Ep 77: Ananth Narayanan, CEO, Myntra on protecting “the founder’s mentality”

It takes exceptionally talented individuals who take the leap of faith to become part of these startup journeys as employers.

What sets him apart as an outlier is his deep passion and sense of ownership for Myntra. So much that it’s difficult to tell that he’s not a founder.
