The Souls Behind This President's Award-Winning Startup

Описание: Before Saarathee became an award-winning inclusion startup, there were two people rebuilding their lives.

This is the story of Richa Bansal and Arjun Vishwanathan — before the company, before the recognition.

Before Saarathee became one of India’s most credible employment ecosystems for persons with disabilities — and before it received a National Award for Best Placement Agency for Persons with Disabilities, conferred by the President of India in December 2025 — there were two individuals navigating life resets.

In this episode, I travel to Dehradun to sit down with Richa Bansal and Arjun Vishwanathan, the co-founders of Saarathee — but we don’t begin with the company.

We begin with the founder's lives that shaped this "For-Profit" company:
• failed marriages
• career burnout
• ambition and its costs
• therapy, loneliness, and starting over in your late thirties

Part 1 of this two-part Saarathee Podcast focuses entirely on the people behind the purpose — their upbringing, value systems, emotional turning points, and the lived experiences that quietly shaped the company long before it existed.

Because meaningful companies are rarely born out of spreadsheets.
They are born out of lived experience.
