In this episode, I speak with Gul Rukh Rahman, a woman whose life and work cross continents, cultures, and the fault lines of global politics.Born in Pakistan and raised in countries including Libya and Saudi Arabia, Gul moved to the US for university before settling in Europe 15 years ago. She grew up in conservative Peshawar in the protective bubble of a military family, yet in a region marked by instability and violence, including bomb blasts during Eid celebrations. Family expectations came with tightly controlled choices for education and relationships, leading Gul to go on a hunger strike to avoid dentistry school.Culturally hard to categorise and politically impossible to intimidate, Gul reflects on identity as a woman and a Muslim in the aftermath of 9/11, her decision to wear the hijab as a political statement, and the circumstances that prompted her to take it off. She chose activism over the safety of a corporate career, driven by a commitment to speak uncomfortable truths.Now teaching at the University of Geneva, Gul works far beyond the classroom, advising philanthropists and nonprofits, investigating where the money really goes, and exposing the darker side of “doing good.” We dive into silent philanthropy, the geopolitics shaping global giving, and how vast wealth from the Global South still flows into bank accounts in Switzerland and Dubai while the South continues to “beg” the North.This conversation blends biography, political critique, and a fearless look at philanthropy's contradictions. Gul doesn't pull her punches: and that's exactly why you should listen.Connect with Gul on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/gul-rukh-rahman-1b74604.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

Shoanak (Sean) Mallapurkar is the founder and CEO of RecruitCRM, a complete CRM and business management system for global staffing companies and recruiting agencies. He started the company in 2017 with his father, a technical expert who had experience as a senior executive in large staffing companies. Sean handled customer-facing jobs in sales, success, and product management, and his Dad managed engineering, finance, and marketing. They started in Pune, India, but both Sean and his father moved to Dubai in 2023 for lifestyle and tax benefits. RecruitCRM employs over 150 remote employees in India to serve thousands of customers in more than 100 countries. RecruitCRM revenues grew quickly to nearly $10 million ARR in 2025. Their product suite includes CRM, billing, applicant tracking, AI resume parsing, financial management, and more. The company is very profitable and growing steadily (Rule of 70) and the co-owners/co-founders have no intention of selling. They see a steady path to a $100 million revenue business as an independent company. Quote from Soanak (Sean) Mallapurkar, founder and CEO of RecruitCRM “The one thing that really worked for us was keeping costs extremely low and having over three years of capital runway. That wasn't millions of dollars for us. It was $100,000. And we didn't even spend it. We only spent about $80K before we started selling and got to breakeven. “When you have enough time,you can you can do more things, you can try more things, and make it happen. If you only have a year to succeed, you're screwed. Get through the really hard stuff and get to a million in revenue “Then resist the urge to raise capital until you are at a million dollars in revenue. Then ask yourself if you need it. If you can resist the urge to raise capital, a lot of opportunities open up to you. And it's a very different financial outcome than having investors.” Links Soanak (Sean) Mallapurkar on LinkedIn RecruitCRM on LinkedIn RecruitCRM website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.
