#139: Sharthok Chakraborty on building company culture, founder's mental health, and leadership mistakes

Want to learn the ins and outs of culture and hiring?

Sharthok has you covered on both accounts in this wide-ranging conversation with us. As the Co-Founder of Klaar (an HR tech start-up), he also shares:

• The learnings from building the culture
• Founder's mental health and why it is important
• Why building in public + execution > the idea
• Identifying the right problems to solve
• Hiring the right candidates and the role of leadership
• His mistakes as a founder and learnings from failures

Sharthok combines a career in HR—including working with giants like Aramex, Cipla and Kraft Heinz.

In addition, he has also been the founder of 2.5 failed startups (Ten Mint Entertainment, Pyper and Rootstore). He says 2.5 because his earnings from TME did put him through two years of B School.
