About this episode

Join me for one of the most inspiring and hard-hitting conversations I’ve ever had — featuring Suhasini Sampath, the woman who turned a kitchen-table idea into Yoga Bar, a brand that redefined India’s healthy eating landscape and went on to be acquired for over ₹500 crores. This episode is a masterclass in ambition, resilience, and rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship.Suhasini Sampath’s journey began not in a boardroom but in her mother’s kitchen — blending oats, nuts, and sheer determination. From there, she went on to co-found Yoga Bar with her sister, growing it into one of India’s most trusted health food brands. But behind the billion-dollar valuation and the ITC acquisition lies a story of self-belief, rejections turned into redirections, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Suhasini’s story isn’t just about business — it’s about mindset, values, and the courage to dream bigger than your circumstances.Conversation Highlights💡 How a homemade snack idea became a ₹500 crore brand🔥 The mindset shift that helped her scale — from “100 crores” to limitless ambition🧘🏽‍♀️ Why chasing *excellence* beats chasing *numbers*💬 The emotional reality of selling your company and staying true to your values🌍 Building a made-in-India brand that competes on global shelves💰 Lessons in money management, independence, and investing fearlessly💔 The near-burnout moment that almost made her give it all up👭 The power of sisterhood and family support in entrepreneurship💪🏽 How Indian women can lead with strength, logic, and self-reliance✨ The one philosophy that helped her through rejection: “It’s never about me — it’s about the situation.”If you’ve ever dreamt of turning your small idea into something extraordinary — or wondered how to stay grounded while building wealth and legacy — this episode will speak to you.
