🎙️ Welcome to the sixth episode of The Corporate Venturing Podcast!

How do you build new ventures inside a global corporate—and still move with startup speed?

In this episode, I sit down with Jasdeep Sawhney (Managing Director) and Dan Northover (Venture Principal) from InMotion Ventures, the venture studio of Jaguar Land Rover, to explore how they’re building successful ventures that orbit the corporate mothership—strategically aligned, but free to move fast.

We discuss:

📈 Business model innovation—from ride-hailing to car subscriptions

🧠 Lessons from collaborating across legal, brand, and engineering teams
