As a part of the LinkedIn interview Series - I have been taking interviews of brilliant minds and leaders.

Last weekend was one of the most memorable interview sessions. As it was none other than our SpurTree Technologies's Co-Founder - Subhod C M 😇

Catching up with Subhod was like a deep dive into wisdom treasure! We talked about everything under the sun – career paths, life's philosophy, big ideas, how society rolls, and even some clever money tricks. It wasn't an usual interview, it was more like hanging out with a cool mentor and soaking up all the wisdom!


Here are the highlights:

❇To truly excel in your career, go all in and give it everything you've got. Subhod's early days are a prime example. He didn't stick to the confines of his job description; instead, he went above and beyond to showcase his skills to company leaders. Within a mere week, he had already made a lasting impression and in the end, found himself entrusted with managing an entire department.

That's the true power of using your skills to the fullest.
