Episode 8 Part 2 : R&D, Entrepreneurship and the lessons I've learned along the way with Akshay Gulati - a podcast by The Other Side

Episode 8 is out!!. And it's a deeply philosophical and a highly insightful one. Imagine staying back at university for 4 years after you've graduated. The typical reaction : confusion, disbelief and disdain. Now imagine staying back at university for 4 years for the sole purpose of continuing a student project. Shocked? That's what our guest  today, Akshay Gulati, did after graduating from IIT Madras in 2012. Akshay stayed back for 4 more years to continue working on the IITM  Satellite project, a student project that is now the tale of legend in IIT Madras. Akshay is currently the CEO of Infinite Orbits, a startup in  the domain of space tech and he was kind enough to join us on the show. In Part 2 of this episode, Akshay talks to us about the transition from R&D to entrepreneurship and about what he had to change along the way. Besides this, Akshay gives a heavy dose of life lessons to those who are currently in university and is very candid about the importance of embracing failure and taking life a tad bit less seriously.
