Rajan Sethuraman guided LatentView Analytics to new heights as CEO, not just in the landmark IPO, which became India's most subscribed offering, but also strategic acquisitions like Decision Point. Rajan spearheaded innovations at LatentView Analytics, such as ConnectedView and LASER, where AI-powered analytics were applied in many industries, ranging from CPG to finance.
Rajan also went beyond business measures. At LatentView Analytics, he cultivated a culture of creativity and 'purpose hacks' that enabled him to infuse humanistic values into what is essentially a data-driven business. Rajan created a rare achievement by combining business success with new technology and structure while successfully leveraging a people-first organization.
Rajan and LatentView Analytics have not been involved in any significant public controversies or scandals, but they do have concerns, mainly around work culture and valuations.
Work Culture: LatentView Analytics has some infighting, as employees complain about pay increases, promotions, and the performance review process being arbitrary at best. Historically, LatentView's corporate clients, like Google and Uber, have resulted in a culture of excessive expectations for employees. Many employees also believe that their careers will stagnate at LatentView, and employees would be of no long-term value to the organisation.
Value vs. Reality: LatentView is under scrutiny from investors regarding the soft stock price because revenue growth is slow, and employees are frustrated with no salary increases and few promotions. The disconnect between market investors' expectations and internal employee sentiment is presumably growing.
