“My loyalty is not to Josh but to unlocking human potential” – Shobhit Banga
A school drop out, a state level Tennis player, India’s youngest qualifier of the elite “Paris – Brest – Paris” International cycling event, founder of two NGO’s – Sach & Half Glass Full, a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur and the CEO & Founder of Josh Talks – Shobhit Banga can be described in many ways. But what defines him best is his quest for unlocking human potential.
In this episode of Founder Thesis we sit down for a chat with Shobhit to learn about his fascinating off beat journey right from his small town life of Kullu, to pursuing sports as a career goal – cycling 600kms non stop, his experience at the Harvard Summer School, starting Josh Talks, losing focus & finally re-connecting with his mission of inspiring young minds.
An incredible journey with lots to learn from. Here are key takeaways from our conversation with Shobhit:
- How growing up in a small town is advantageous to entrepreneurship.
- How quitting is harder than it seems.
- Starting and running an NGO.
- How Josh Talks was monetized.
