    S2 E3 - Kirti Sharma | Founder

    Welcome to another episode of codebar Stories! Today we're bringing you Kirti, she perfectly embodies the spirit of 'learning by doing.' She spent years in the fast-paced world of investment banking and consulting, but when she decided to build her own product, she realised there was a missing piece of the puzzle: the code. Not one to shy away from a challenge, she jumped into a bootcamp with Makers to gain the structure she needed to build her business from the ground up alongside her partner. In this episode we talk about that transition, the reality of building a business with your partner, and why sometimes, a bootcamp is exactly the structure you need to move from 'idea' to 'execution'.
