What do sweaty warehouses, spreadsheets, and side projects have in common? They all shaped Jagath Narayan’s journey from a curious coder in India to the founder and CEO of Ordoro, a software platform that powers the operations behind successful e-commerce brands.
In this episode, Jagath shares how he:
- Validated Ordoro’s idea by working in a literal Texas warehouse
- Built the MVP before raising a single dollar
- Found his technical co-founder at an entrepreneur speed dating event
- Uses customer conversations to guide every product iteration
We also dive into the mindset shifts required for entrepreneurship, the pitfalls of similar-skillset founding teams, and why getting your hands dirty is often the only way to uncover real opportunities.
Whether you're launching your first startup or scaling a SaaS business, Jagath’s story is a masterclass in scrappy execution, lean learning, and staying relentlessly curious.
