The Last Row of Sun Lab
2:18Vivek Ravisankar (CEO, HackerRank), Hari Karunanidhi (CTO, HackerRank)
Vivek and Hari met in a Linux lab at NIT Trichy, in a group that called itself the last row of Sun Lab. Years later the man who founded Sun funded their first round.
Past the origin story, this is the two of them on what that lab produced and what they did with it: nights that ended at 2am for one of them and 3am for the other, a group that also produced a Rippling founder, and how little they could relate to the founders they read about when India was known for manufacturing and services. Then the office today, which Vivek says he would trade tomorrow for the same people back in the same lab.
