We invited the co-founder of Shazam, Dhiraj Mukherjee to share the Shazam story from its humble beginnings to the IPO.

Dhiraj Mukherjee is one of the cofounders of the music identifying service, Shazam. He completed his Master's at Stanford University in 1997 and currently serves as the Head of Banking Innovation for Virgin Money in the United Kingdom. Prior to starting Shazam, Dhiraj worked in consulting for Bain & Company and as a Project Manager for Viant Corp.

Most importantly we will talk about serendipity and how Dhiraj ended up getting involved with Carl Thomas and MiPic. It's an incredible story.
