Guest Introduction:

Our guest today is Jay Patel who is a second-generation Indian American. He studied Computer Science, worked as a developer in multiple companies before he founded his company FlexEngage. They serve big-name clients such as Under Armour, Michael Kors, Aldo, and many more. From my understanding, they read your shopping pattern and then show you similar items to purchase so you remain their loyal customer. I think it's an interesting time to talk to someone who is serving retail clients as they have been hit hardest by the Pandemic. Let's learn from Jay today how his being Gujarati has helped him in being stringent with his money and survive the pandemic without letting any employees go.
