E132 - Building the AWS of Testers w/Lambda Test’s Asad Khan

Indian Silicon Valley with Jivraj Singh Sachar

21-01-2023 • 44 mins

In this Episode, I (⁠⁠⁠@Jivraj Singh Sachar⁠⁠⁠) speak with Asad Khan, Co-Founder & CEO of Lambda Test.

Asad is one of the most fascinating founders I’ve had on the show, as he exhibits the founder experience from both a bootstrapped mindset, having built a multi-million dollar services business and the venture mindset, building a global product giant currently. Lambda Test is working towards becoming the AWS of Testers, covering more than a million developers and 500 enterprises currently! They are one of the most disruptive DevTools companies being built from India.

Considering the innovative nature of what Asad is building and the massic scope ahead, I tried to be mindful of the insights we could derive from his journey. Through the episode, we focus on tactical aspects around hiring senior leaders, looking out for great talent, the importance of storytelling internally at a growth oriented fast-moving company, GTM strategies that worked and that did not, trying to uncover how Lambda Test got here. I thoroughly enjoyed Asad’s insights on the show and strongly recommend sticking around till the end. But before we get started, here is a quick word on our sponsor for the episode:
