About Podcast
India is only one of two countries in the world with over a billion people in population. Competition in this environment can be fast-paced, cutthroat, and toxic. But, as Jahnavi Gurjer proved, it’s possible to rise to the top of your field without engaging in negative behavior.
Jahnavi is the co-founder of Vital Science Consults, a company that is recognized in the top 10 organizational change management companies in India. Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2015 when she left her role as the lead of human resources in a large, multinational organization.
Starting, building, and scaling her company came with significant challenges – her idea to build a company that drives bottom-line results through a unique blend of empathy, compassion, and people development was initially met with extreme resistance. However, she landed her first investor once she researched, quantified, and proved the impact that her business model could offer to companies.
In this scale tale, Jahnavi talks about the psychographics required to go beyond business processes and metrics to build a solid foundation for sustainable growth and scale. You’ll learn how to:
- Master the art of overcoming challenges in your entrepreneurial journey through introspection and data,
- Unlock the key to building an organizational culture change that fosters growth and innovation in your business,
- Invest in people development to ensure stability and sustainability through an organization’s evolution,
- Tap into your inner drive and resilience to pursue your ideas, and more!
Jahnavi also reveals a new tool she and her company are developing that empowers project managers to evaluate team compatibility as a predictor for productivity, efficiency, and overall success.
