Why listen

The signal, minus the noise.

Amar Ghose, founder of ZenMaid, joins us to share his journey from starting a maid service to creating a niche B2B software in an industry not typically associated with high-tech solutions. His philosophy of targeting specific, ‘boring’ niches with sophisticated software solutions has driven the success of ZenMaid since its inception in 2013.

A Silicon Valley native, Amar discusses his transition from sales to entrepreneurship, the nuances of building a business in a specialized niche, and the importance of focusing on solving problems rather than being driven solely by passion for the industry. His approach of “cultivating passion” over time is a fresh perspective on how to find fulfillment in business.
