Rising Through The Ranks Podcast | E04

In recent years, tech startups and raising funds has been glorified and jobs have been vilified. Even when the fact of the matter is, 8 or 9 out of the 10 people around you are working at jobs. Moreover, most people may not even know about high-paying jobs that can be pursued which would pay more than many small businesses.

Also, there is generally very little attention on SMEs, while these companies, which are generally considered "boring businesses" like construction or furniture businesses, contribute to more than 1/4th of India's GDP.

So we're creating a podcast where we discuss with people at high rungs on the job ladder and owners of SMEs and MSMEs about their life and work.

We hope we can provide value to people who are interested in these fields: students who would be coming into the workforce, people who want to climb the ladder at their current or future jobs and people who might want to start their own business but don't really know much about tech.

Last time we talked about Mr Sanjiv Jindal and his journey in the field of finance and accounting, this time we sat down with Ms Toral Shah, who hails from Mumbai and is an interior designer. In her professional career, she has associated with 100s of common Indian households catering to their house design, furnishing, etc. needs. She has over 25+ years of experience being a freelancer.

We talked about how she has handled work, home and clients for more than 2 decades.

We hope you enjoy and learn from it. And do let us know if you have any feedback or people you think would be a good fit for the premise of our podcast. Anyway, you can read more interesting articles around the finance world from me here. Subscribe for free to receive more posts like this every day!
