In this episode, I sit down with Auri Jana, Co-Founder of SixtyFPS, which he jumped on board with a year ago. Auri takes us on a journey from his childhood in the foothills of the Himalayas in India to his move to Berlin and his leap into entrepreneurship. 

Auri had a fascination with computers and programming from a young age and he took this with him into his working life. He shares his experiences working at Nokia, and the lessons he took from his first jobs. 

We speak in depth on the significance of a support network and Auri shares how the support of his family has played a vital role in work.
