In this episode I connect the dots of innovation and entrepreneurship with Sanjay Bhargava, a Disruptive Innovation Evangelist.
Early on he worked in India, Thailand and America in financial services before he joined Elon Musk as employee number 7 in x.com later renamed PayPal. He left the U.S. and went back to India in 2003 as an investor and disruptive innovation expert. In October 2021 Elon and Sanjay’s path cross again and Sanjay is taking over the responsibility of Country Director India for SpaceX leading Starlink
In our discussion Sanjay tells stories of disruptive innovation individually, as a business, and as a country. He shares his passion for upward mobility and ways of working towards prosperity.
