Born out of a consultant’s irritation with endlessly formatting slide decks, Gamma has grown into a tool that found global momentum during the generative-AI shift. Its writing-first philosophy and redesigned user experience helped it catch on especially in India and parts of Asia well before the company spent anything on formal marketing. In this episode of ET in the Valley, host Himanshi Lohchab speaks with Grant Lee, co-founder and CEO of Gamma. Lee outlines the company’s international adoption, its expanding ambitions beyond presentations, and the prosumer community that has fueled its rise. He also discusses Gamma’s work culture built around a lean, generalist-heavy team, deliberate hiring, and a conscious move away from Silicon Valley’s intense work norms. The conversation also touches on the AI talent race, visa-related hiring challenges, and the skillsets that will matter in a future where managing AI becomes part of everyone’s job.
