The thrill of nurturing an organization from its inception is one that many dreams of. Aspiring to create a change and a better tomorrow, our guest for today’s episode Vijaya Balaji, has experienced this thrill not once but twice.

She is the Managing Director & CEO of  Toolbox India. Along with being the Foundation Managing Partner of Social Lens. Two purpose-driven organizations that are paving the way for a brighter future.

Key highlights:

• An entrepreneurial mindset teaches one to be unselfish because it places the organization in front of everything else
• Success ironically brings in a lot of self-doubts too 
• Passion just by itself can be overrated
• People want their lives to be a collection of experiences
• Loyalty is not measured in the number of years you give to an organization but in what you make of your time there
• We better adopt a growth mindset and not a fixed mindset
• Agility is a superpower
• By asking for less you are demonstrating to the other person that this is where you are pegging your worth to be
• Devote some time to make a wiser, informed decision
• Mulling over things and regrets don’t get us anywhere, accepting ourselves does
• Being a perfectionist is one thing, being pragmatic is another and far more important
