Hear it yourself
"I came from nothing. I never even imagined myself to be doing all this. A $20,000,000,000 company. 45,000,000 users. Over a billion searches a month. Built in three years by 400 people. These numbers, like, doesn't motivate me. It's hard to get motivated by wealth. You wanna get motivated by impact. This is perplexity with cofounder and CEO, Aravind Srinivas.
