Australia's First Black-Led Millennial Leaders Podcast. Est 2017.




Dear fellow minority founder,



Welcome to PEERS - a podcast by BIPOC founders for BIPOC founders. Join me, Nigerian-Greek Australian and Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Michelle Akhidenor, for soul-enriching conversations with peers.



Each week, I sit down with a young award-winning BIPOC founder and deep dive into their entrepreneurial journey. I ask questions like: Where did you grow up? How has your cultural background helped or hindered you along the way? How have you learnt to navigate white spaces in business? What is it really like to be a Person of Color in business?



These conversations are honest, vulnerable and above all, human. My mission with this show is simple: to amplify the voices of minority founders worldwide, impacting 1 million BIPOC millennials by 2027.



Thank you for joining me on this journey.




In Your Service,

Michelle

#248. The Power of Instinct and Embracing the Unpredictable with BIPOC Co-Founder of Spacebasic & Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Madhavi Shankar

Recognise, realise, and move on. That’s how this week’s guest tackles the bad stuff that comes with running a business. And whilst many of us would rather avoid the bad, Madhavi Shankar would much rather run headfirst into it; because to her, risks and mistakes are what make things happen. 


In this episode of PEERS, we’re joined by Madhavi Shankar, CEO and Co-Founder of SpaceBasic to talk about being okay with not following the crowd, how to get better at trusting your instincts, and the value of taking risks and being open to uncertainty. 



About Madhavi: 

Madhavi Shankar is the Co-Founder and CEO of SpaceBasic, an app that helps hostels, universities and student housing communities automate everyday communication and tasks to create a more connected environment. In 2019, Madhavi was named as one of the Top 60 Women Transforming India by the Indian Government and the United Nations.


In 2020, Madhavi was featured on the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 Enterprise Technology list.
