What if your second act could be even more meaningful than your first? Vasu Tolia is an extraordinary woman whose heart-led career path took her from medicine to art. She is a retired pediatrician who followed a quiet nudge that turned into a bold second act. After decades of caring for others through medicine, she channels that same compassion and creativity into her artwork. Her vibrant, socially conscious pieces are designed to inspire and heal—to bring beauty, reflection, and emotional comfort into the world. What I love most about our conversation is how honest and encouraging Vasu is about what it means to start over. We talked about fear, perfectionism, and the courage it takes to trust your inner voice. She reminded me (and hopefully you!) that creativity can be a powerful tool for healing—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Vasu shared how her work now lives in hospitals and educational spaces, offering peace in stressful places. We also explored how her medical background gave her transferable skills—empathy, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving—that show up in her art daily. If you're ready for a more creative path or simply curious about the connection of creativity + well-being, this episode is for you. Vasu's story is a beautiful reminder that the most fulfilling paths are the ones led by the heart.

The mandate of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was claimed as a victory by both the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). Even though BJP's brute majority in the Lok Sabha was dented, the return of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third consecutive term was portrayed as a stupendous victory by supporters of the BJP. This is notwithstanding the fact that the stability of the NDA government is now dependent on allies who have displayed temperamental behaviour in the past. The INDIA Alliance was also buoyed by the mandate as it increased its numbers substantially. The Indian National Congress, the leading component of the INDIA bloc, almost doubled its numbers, while other key constituents of this disparate coalition robustly challenged the might of the BJP election apparatus. Even though the INDIA bloc could not gain power in Delhi, its combative fight against the BJP/ NDA was lauded because – as many astute observers pointed out – the 2024 elections were not seen as a level playing ground. Starting from this point, Yogendra Yadav and Dr. Vasu HV will discuss some of the implications of this mandate on the future of India. While Yadav, who is a well-known political and social activist, travelled all over the country tracking the election and even accurately called it, Dr. Vasu played a similar role in Karnataka leading the research on pre-poll surveys that broadly captured the sentiments of the people of the State. Thus, the two panelists will provide their crucial insights based on their deep and credible engagement with political behaviour at the national and state level. Critics of the BJP have sharply and consistently stated that the idea of India has been imperilled in the past 10 years when the saffron party, buttressed by its parliamentary heft, meddled with the institutional framework weakening the republican foundations on which our country was founded. Will the gain in the numbers by the political opposition mean that the political discourse in the country, that had discernibly shifted rightwards over the past decade, gradually be tugged back to a central pole position that perhaps, more accurately reflects the civilizational ethos of a diverse and complex country like India? Early signs indicate that the political opposition has been catalysed by the mandate and is rearing to take the BJP/ NDA head on but how will these diverse political actors maintain their cohesion considering that a slew of state elections will take place where they will be pitted against one another? In this episode of BIC Talks, Psephologist and Activist, Yogendra Yadav and Journalist, Dr. Vasu HV will be in conversation with Journalist, Vikhar Ahmed. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in July 2024. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favorite podcast app!

Vasu and Kate briefly chat about everyone's favorite (or least favorite) part of Extemp: CX! From clumsy cross stories to some ways you can practice, enjoy this short chatty episode!
Welcome back to First Principles. I'm your host, Rohin Dharmakumar. Thank you for listening to us. We're thankful that you choose to spend a few hours with us each week! Today we have a “supercut” episode. Normally our conversations go deep with one specific guest, but every now and then we zoom out and go broad by stitching together a multi-guest conversation. And the invisible thread that connects the conversations with 5 founders we picked for today is company culture. What's the best way to empower your talent? What do founders expect from employees? And how do they build their company culture? This is where it gets interesting. In most cases, our guests have differing opinions on these subjects. But while putting this episode together, we kept encountering one word – or a substitute for it, in some cases. And that was, patience. Patience in the way that they give feedback to their employees. Patience in investing in your employees. Building this patience not just within themselves, but the entire organization. There are some very interesting perspectives in this episode on how these founders approach and practice patience, among other principles of leadership and management. Here's a rundown of our guests in this episode: First up, we have Krish Subramanian of Chargebee, who has a simple and powerful dictum, “Move the chairs and get out of the way of good people.” At Chargebee, you wouldn't fit in if you limit yourself to a strict hierarchy – he sees employees more as his peer group. Next, we have Varun Dua of Acko Insurance, who spoke about growing in a company from an employee's point of view. One of the things he told me was that when you find something you love, you should be at it for 10-15 years. Because it is the payoff of years of perseverance that is fruitful – and not the short term gains you make along the way. Yashish Dahiya, the co-founder of PolicyBazaar, was quite candid in our chat. He spoke about why an employee who spent five years at PolicyBazaar is considered a new employee. He also went on to explain why he distances himself from making hiring decisions. Next, you'll hear Archit Gupta of Clear. When talking about employees, Archit was very specific. He told us why investing into the ‘sincere',‘earnest' people in the organization is necessary, and why uplifting them is important. Lastly, MN Srinivasu or Vasu, as he's often called, spoke to me how he built BillDesk by essentially teaching the first set of employees to be well-versed in the line of business BillDesk was creating. This is a part of BillDesk's culture. There is a broad belief in patience, at Billdesk. Why does patience matter? What allows his employees to be patient? And how do you find meaning in practicing it? This is First Principles—The Ken's weekly leadership podcast.The Ken is India's first subscriber-only business journalism platform.

Vasu Chandrasekaran, VP of real-world data and analytics at Ontada, provides an electronic health record platform, iKnowMed, used by community oncology providers to practice evidence-based and patient-centered medicine better. They also work closely with the US Oncology Network to improve access to new therapies and clinical trials. Using real-world data to generate real-world evidence allows Ontada, in partnership with biopharma companies, to drive drug discovery and development, conduct more diverse trials, and better understand the effectiveness of treatments. Vasu explains, "Community oncology is where most of the cancer care happens. We enable those physicians in the community to practice evidence-based and patient-centered medicine through our EHR platform. Our clinical decision support system and other workflows built into the EHR platform enable physicians to practice oncology and deliver precise care to patients in the community. That's the first thing I would say. That's one of the offerings." "And secondly, because we are part of McKesson, we have a very close partnership with The US Oncology Network, which is the largest network of community oncology practices. We can work very closely with the physicians in The Network to understand what is working well for them in the technology and what needs to be improved. This close partnership enables us to be agile and make changes to the technology that reflects the standard of care." "Lastly, on the life sciences side, we work with biopharma companies and use real-world data coming from the routine care delivery, the data about the patient's health status, demographics, diagnoses, testing, treatments, etc. We use that to generate real-world evidence that can be used to help understand the real-world effectiveness of treatments, and that can be used to help accelerate new therapies to patients." #Ontada #RealWorldData #Oncology #Cancer #CancerCare #DrugDevelopment ontada.com Download the transcript here

BillDesk does not have a CEO.Instead, it just has three co-founders: MN Srinivasu, Ajay Kaushal and Karthik Ganapathy. And they don't have separate designations.In fact, BillDesk has no formal hierarchies or designations. People are hired as members of a team. That's it.More than two decades after they started the company, the three co-founders continue to work from a single desk in the same room.For a 23-year-old organisation that handles over $150 billion in payments, BillDesk is surprisingly lean at just over 800 employees. And that's not the only thing contrarian about it. It has been profitable for over a decade and a half now. When I asked Vasu—that's how others usually address Srinivasu—how old he was, his answer was, “BillDesk is 23, I am 55.”For this episode, we threw in many new questions based on the subscriber feedback I'd been receiving.What often keeps founders going is the urge to prove something. What is it for Vasu?How has his view of a leadership team evolved?How does he prefer to be “managed upward” by his reporteesHow has what excites or challenges him changedManaging people isn't what founders have in when they start out. And yet, it is the most important thing that determines their success. How has Vasu's managing style or philosophy evolved since he started Billdesk in 2000?Over the entire conversation, we also talk about:Why BillDesk doesn't handle person-to-person payments, for instance, via UPI.How the three co-founders hired and coached their first 100 employeesWhy BillDesk does not incentivise chasing glory metricsWhy the three co-founders continue to work from a single table even todaySnigdha breaks down the story of Disney's decline, on our business podcast Daybreak.
