    Engineering with Heart: Changing lives worldwide one Washing Machine at a time with Dr Navjot Sawhney

    What happens when a world‑class engineer walks away from an excellent corporate career to solve a hidden global crisis? In this episode of Little Podcast Big Conversations, we sit down with Dr Navjot Sawhney (Nav), Founder of The Washing Machine Project. Nav shares the deeply personal journey that took him from the labs of Dyson to the villages of India and beyond - all sparked by a promise he made to a neighbour named Divya. Together, we explore: The Spark - the moment Nav realised that hand‑washing clothes is a huge but overlooked barrier to education, health and economic independence for millions of women and girls worldwide. Humanitarian Engineering - why meaningful innovation isn’t about flashy technology, but about solving real‑world problems with empathy and humility. The Values - how Nav’s upbringing and core beliefs shaped his mission‑led approach to leadership and business. Problem vs. Solution - why Nav believes you should fall in love with the problem, not the solution - and how this mindset prevents ego‑driven engineering. Community‑Centred Design - what it really means to put the end‑user at the heart of design, and why listening is the most powerful tool we have. The Goal - how The Washing Machine Project is restoring time, dignity and opportunity to families across the globe. This is a must‑listen for anyone who believes business and engineering can have a soul — and that one person’s commitment can truly ripple across the world.

The Outsider Advantage: Amardeep’s personal story and how he navigated unfamiliar, high-stakes worlds by leaning into his unique perspective. The Mastery DNA: We dive into the mindset of resourcefulness, overcoming limiting beliefs, and the resilience needed to push past the "you can't" narrative. Building Your Ecosystem: The critical importance of networking and how to become the person that others actually want to work with and support. Establishing Credibility: Practical advice on building authority from scratch and managing the heavy weight of expectations from others.
