Lessons From A Medical Doctor Turned Entrepreneur... and Millionaire

Описание

On this special New Year's episode, we sit down with Dr. Ritesh Malik, an Indian medical doctor turned entrepreneur. Ritesh realized he didn't feel fulfilled as a doctor, took a huge leap, and shifted careers. In 2015, he founded Innov8 Coworking, a startup that just four years later, was acquired by Softbank-backed OYO, an Indian multinational hospitality chain. Today, Innov8 is a significant coworking player across India – offering flexible offices in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru – and Ritesh is a millionaire.As a young leader in India’s digital startup ecosystem, Ritesh now plays an active role in backing over 125 startups, and investing in public equities and real estate. In this intimate conversation, we discuss his major learnings, the values that guide his life and decisions, and why one of his superpowers is having JOMO or the joy of missing out. My final assignment of the year is to leave you with some inspiration as you enter 2026.Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or via your favorite podcast app: https://onassignmentwithme.transistor.fm/Follow @natashya_g on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X and Facebook.Support independent journalism and this podcast: buymeacoffee.com/natashya_gTo know more about my work, go to natashyagutierrez.com
