How you got to know about Augmento labs and joined us?
Anurag, one of the founders, and I had worked together at EFI, he felt that my skills will bring the diversity needed in the team and the company. I have always known Anurag as a strong technical leader, so when he explained his vision and plan, I immediately knew this was the right place to be and I joined.
