Q: What are some of your core values at Webengage?
A: There are so many, but the most important is to have GREAT INTENT, great non-malicious intent. Everything else becomes easy when you have great intent - that's the core of everything that we stand for at WebEngage.

Q: how do you manage to keep employees motivated & in line with the company's mission?
A: We will give you a great workplace, a great team & make sure that everyone around you is bullish about your success. If despite this you need motivation, then you probably don't belong.

Q: There is Burrp mafia. Will there be Webengage mafia in future?
A: Yes, I definitely want there to be a WebEngage mafia, and one that's much bigger and better than the Burrp! mafia. Given the amount of value these guys create here, it's going to be massive! Wait and watch ;)

Q: How do you find great talent?
A: It's not easy. It's a lot of personal networking that you use. Subsequently, it becomes about culture - once you hire the right kind of people, they attract more like-minded people. Hiring by referral is one of the most reliable ways in-house.

Q What are the biggest failures in your journey with Webengage?
A: I've gone wrong in probably every single dept, be it sales, marketing, prod... But we still continue to survive as we accept mistakes very easily & course correct.

Q: What's the biggest challenge when growing from10 to 100 people?
A: When you're small, the founders are very accessible & that leaves little room for problems. But when you grow, you get busier & founders become less accessible, that leaves people with more questions.

& no-one to look up to. We tackled this by bringing in HR early on and empowering them, making them accessible - this opens up the doors between you and a larger team.
