Passion is infectious: Credible’s Jitesh Shetty

“You get this feeling of happiness when you do this,” Jitesh Shetty tells founders, “If that’s not happening, it’s almost like your system internally telling you: change something! Maybe that’s not the right idea for you, the right problem space…I think if that is not happening it will be very hard to succeed.” Jitesh, a three-time founder, most recently co-founded Credible, a SaaS company that helps businesses discover their environmental, social, and governance impact through data. His time growing up in India shaped his desire to become a business owner, he says. It also played a role in his current venture, Credible, which was initially formed after researching the state of manufacturing in India. In this episode, Jitesh recounts his experience founding previous startups, including one that captured the interest of both Google and Amazon. They discuss his company culture and the component he sees as key to having ambitious employees. You’ll also hear about a technique he uses once a week to stay present: silence.
