Starting Up with your Spouse: Risk or Reward? | STWAJ S3E8

Startup Table with AJ | S3E8 Out Now on YouTube

What happens when the person you’re building a life with is also the person you’re building a company with?

Marriage is already built on trust and partnership. Bringing a startup into the mix creates a unique journey of making decisions, and growing together as co-founders.

In this episode, Archana Jahagirdar, Founder and Managing Partner, Rukam Capital sits down with three founder couples: Ajuka Mahajan and Santosh Sharma of BookMyJet, Chaitsi Ahuja and Zashank Bhatia of Brown Living, and Roopika Anand and Rakesh Anand of Organic Theo, to discuss what it really takes to build a business with your life partner.

The conversation goes beyond the obvious advantages of knowing each other well. It explores the harder questions of who gets the final say, when do you stop talking about work, how do you separate family from governance, and what do investors look for when backing married co-founders?
