“I found out that my biggest competitive advantage was my culture.” - Piyush Patel

The tech world has been defined by blacks and grays long after its conception. Piyush figured that in order to stand out, they needed to embrace their own color. Deciding on using orange effectively differentiated them from everybody else.

Piyush also says that orange is the color of creativity at work, an effect coming full circle when the color was first chosen for their brand.

Piyush remembers a time when he hated going to work. This is hugely attributed to the fact that the basic foundation of any company, its core values, weren’t established.

“I had to kind of go on this journey myself of ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What am I gonna stand for?’ And that’s gotta be the company core values.” - Piyush Patel

Realizing what these values are, Piyush came back to a company that has started to turn around and grow into the big thing that it is now today.

1. What have you done to stand out in business and in life?

“Don’t try to be somebody you’re not."

1. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

“Even if people tell you you can’t do it, only you can say you can’t do it.”

“I wanna be remembered as somebody who changed the world.”
