Anupam also reflected on the discussion, saying, “I have always been a big fan of Apple and to meet Tim was a phenomenal moment for me. We connected over our approach to building high-quality products. The resonance of ethos was surreal. He encouraged us to build products for higher age groups and we are super excited to embrace this challenge.”
