Unscripted Sessions with Surendar Natarajan, CEO of Adapt.io

2020-04-07

To understand how to tackle a few common B2B challenges, we recently hosted Surendar Natarajan, CEO Adapt.io on our podcast. We discussed how B2B leaders were dealing with the global pandemic situation and how industries are affected economically.

Let's learn about a bit of Surendar's career first. He started his career by working at TCS as a software engineer for almost six years. After that, he joined Owler as the Director of Engineering, where he worked for five years remotely. Finally, he quit Owler to start his own company, Adapt.io.

Surendar saw that most of the data (business leads/company contacts) provided by companies like Zoominfo and others were outdated, and saw scope for disruption. Adapt.io's focus has always been on quality, and it has been one of the biggest product differentiators among the competition. In this episode, Surendar shares his journey, the vision of the company and what has helped them to shine in a rather competitive market.
