Through the Looking Glass

W hen asked what qualities a successful entrepreneur should have, Suman Kanuganti's answer is succinct: 'Have Drive. Learn. Embrace risks.' Qualities Kanuganti (MBA '14) possesses in spades. As the CEO and co-founder of a flourishing startup born out of a Rady School of Management course, his determination is obvious. However, drive alone does not ensure the success of a startup, Kanuganti said. Embracing innovation is also key. A foundational understanding of innovation brought Kanuganti to the Rady School in 2013, where he hoped to create something new with the intention of helping others.
