We fell for Soham Parekh as well. Very unfortunate! He worked for Ema for around two months, never moved to Bangalore as he promised. Underperformed and under delivered - we are an intense company, you cannot succeed at Ema unless you are two hundred percent into it.

🚨 Our deep dive on Why SaaS is dead and the Future is Agentic is now live:
- Rising shelfware, complexity, and data silos are holding businesses back
- The future of enterprise software is agentic, where autonomous agents execute workflows end-to-end and charge for outcomes
Enterprise software is a $300+ billion market,
but most are inefficient and underutilized!
In our latest episode on @Seed2Scale, @anagh_prasad spoke to @surojit (founder and CEO of @Ema_Unlimited) to understand how AI Agents are redefining traditional enterprise software.

@Google was an amazing company to work for in early days. But over time culture started to degenerate as more and more entitlement kicked in and it became super hard to build and ship stuff. At @Ema_Unlimited one of our management principle is "Build trust, excellence and accountability, not entitlement." Here is how we think about it:
Trust: Build trust with and within your team. Lack of trust results in conflicts, politics and slow decision making. Building trust requires
Consistency: Be reliable and consistent in your actions. Follow through on commitments and promises.
Transparency: Communicate openly and honestly. Share information and decisions promptly and clearly.
Follow-Up: Ensure you follow up on tasks and promises without needing reminders. This demonstrates reliability and respect for others' time and contributions.
Coach yourselves and your team on Fast Decision Making: Most teams slow down and don't demonstrate excellence because decisions are stuck in never ending discussions. Encourage holistic and efficient decision making but refrain from decision paralysis due to hypothetical scenarios. As managers never:
Agree and don’t support a decision – this is sabotage and will not be tolerated.
Don’t agree and don’t support -> you are disengaged. You should not be here.
Excellence requires information, communication and operating cadence: Excellence demands clear information, communication, and operating cadence. At scale, well-defined processes and automation are crucial. A regular planning rhythm ensures smooth execution, while concise documents aid decision-making. Managers should focus on impactful execution, ask the right questions, provide timely feedback, and guide the team with clear communication. Effective delegation and encouraging team members to identify and address issues are essential practices.
Demonstrating positive leadership is crucial for a productive and positive workplace. Managers should maintain high and positive energy. High energy levels are contagious and can significantly impact team productivity and morale. Prevent negative energy and heavily call out cynicism and negative talk about colleagues or customers.
Ruthlessly eliminate entitlement: Managers should eliminate entitlement in the workplace by fostering a culture of accountability and merit-based recognition. Entitlement, the belief that one deserves special treatment without earning it, can lead to resentment and decreased productivity. Set clear expectations and ensure that recognition and feedback is completely based on performance and contribution, not tenure or perceived status. Open and honest communication is crucial; addressing entitled behavior directly and providing constructive feedback can realign expectations.
