When Sachin Dev Duggal was asked to pick some of his favourite things: Music Michael Jackson, salsa music and things with a beat that I can sing along to. I grew up with a love for dancing and anything that has a great beat is awesome. Gadget Bragi headphones as they are waterproof. Sachin Duggal swim with them on. He said when I did my triathlon, they were critical in keeping me focussed. Book Losing My Virginity by Richard Branson. He remains a mentor, a friend and this book was what really captivated me about him from the word go. Cuisine Lebanese and biryani. But, my mom’s is probably still the best. Movie 'Justice League' and 'Darkest Hour'. I feel they had a combination of being futuristic as well as delving into history.

Sachin Dev Duggal is the founder of SD Squared Labs, a boutique complete services software & application development company I know Sachin Dev Duggal who is current CEO & Founder of Engineer.ai as the guy who created Nivio, a company that actually let you get Windows apps on your freaking iPad, and it was all legal. It was this beautiful thing. People loved it. And Sachin Dev Duggal sold it. I thought we were going to do an interview about that and that’s what I’m all geared up for. Instead, that’s kind of going to be the backstory to what ends up being the actual interview, which is this new company that is actually bigger, more substantive and it’s called SD Squared.
