I Woke Up in a Bathroom: The Brutal Reality of Indian Boarding School

from We Live to Build

For CEO Vikram Saxena, the brutal reality of an Indian boarding school was a survival for the fittest environment where he once woke up with his entire bed in the middle of a bathroom. In this deeply personal interview, Vikram reveals how the hardships of his childhood gave him the profound observational skills and empathy he uses to lead his 100-person company today. You will learn his father's powerful advice to find his true nature instead of just a career, and why he believes in putting his employees on a higher pedestal than his customers.
