Divya Narendra: Born to Connect, From HarvardConnection to SumZero Where Are They Now?

Divya Narendra, Harvard College Class of 2004, is the CEO and co-founder of SumZero, an online community where professional investors can share business insights and research. Divya’s business acumen dates back to his college years: In 2002, while still an undergraduate at Harvard, Divya launched the Facebook forerunner HarvardConnection, or ConnectU – and the rest of the story, as depicted in the 2010 drama “The Social Network,” is a blend of history and legend.
In today’s conversation, Gemma and Divya will touch on this chapter of Divya's early career. But they also unpack the layers of Divya’s character and experiences – college and post-college – that can’t be found on film or in the press. If you're curious about how Divya got interested in business in the first place – or how he has learned to develop business ideas that stick – you’re about to find out. Finally, at the end of the episode, contributing commentator and co-host Mable Chan (Harvard AM ’93), will offer a commentary about how to find your competitive edge in the academic and professional space. Tune in for all of this, and more, in our second episode of “Where Are They Now?”
