Episode Description
Tariq Rauf is the founder and CEO of Qatalog. An architect by training and mentored under renowned architect, Charles Correa. He worked on prestigious global projects, from Champalimaud Centre in Lisbon, Ismaili Centre in Toronto, Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai and the masterplan for the city of Goa. The experience was transformative, but his first passion was always software - beginning coding at the age of 6 and starting a software consultancy aged 16. In 2011, Tariq returned to his tech roots, eventually working with startups, scale-ups, and large tech companies, such as Wise and Amazon. Throughout these experiences he saw how disjointed work had become and built a deep desire to architect an entirely new category of software that made knowledge accessible, in a single, seamlessly connected platform. In 2019, he left Amazon to found Qatalog.
