E028: How Do You Find Product-Market-Fit? With Rajesh Iyengar

In this episode, I interview Rajesh Iyengar. With 20years in technology working at various startups, Rajesh shares how his deep knowledge and connections in the manufacturing industry allowed him to just ask them “What’s are your problems?” This lead to him finding a product that customers would buy, and hence Lincode.ai was formed. Its initial product uses vision intelligence (computer vision and artificial intelligence) to improve the quality assurance processes for manufacturing companies.
Raj shares how even an introverted technical person can transform themselves to go on and build a startup; by learning to engage and socialize with others and even do a podcast interview!

There is an age-old question, “are entrepreneurs made or born?” From selling firecrackers as a kid to building customer computers, and building custom software Raj has had a long-time interest in business. As a serial entrepreneur, we cover his early businesses and the sale of his first business in 2011; and his second sale in 2017. Raj is back at it and we discuss how he started Lincode and his journey so far.
