38. The No-Code Movement, Entrepreneurship, and Music with Arun Saigal, Cofounder and CEO of Thunkable

In Homecoming’s Season 2 finale, Arun Saigal, the Cofounder and CEO of Thunkable, a Y Combinator-backed startup that allows anyone to build their own mobile apps without any coding experience, joins me on the podcast! Previously, he’s held a variety of leading roles at tech companies including Quizlet (where he built and launched the first version of the Quizlet Android app), Khan Academy, Aspiring Minds, and Google. He was also named to Forbes 30 under 30 in consumer technology. And if that isn’t cool enough, Arun conducts orchestras like the San Francisco Civic Symphony, plays viola and mridangam (a South Indian classical drum), and beatboxes in several San Francisco-based music groups.

In this episode, Arun talks about his upbringing in Boston, his time at Phillips Academy and MIT, Thunkable and how it got started, the future of the no-code movement, his music, and important lessons about starting a company and staying optimistic that he’d want to pass on to the listeners.

Also listen to the very end of the episode for my brief Season 2 recap!
