Our guest for today is Tarun Mangukiya, 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. Iconscout is a design resources marketplace with 2.5 Million+ Icons, Illustrations, 3D Assets, and Lottie Animations from 2000+ contributors globally. We provide the simplest way to sell, share & exchange design assets to a worldwide audience.
