Summary

If you would have told Girish Redekar while he was in college that he would eventually be writing software, he would have been shocked. His studies focused on electrical engineering, and post school, he was a hard core analyst. After some time, he and his friend decided to do the whole start up thing - they tried a bunch of ideas, and taught themselves to code. He remembers in his previous company he was the top contributor to the codebase until it was finally sold. Outside of tech, he is a movie buff - but bent towards the obscure movies that most haven't heard of... so obscure that he couldn't remember the name of the last one he saw. In his prior startup, he went through the painstaking process of becoming SOC2 certified. This experience stuck with him - so much so, that when he and his co-founder ventured out to start something new, they decided to create something to make this easier. This is the creation story of Sprinto.

more times. And we were slowly building the product behind us. We were actually doing these audits
