The Journey from India to Building a $500M AI Video Product | Gaurav Misra, Captions

Gaurav Misra is the co-founder and CEO of Captions, an AI video creation tool that's making it easier than ever for creators to make amazing content. Before starting Captions, Gaurav worked as a machine learning engineer at Microsoft and later switched things up as a designer at Snapchat.
