# The story behind Document360 – podcast with founder Saravana Kumar

> In a [previous post](https://idratherbewriting.com/blog/document-360-review/), I explored how [Document360](https://document360.io/?ref=idratherbewriting), a new cloud-based documentation platform, handles API documentation scenarios. This time, I decided to record a podcast with Saravana Kumar, founder of Document360, to get the behind-the-scenes story about how Document360 came about, what's driving their fast pace of development, and their roadmap for the future.
