial entrepreneur and mastermind behind design and product strategy at Time by Ping, a platform that leverages AI and machine learning to free lawyers from manually tracking their billable hours.

In this episode, Niket shares his experiences transitioning from investor to employee at Time by Ping, taking a risk by founding a company right out of college, and making large scale innovation commonplace in India through Flipkart. He also dives into the importance of finding the ‘why’ in everything, which is what drove him to adopt a non-traditional title at Time by Ping and create his own roles in previous companies.

Tune in to hear Niket discuss why universities need to invest in their own talent, what his day-to-day working in product and design looks like, and printing a physical book of all the tweets he’s ever tweeted.
