On Episode 16, we discuss Nimmi's early childhood and how that influenced her choices, early on. We discuss her MBA experience at Harvard (and why everybody from Harvard resists mentioning the name of their institution) and the cool corporate jobs that she held at Goldman Sachs and American Express. Finally, we dive into what trigerred the inception of Blue Flag Project-an all-purpose sustainable men's shoewear.
