In today’s episode, we have Aravind Srinivas, the Co-founder & CEO of Perplexity, who is on a mission to change the way we search online. Backed by Jeff Bezos and having raised nearly $900 million, Aravind shares the journey of building one of the most talked-about AI startups in the world right now. From choosing the name Perplexity to why they might change it soon he reveals it all.
We dive into how Perplexity actually works, why two people asking the same question get different answers, and how it’s different from Google. Aravind explains why Google’s business model could be their biggest weakness, how AI is shaping entire industries, and which businesses are at risk of disappearing. He also gets into conspiracy theories, digital amnesia, and whether AI is more of a threat or an opportunity.
In the last part, we talk about political pressure, Perplexity’s stance on bias, what the real benchmark of success looks like for them, and why replacing Google is not as crazy as it sounds.
