Why Curiosity Will Take You Further Than Confidence | Janaki Pulaparthi | TEDxVBIT

From choosing computers over her mom's doctor dreams to founding Akin, Janaki's journey defies the script. She navigates engineering confusion, IT boredom, dusty infrastructure sites, and entrepreneurship before realizing drones could solve real problems beyond wedding photoshoots. Crashing prototypes, ignored pitches, rejection after rejection. She learns entrepreneurship isn't glamorous unicorn chases or LinkedIn success stories. It's surviving the big failures, being told no a hundred times, and showing up for the 101st attempt with unwavering grit. In 1.5 years, Akin grew organically from an idea to Forbes 40 Under 40, government partnerships, and national recognition. Her philosophy: Don't build for applause, build for impact. Ignore the noise. Trust your intuition. Let confusion become clarity, and failure become fuel. From leading roles in top multinational companies to founding Akin Analytics, Janaki’s journey is one of growth, courage, and making a lasting impact through vision. With her expertise in business strategy, market research, and entrepreneurship, she transformed her diverse experiences into a meaningful venture in the world of AI.
