In this episode, I had the pleasure of connecting with Sai Srinivas (@saisrinivas). Sai is the co-founder & CEO of MPL (India's largest online gaming platform). He is a rockstar product leader a no-nonsense straight talker, and has built a unicorn in under 3 years in the face of intense competition and regulatory challenges. He's a treasure trove of insights on many topics such as hiring, scaling, product strategy etc. I thoroughly enjoyed this hour long conversation with him on a wide ranging set of topics. Hope you enjoy it too.
