We took no salary for 3 to 4 years: Avataar.ai co-founder Aluru

Avataar.ai co-founder Sravanth Aluru said on a podcast that he took a big risk by "leaving a very cushy job, investing my money" to start Avataar. "Me and my co-founder took no salary for the first three or four years," he said, calling it an R&D learning exercise. "It's easy to look back and say, 'Oh, I was visionary'," he added.
