The hardest job in business isn’t what you think.

Talk with Kunal Vasudeva Podcast - new episode drops this Friday.

Work keeps changing. AI takes over operations, analytics drives every decision, and hybrid is the new default.

But the first principle never changes: people want meaning, fairness, and growth.

That’s where leadership is truly tested.

In this episode, I sat down with Yuvaraj Srivastava, Group CHRO of MakeMyTrip, to talk about the hardest questions leaders face today:
•⁠ ⁠What do people really expect from their employers?
•⁠ ⁠How do you carry the ethical weight of tough decisions?
•⁠ ⁠What does true mentorship look like when teams depend on you?

This episode is about life at work, leadership, and culture, not functions or titles.
