Ramsri Goutham Golla joins SlatorPod to talk about his creator journey in AI SaaS (software-as-a-service), AI consulting, and AI courses.

Ramsri discusses his shift from software engineer in Silicon Valley to entrepreneur in India with AI SaaS apps Questgen.ai, Supermeme.ai, and Supertranslate.ai. He shares how a “build in public” strategy can help inspire people to follow your journey.

Ramsri talks about his blended approach to building products, marketing, and driving his social media channels. He touches on his most recent project, Supertranslate, which is powered by OpenAI's Whisper for its one-click subtitle generation.

Ramsri shares how to build quickly on large language models like Whisper on a serverless GPU infrastructure and by partnering with developers who can build the front end. He gives his thoughts on the impact of ChatGPT on micro SaaS businesses and companies that have built on GPT-3.

Ramsri outlines some of the movers in the data science space that have propelled innovation, from serverless GPUs and open-source machine learning to vector search companies. He talks about how to form a startup in India, including tips on logistics, operations, hiring, and whether to raise funding or not.

The pod rounds off with Ramsri’s plans for the future, where he aims to eventually settle on one project full-time and sell off the others.
