From Spark to Flywheel: The hashtag #pifotalks Journey

What began as an impulsive idea with Vipasha has blossomed into #pifotalks, a vibrant initiative for our community. Initially skeptical, I was swept up by Vipasha's persistence and energy. Her dedication turned our brainstorming into action, setting the flywheel in motion.

Viphasha didn’t just stop at her talk. She carried the momentum and connected me with potential speakers. That is how the momentum grew as we connected with inspiring speakers like Arjun Prakash discussing careers and pivots.

Trusting my instincts, I mapped out an 8-month plan for Season 1, transforming skepticism into enthusiasm.

Evolution is key. I’ve shifted focus to make each topic the hero, offering a series of valuable nuggets beyond just talks. Our mission? To freely share knowledge, pay it forward and inspire learning. It's not just about information—it's about sparking action.

As we wrap up our exploration of storytelling and influence with our one and only Rimjhim. I'm excited to continue this monthly journey of giving and growth with our community experts.

That is a wrap on storytelling and influence.
