His father started the business in a small village in India focusing on rugs. In 1986, his dad made a bold move to open a U.S. office when almost no Indian companies were doing it. Satya joined in 2004 and became an acquisition machine, growing the company through strategic purchases and a relentless focus on the long game.\nHe explains why curiosity is life and assumption is death, why no one gets penalized for mistakes at Surya (experimentation is the business model), and how his grandmother—who raised his father in a patriarchal village with nothing—taught him to do more with less. Satya wraps with his vision for the next decade: becoming part of every line item on a designer's project by earning it through service, reliability, and unique ideas.\nFollow The Market Makers wherever you get your podcasts for more stories of transformation from the people shaping how we live, work, and gather.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oGXCeUoGBgZSSu7hTIaN87LoVZ7N2avIGAJhQMVS8F0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iODM0/ZGE0NmUxZmJjMDBl/MTFjZTZmMTI5ZTYx/YWJhMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
