New Delhi, Oct. 23 -- Artificial intelligence startup Perplexity's co-founder, president, and CEO, Aravind Srinivas, believes that it takes one key skill to be chief of a company - "make peace with problems existing", i.e. the ability to accept imperfection.

Speaking at a recent Dean's Speaker Series talk at UC Berkeley Haas, Srinivas shared his thoughts on the most important skill needed to be a CEO, Perplexity's products, his approach to the business and towards investors.

For example, for the AI company's funding rounds, the startup founder says he eschews presentations for direct Q&A sessions. He also shared that Perplexity thrives by releasing products that are 80% perfect and then improving by adapting to the market needs.
