He Sold His Company to Break Poverty Forever | Dr. Abraham George
What would make a millionaire give up everything to rebuild lives from scratch? 🌍
In this powerful episode of the Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Shahid Durrani sits down with Dr. Abraham George, founder of the Shanti Bhavan Children's Project — a revolutionary school changing the future of India's poorest children.
After selling his finance company to a Fortune 500 firm, Dr. George made a life-changing decision: to dedicate his wealth, time, and expertise to break the cycle of poverty through education. His school, featured in Netflix's Daughters of Destiny, now sends children from slums and one-room huts to Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford.
💡 In this episode, you'll discover:
How Dr. George turned tragedy into purpose after a near-death military accident.
Why 25 years in Wall Street taught him that business success means nothing without impact.
The hidden truth about India's education inequality — and how one man is changing it.
The leadership mindset behind "business with a heart."
How empathy, mission, and management combine to create sustainable change.
🎯 Key Takeaway: True entrepreneurship isn't just about profits — it's about purpose, compassion, and creating leaders who lift others.
🎬 Featured Topics: 🔹 Social entrepreneurship 🔹 Poverty eradication 🔹 Leadership and mindset 🔹 Business for social good 🔹 Emotional intelligence in leadership 🔹 Real stories of purpose-driven transformation
✨ Watch till the end to see how Dr. George is building a new generation of leaders — and how you can be part of this global movement for change.
