Unlocking Human Potential | Shobhit Banga @ Josh Talks

"My loyalty is not to Josh but to unlocking human potential" - Shobhit Banga

A school drop out, a state level Tennis player, India’s youngest qualifier of the elite “Paris - Brest - Paris” International cycling event, founder of two NGO’s - Sach & Half Glass Full, a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur and the Co-Founder of Josh Talks - Shobhit Banga can be described in many ways. But what defines him best is his quest for unlocking human potential. 

In this episode of Founder Thesis we sit down for a chat with Shobhit to learn about his fascinating off beat journey right from his small town life of Kullu, to pursuing sports as a career goal - cycling 600kms non stop, his experience at the Harvard Summer School, starting Josh Talks, losing focus & finally re-connecting with his mission of inspiring young minds. 

An incredible journey with lots to learn from. Here are key takeaways from our conversation with Shobhit: 

• How growing up in a small town is advantageous to entrepreneurship. 
• How quitting is harder than it seems. 
• Starting and running an NGO.
• How Josh Talks was monetized.
• Chasing your purpose or mission through your startup.
