Most of us find it challenging to manage a job along with family.

This week’s guest Akash Kannegulla shares how he manages a full-time job and a start-up alongwith a family.

 

He is a perfect example of living his passion, working for a cause and perseverance.

 

While pursuing his Phd in nano-photonics (heard of it before?), he ventured into the world of entrepreneurship and developed a cloud-based product for researchers to help create thesis faster and named Wisedoc. During covid, his father and his sister lost their jobs so he pivoted and made his product useful for students and job seekers.

For the last 3 years, he has been working for Intel as a Process Integration Engineer alongside running a full-fledged business.

 

He strongly believes that the best way to know what you want is to keep exploring. 

He has shared his entire journey from identifying the problem statement to developing the product and finding the work-life balance.
