Lessons learned from Flipkart & the early days at Facebook
Having a badass team doesn't "just happen" — you have to work on it. These guys have done that and with the very best, so we decided to fly them over to Paris so you can learn from their exceptional experiences. Daniel Pepper, who was early engineer and manager at Facebook. He spent almost five years at Facebook in the early days, helping build technology to scale the company to a billion users and tackling everything from distributed compilers to running an international engineering training program. Niket Desai, entrepreneur & previously Chief of Staff at Flipkart. This awesome guy previously co-founded Punchd, a mobile loyalty startup, which was acquired by Google and recently was Chief of Staff at Flipkart in Bangalore. Flipkart is the leading online shopping site in the fast growing Indian market, and Amazon's main local competitor.
