What happens when a founder finally lets go?

From humble beginnings to global healthcare impact, Sanjay shares his journey through leadership, acquisition, and reinvention — now as an investor, philanthropist, and full-time dad. 

He opens up about the bittersweet experience of stepping away, the challenges of wealth management post-exit, and how purpose and humility guide his decisions today. 

With reflections on success, identity, and legacy, this episode is both a masterclass in transition and a moving story about what really matters.
