Helping people engage with ideas and information is how Shantanu Narayen, President and COO of Adobe describes what his company does best. Adobe recently completed 25 years and is expected to make about $3 billion in revenue this year.
I caught up with Shantanu, who was on a whistle-stop tour of Bangalore, to find out about Adobe’s Rich Internet Application (RIA) initiative and how it is working wight the open source community. Shantanu also talks about innovation, and how Adobe nurtures innovation through its Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) program.
Prior to Adobe Shantanu co-founded Pictra, a digital photo-sharing startup in the late 1990s. Before that he worked with Apple and Silicon Graphics.
Note: A couple of weeks after this interview was recorded in Bangalore, Shantanu was named as CEO and a board member of Adobe.
Tune back in for Part-2 where Shantanu talks about Adobe’s mobile strategy and about Adobe India.
