My guest today is Anvi Shah Tayal, a brilliant entrepreneur from Bombay who is working with her father and managing their family business. Anvi has a degree in microbiology and medical anthropology with a minor in entrepreneurship from the University of Michigan, and an MBA from the Indian School of Business.  Today’s focus is on the importance of the people we have in our lives, how we learn and grow from them, thereby becoming better people ourselves - both in private and professional life.

My guest today is Anshul Kamath, an old friend of mine. Today’s focus is mindfulness and self-awareness, which are tricky topics to touch on because of peoples' perceptions and the fact that some listeners might have some prior experience with meditation, while others might not. Not only is mindfulness a highly relevant topic (because its all about managing our own emotions and decluttering the mind), but it’s also a growing market. A bit of background - Anshul was working a finance role in the London office of one of the world largest oil and gas companies, and is now on the brink of launching his own meditation and mindfulness app called Evolve (https://www.evolveinc.in/). We do touch on things like quitting the rat race, but there’s also some highly actionable advice for everyone to try out.

Sam and Ekta are a husband-wife duo based in Bombay. They met at MBA college, got married and entered the corporate world around 10 years ago. Fast forward to today, and they are among the most sought after wedding photographers in the country. They run their own wedding photography and film making business called Sam & Ekta (samandekta.com). I crossed paths with Sam when he was transitioning out of his corporate career, and when I was transitioning into mine in late 2015. Their philosophy on life, and I wholeheartedly agree, is to always look out for and trust serendipity.
