Introduction

  • Yash is a second year student at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kerala who’s native place is Dehradun.

  • Nayan is the CEO of Finflux which is a digital financial solution for banks and financial institutions.

Discussion on how making a sustainable product which will actually be used is tough

  • A lot of ideas fail because they're launched at the wrong time.

  • Only a fraction of products that are launched are successful and have millions of users, most products fail.

  • For example: Google made a platform similar to GitHub, Google Code Project Hosting which never really kicked off. Ultimately Google archived the platform and shifted over all the projects to GitHub.

Code Quality

  • Brief discussion how code quality, efficiency depends from person to person.

  • Nayan says the fastest code is the code has not been written, that is just an idea.
