E10: Building a Business from Zero to $160M with Srikanth Velamakanni CEO of Fractal Analytics

In today’s episode we have Srikanth Velamakanni, Co-founder, Group Chief Executive & Vice-Chairman of Fractal Analytics, a multinational analytics and AI company serving the largest businesses across the globe. Having graduated from both IIT and IIM, Srikanth started his career in Investment Banking, before collectively deciding with friends that entrepreneurship was their true calling. Not having a business idea or concept in mind, Srikanth went back to his passion of mathematics and human behaviour to develop the idea of using data to make better informed decisions. Founded in 2000, Fractal Analytics was ahead of its time being one of the first pure-play analytics companies. From having to convince their first customer to engage with them for free, Fractal Analytics today is a $160m revenue company with 2,100 employees worldwide. In this episode, Srikanth touches on the difficulties of launching his business as well as the sacrifices he made from a financial and emotional perspective. We also discuss mentorship and common mistakes he sees founders repeating, as well as the important topic of mental health issues that entrepreneurs face.
