On this week’s ThinkData Podcast, I sat down with Chandini Jain, CEO and Co-Founder of Auquan.

After seven years in finance, from derivatives trading to risk analytics at Deutsche Bank, Chandini made the bold decision to leave the world of corporate stability to build Auquan.

Today, the company is helping financial institutions use AI to extract meaning, insight, and structure from the huge volumes of data they rely on.

We talked through:

• The origin of Auquan and the moment the idea clicked
• Why AI is so challenging to deploy in finance
• The dynamics of co-founding a company with a sibling
• How Auquan’s mission evolved as they learned more about customer pain points
• The values guiding her leadership style

A sharp, honest discussion on building in one of the most demanding industries.
