Aleena Dissects Success and Anxiety ft. Nikhil Taneja | From YRF to Yuvaa |

On this episode, Aleena is joined by Nikhil Taneja, Founder of Yuvaa. Aleena and Nikhil talk about how Nikhil got to work with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, how he went from being a young bigshot at YRF to finding his own amazing youth platform called Yuvaa, recognising his strengths as a leader, and a lifetime of dealing with anxiety as an individual. This is a much needed conversation, and Nikhil is not one to shy away from difficult topics. Tune in for an extremely enriching episode.
