For the 11th episode, I’m joined by ⁠Palak Kadakia⁠, a product leader whose career has spanned Microsoft, UiPath, and now Trase. She’s led teams through IPO journeys, scaled enterprise platforms, and built AI-driven products designed to serve industries where precision and trust matter most.

We dive into:

• Balancing platform extensibility with simplicity in enterprise software

• Lessons from navigating IPO readiness and product-market fit at UiPath

• Building AI-driven products that solve real-world industry problems

• The mindset shift needed when moving between enterprise giants and early-stage ventures

• Her bold take on where enterprise product leadership is heading next

Palak shares candid lessons on building resilient teams, making high-stakes product calls, and creating impact across multiple stages of company growth.
