Episode 51 - Kavitta Ghai

I believe that the very best business ideas come from seeking a solution to a problem, not finding it, having the courage and tenacity to solve the problem yourself, and then marketing it to others who would benefit from the solution as well. This is exactly what Kavitta Ghai did after saying to herself one too many times, "There has got to be a better way!" and deciding she was going to find it. Kavitta is not your typical entrepreneur... she founded her company, Nectir, as a college student who wasn't quite able to connect and thrive in the standard educational model as someone with autism and ADHD. However, one pivotal instructor changed her perspective by changing the learning environment, and suddenly, everything felt right. She excelled in that class, and set out to provide this same environment for students around the world. Kavitta Ghai is creating communities within classrooms and building the campus of the future. This insightful conversation has certainly changed my view about the future of education.
