BrowserStack's founders, Ritesh Arora and Nakul Aggarwal first met as roommates at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. They had many differences, but a uniting passion for solving difficult technology challenges. After two failed attempts at getting a startup off the ground, they uncovered a problem yet to be solved: engineers needed to efficiently test their applications across every browser and device.

BrowserStack was born. For six years, Ritesh and Nakul bootstrapped the company without any outside capital. Accel led BrowserStack's Series A in 2018 as the first investor in the company. In the years since, BrowserStack has grown into a breakout leader in software & application testing. We sat down with Nakul to discuss the following journey and his secrets to scaling.
