Ravi Kikan: Building Startups on Failure, Frugality, and Fierce Honesty

Ravi Kikan argues that startups don’t fail from ambition they fail from unlearned discipline, unpaid validation, and leaders who stop evolving.

Sandeep Suri: Redesigning Leadership from the Inside Out

Sandeep Suri, a veteran corporate leader turned executive coach and angel investor, redefines leadership not as control or performance theatre, but as deliberately creating psychological safety, trust, and clarity—enabling people to think bravely and grow without fear. Drawing from decades scaling global operations at Fidelity, Dell, and GE, he now helps mid-career professionals escape invisibility by redesigning their trajectory around impact over activity, and coaches senior executives to lead with presence, empathy, and protected energy rather than louder voices or sharper decks. His enduring belief: true legacy is never titles or numbers, it is the quiet behaviors that outlive you, the trust that scales, and the human resonance that continues long after you’ve left the room.
