Episode 1 - Culture doesn’t scale unless you do it on purpose.

That idea shaped our very first episode of The Skeptic & The Changemaker.
In this kickoff conversation, host Susan P. Chen sits down with VJ Anand. A seasoned people leader who’s helped scale teams at Visa, Gojek, and high-growth startups across the region.
They dive into the unspoken truths of leadership:

•⁠  ⁠Why growing fast almost always means growing messy
•⁠  ⁠How to protect your culture without locking it in the past
•⁠  ⁠The underrated power of a beginner’s mindset
•⁠  ⁠Why clarity not perks is the real foundation of trust
Whether you’re a founder, HR leader, or team manager, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, culture, and intentional growth.
