And so I feel pretty calm in my head, much more than what I used to.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

Okay, so let's flip the script a little bit.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

So we have made a ton of mistakes, like a lot of hiring mistakes we have made.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And like hiring mistakes, I'll talk about one or two.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

So one first is the hiring mistakes.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Basically, the services company are only as good as the people that you have.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

So the mistakes that you make will affect the client in some way or the other.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And we have to fix it and stuff.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

Like once we know that we have to let go of that person.

We make it right by that person in terms of monetary compensation or giving them time to figure out what their next piece of life is.

But we will not let our client suffer because of our hiring mistakes.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

So we will let the client know that, see, anyways, it's a mistake.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

So you don't have to pay over here.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And we deal with that separately and stuff.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And a couple of times what has happened is, again, like human errors have occurred and stuff like that.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And we compensate for that in some way or the other.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

So there was one client interview that I got it done through a third-party agency so that we can understand what actually our client feels about us.
