[CTQ Smartcast] Small teams, good products & a learning culture, with Srikanth Adiga

Krishagni is a study of how small product companies can play to their strengths using the right systems and culture.

In 2009, Srikanth Adiga founded Krishagni, whose flagship product OpenSpecimen helps clinical research centers in 20 countries manage their biospecimen data in a highly configurable way.

Krishagni is unusual in many ways: they are bootstrapped, they work in open source, and have chosen to remain as a small team. Why did they make these choices? What systems and routines have helped Srikanth build a continuous learning culture?

Find out in this Smartcast. Srikanth is in conversation with CTQ co-founder J. Ramanand.
