Building a Culture that Lasts - Suresh Sambandam, CEO & Founder of Kissflow

Suresh Sambandam, the CEO and founder of Kissflow, is a
quintessential entrepreneur. And that's not just because he can
hustle his way out of any crisis, but more because of the way he
applies all his learnings egolessly in moving his startup forward.
Suresh talks about "the HP Way" he discovered while working at
Hewlett Packard early in his career, and the way the company puts
trust in its people. "Trust isn't just about honesty or competency.
It's a two-sided coin; you need to have competence and character.
You won't trust anyone who doesn't have competency. You can't trust
a doctor who is not a good doctor. " In this podcast conversation,
Suresh also opens up about two of the toughest challenges he faced
in his career--the 2008 financial crisis, and losing his cofounder
during 2013, which triggered a deep introspection and challenged
his beliefs, moulded him forward. Suresh recommends several books,
including "the Fifth Discipline", which is about building a
learning organisation. Please tune in to this episode of the
SaaSBOOMi podcast to learn how Suresh is applying best practices
from across the world in building a learning organisation that
survives the test of crises.
