A bit of a different interview this week. In short, because it is not an interview, but the recording of a recent Q&A that my friends and I had while attending the 2019 Points of Light conference in Delhi.
Someone that I had previously tagged as an entrepreneur that I *MUST* interview while in Delhi, Anshu Gupta's insights into delivering and measuring impact, were genuinely some of the most refreshing I have heard in a long time. He says the things that others want to, but don't, and in doing so he captures everyone in the crowd. Even those who do not agree, which given his experience and the way he is able to contextualize his stories, is hard to do.
The session is an hour long, so perhaps best to put it on in the background while getting some other work done, but believe me when I say it is worth every minute.
