About the Show
You may not expect that a country like Iran could possibly be home to high tech startups and scrappy entrepreneurs who build successful companies. In spite of severe sanctions, rising inflation rates and restrictive conditions, there are Iranians who have built major tech companies that solve some of the country’s biggest problems.
This is Tehran Disrupted, a podcast about the brave founders of some of Iran’s biggest companies. In each episode, host Hamid Shojaee tells the fascinating stories of how these men and women found success and, ultimately, disrupted Tehran.
