EP06: Be-Have with Richard Bordenave, CEO at BVA Nudge Unit (APAC)
There is more to being right than just being factually correct based on the information we get every day. One can argue if the abundance of information has made the world a lot easier to understand. But the truth is that we humans are emotional creatures and behave irrationally all the time. Focusing on it can help businesses understand inherent biases and apply it to improve experiences for their customers. In this episode, Saurabh is joined by Richard Bordenave, who is passionate about solving complex challenges where human behavior is both parts of the problem and of the solution. Richard is the CEO at BVA Nudge Unit APAC, which is a global consultancy pioneering in behavioral change and organizational transformation.

EP02: UnResearch with Navneet Ahuja, Founder at unhide
Entrepreneurs are the most interesting storytellers. Their sheer drive to succeed and innovate often makes their journeys interesting to listen to. Most of the entrepreneurs that I have met thrive in uncertainty and have the ability to make every opportunity count.

In this episode Saurabh is joined by Navneet Ahuja, founder at unhide. Navneet has worked with global insight companies and one day decided to leave it all to get into the space of visual content.
