We go into even things like nuclear fusion. Then we are juggling a couple of other balls in my family with my Chief Investment Officer and the team that he has. The question is can you make it engineering? That’s that opportunity at DevRev for me. There are too many departments and there are too many tools.Ĭreating that customer love is an art and a science. Listening from users to creators is noisy. How do you get makers or creators closer to users? That’s where failures start to happen – when the handoffs are not good. DevRev has been that opportunity to think hard about makers. In 2020, I figured I wanted to do something in the space of cloud service. Since 2009, I grew Nutanix to a great number of friends. When they ask me for something, the reason I like to call it a win-win is because it’s a great reminder for me as well of how I need to run my own business and operations because many of these things people ask is not something unique to them but also applicable to what I do on a day-to-day basis as well. In the last five years, I’ve turned into an investor. Then I went back to Oracle for four years. I really refused large company offers like Oracle and Microsoft several times to work for small companies. I decided to take a leave of absence and decided to join the industry and worked for Trilogy in Austin, Texas for a year.
A lot was happening in 1998 when I came here to Redwood Shores for my internship at Oracle. It was the height of the internet bubble. I definitely believe in serendipity and everything that has happened is about chasing serendipity in some sense. Monica was talking about her Black Swan event in her life.
Let’s start by however you want to introduce yourself and your companies.ĭheeraj Pandey: I came here to the US exactly 25 years ago in 1997 when I was not even 22. We’re going to talk about investment today.
Sramana Mitra: We’re going to continue the conversation we’ve had where we talked about his background as a founder of a successful high-growth company. The conversation spans a variety of topics and has some brilliant insights into the gaps in the tech industry. Dheeraj Pandey, founder of Nutanix and DevRev.
