Is there really a "right age" to start something meaningful? How do ancient concepts of Dharma guide modern business ethics?

In this inspiring episode of TLL, we sit down with Ashutosh, a pioneer who transformed India's pharmaceutical retail landscape. Defying those who said he was "too late in life," Ashutosh shares his remarkable journey from starting with just 100 rupees in the 1980s to revolutionizing how medicines reach people.

He opens up about why age is no barrier to innovation, the personal nature of ethics in business, and how the timeless wisdom of Dharma remains deeply relevant in today's corporate world.

• Why he disagrees that "if you're young, you won't know"
