The Millennial Entrepreneur

Today I spoke to Nav Sawhney, the founder of The Washing Machine Project (https://thewashingmachineproject.org/). This is an amazing business that has been featured on the BBC, The Guardian, ITV and many more, with the ambition of providing hand powered washing machines for underdeveloped communities. He talks about how he left his well-paid dream job at Dyson to embark on this journey after being inspired by his friendship to a girl who struggled washing her clothes by hand in an underdeveloped community. He talks about how he wants to grow the company into a for-profit initiative to enable him to grow and provide this to other communities that struggle with this problem.Instagram: @thewashingmachineprojectLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewashingmachineproject/---The Millennial Entrepreneur publishes a new episode EVERY WEEK, showcasing the most inspirational young hustlers and analysing their journeys.Be sure to share and subscribe.
