Founders Talk Series
Founders Talk - 10 | From Failures to Freedom: How your biggest lessons in life are the ones that take you backwards, before moving you forwards
Saturday, August 08, 2020 | 5pm to 6pm IST
Vandana Saxena Poria | Chief Alarmist at The Human Alarm Clock & Co. and Advisor - ICAEW India
Media heavily focuses on exceptional people and their success stories. Rarely do we get to hear the failure journey of successful people. Vandana will talk about her extraordinary life: from a Radio DJ in London to a Chartered Accountant in Romania, and from a professional to a serial entrepreneur today. She will share her failures and successes in this session. She will cover lessons from mis-estimating the market need, time taken for product development, hiring the right people for the wrong reasons, and hiring the wrong people for the right reasons. Join us for a roller coaster ride!
