Arvind Jain was a Distinguished Engineer at Google, where he’s credited with making Google “faster than the blink of an eye”. He quit that job and founded Rubrik, a company that does $500M in revenue and will go public later this year. But that wasn’t enough. He left Rubrik in 2019 and founded Glean, an AI-powered work assistant.

He ignored early market feedback. And it worked. Check out this episode if you want to learn why sometimes doing things differently can produce massive outcomes.
