Why 90% of Founders Fail During Crisis: Pukar Hamal Saved 200 Jobs by Cutting 200

from Big Hitters with Larry Weidel · host Larry Weidel

Resilience isn't built in calm waters; it's forged through adversity, rapid scaling, and the relentless discipline to execute when everyone else has written you off. In this episode of Big Hitters with Larry Weidel, host Larry Weidel sits down with Pukar Hamal, Founder and CEO of SecurityPal, to dissect the unfiltered journey from refugee immigrant to Silicon Valley operator scaling to enterprise-level customers like OpenAI, top three airlines, and Fortune 500 health insurers. Their conversation peels back the layers of hypergrowth, near collapse, mass layoffs, and the counterintuitive insight that your greatest competitive advantage isn't innovation; it's survival.
