In this power-packed episode, Kushal Lodha sits down with Prem Jain, the legendary Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has quietly built and exited companies that have generated over $95 billion in revenue for tech giants like Cisco and AMD. Starting from humble beginnings in Delhi and BITS Pilani, Prem Jain moved to the U.S. in 1975 and went on to co-found companies like Crescendo, Pensando, and more. His deep insights into building enterprise products, creating impact-driven businesses, and raising capital from the likes of Sequoia Capital are a masterclass for every founder and dreamer.

The conversation covers a wide spectrum — from his $89 million startup failure and the tough lessons it brought, to his $2 billion exit at the age of 74. Prem Jain shares his startup philosophy rooted in Jain principles, the power of teamwork, honesty, frugality, and why he believes in impact over income. For every aspiring entrepreneur, investor, or tech enthusiast, this episode is packed with actionable insights, real stories, and timeless values that never go out of fashion.
