"I stumbled into sales. I stumbled into Facebook. I stumbled into Singapore and met my wife. And somehow, every stumble took me somewhere better!" — Deepesh Trivedi, CEO at UIB.ai, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal

From a small town in North London called Watford…

to employee number 20 at Facebook's London office…

to the front row of WhatsApp's global expansion…

to now leading a conversational AI company in Singapore —

Deepesh's journey is one of instinct, courage, and beautiful timing!

In this episode of Humans of Telecom, Deepesh opens up about:

🚀 How a recruiter's phone call in 2008 changed everything — and why joining Facebook was the best career decision he ever made

💬 What it was really like working at WhatsApp before it made a single dollar — and helping shape how it monetized for the first time

🎸 The teenage band that almost made it — and the guitar he's been playing since he was eight years old

🌏 How moving to Singapore for a year turned into 15 years — all because of one person he met in the office on week three

⚽ Sundays with his almost-three-year-old son at football — and why fatherhood has been the most rewarding pivot of his life

🏃 A 5 to 7k run around Singapore when the mind gets too loud — and how movement brings him clarity like nothing else can

❤️ And his core belief as a leader — invest in people, do the right thing, and the rest will follow

From Watford to WhatsApp to the world —

Deepesh is proof that the best decisions in life and career are often the ones you stumble into with an open mind and a willing heart!
