JIVINITI Connecting the Dots returns with another episode this June 2022, with the vegan entrepreneurs mother and son, Radha Eswar and Dr. Achyuthan Eswar. Arguably the world's 1st Whole Food Plant-Based enterprise based on the tenets of fractal entrepreneurship, Achyuthan launched Sampoorna Ahara in Bengaluru (India) to address the chronic illness epidemic faced by the country and prior to that, his ideas and venture were incubated at Radha's "Fractal Entrepreneurship Foundation''. The family has experienced the impact of chronic illness first hand and altered their relationship with animals, and changed the course of their academic and professional lives. In this episode, as we connect the dots between personal, public and planetary health - JIVINITI founder, Nivi Jaswal speaks to Radha and Achyuthan about the concept of developing "fractals", inspired by Mother Nature, scaling up Whole Food Plant-based businesses with an emphasis on Sampoorna Ahara as a brilliant example of that core idea.

We dedicate this episode of JIVINITI Connecting the Dots to the emergent archetype of "Man - The Game Changer". Kuntal Joisher climbed Mt. Everest - not once, but twice - and he did it while following the vegan ethic to the tee! With no history or background in sport, athletics and climbing, as a young Indian engineer working in the United States, Kuntal experienced a deeply tranformative shift that changed not only how he ate but also how he viewed his role in the world. Now back in India and living his calling, Kuntal is a vegan activist, a motivational speaker, a nutrition coach and then much more! In this interview with Nivi Jaswal, Founder - JIVINITI and The Virsa Foundation, Kuntal Joisher helps us connect the dots between Mountaineering, Veganism, Compassion, Indian Vegetarianism, "Taking a Stand in Life", Public Health and Planetary Health.

During this episode of JIVINITI - Connecting the Dots, JIVINITI founder Nivi Jaswal talked about plant-powered athleticism and accomplishments of marathon proportions, quite literally, by the very inspirational Dr. Akil Taher -- who experienced cardiovascular disease in his 60s and took charge of his body, mind and spirit. A resurgent physician, the author of "Open Heart", marathoner, mountain climber, motivational speaker and mentor to thousands, Dr. Taher's story is an amazing testimony to plant-powered resilience. thevirsafoundation.org
