This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.
I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.
In this episode, Akhil Shahani—Managing Director of the Shahani Group—reveals how he transformed personal setbacks into a bold vision to revolutionize education across Asia.
From navigating the weight of a century-old family legacy to building an education-to-employment ecosystem, Akhil shares real talk on leadership, resilience, and reinventing outdated systems.
You’ll walk away with fresh insight on bridging the gap between theory and practice—and why empathy, adaptability, and critical thinking are the true markers of future-ready leaders.
If you're a leader tired of playing by broken rules, this conversation is your permission to reimagine what’s possible.
