In this episode we spoke to Gagandeep Josan, Head of Solutions & Industry @ Whatfix about how he got his job.

Before joining Whatfix, Gagan was the CEO of Nittio Learn, an LMS platform that helped businesses train and reskill distributed workforces.

The reason I talk about Nittio in the past tense is because earlier this year Nittio Learn was acquired by Whatfix, a leader in helping enterprises drive digital adoption.

In our conversation, Gagan and I spoke about what the process of acquisition looks like for founders at smaller SaaS businesses. Specifically, he discussed:

• How he and the rest of Nittio's leadership team decided to pursue acquistion
• What it takes to find an acquirer
• What the legal and business process of acquisition looks like.

A quick point before you listen: We recorded this interview way back in August so keep that in mind when we discuss timelines.
