Our guest for today is Tarun Mangukiya, Co-Founder & CEO at Iconscout. Before joining this company he has worked with companies like Microsoft, Remarkin E-Learning, and many more. Instead of going the job route after completing college, he took the startup route and built Iconscout from scratch. Being such a successful product, Iconscout was acquired by LottieFiles in Feb 2021.
