Welcome to another exciting episode of the podcast. In this episode I have with me Kush Mishra, who is the Chief Product Officer for Devices and VP Technology at Noise.Before Noise he served as a CTO and COO at Senra, a leading company in the IOT space. He is a very active Angel investor and has invested in bunch on startups so far.The thing which strikes me the most about Kush is his ability to introspect, read the market and make the right career moves.He has made some interesting career choices post IIT and ISB, which we will get to know about in this episode.*********Connect with Kush on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/foundersmindset_KushBook recommended by Kush:1 Zero to One https://amzn.to/3ZMuEPl2 Influence https://amzn.to/3NCbfy83 Tao Te Ching https://amzn.to/418BTBGGears/Softwares used for the podcast:01 Software for Recording Riverside App https://bit.ly/riverside-vivek02 Gears for Podcast Podcast Mic - ShureMV7 https://amzn.to/405gHgr03 Gears for Podcast Podcast Camera - Sony ZV1 https://amzn.to/3Zjq5vP04 Gears for Podcast Webcam Option https://amzn.to/3LH1ehZ05 Gears for Podcast Video Light https://amzn.to/404lM8u06 Gears for Podcast Softbox for Light https://amzn.to/3n92zUM07 Gears for Podcast Tripod for Light https://amzn.to/3FEl4XI08 Gears for Podcast Tripod for Camera https://amzn.to/3LzeiWS09 Gears for Podcast Table Arm for Mic https://amzn.to/3FEk8Cl10 Software for Music Epidemic Sound https://share.epidemicsound.com/xuhaf2Subscribe to my weekly newsletter: https://vivekpathakiitr.substack.com/******Chapters01.
