DR. GARIMA VASHISTHA
PRESIDENT, THOLONS
Startups are not for the faint of heart. It takes courage, resilience, and a willingness to take risks to pursue a vision and bring it to life.
MILESTONES
Education and global experience have made me the free and independent person I am today. I always say that I never want to stop learning, because the day I do, I will stop growing as a person. It’s so important to travel and meet people and expand our horizons. Without either, we will never be able to tap into the infinite opportunities out there.
I have been extremely fortunate to have lived across the world since childhood, having lived and studied across US, UK and Asia. This has not only made me an independent person but also sensitive to different cultures and people. It allowed me to see the way world works and how we can all make an impact with our experiences and education.
My diverse experiences have allowed me to think how I can impact those around me. Having lived in Asia, and being witness to the widening income inequality, the contrast between urban and rural, makes you think of frugal innovation. Makes you think of what an immense impact new technology can make in the field of education, work, finance and healthcare.
ON THE LOOK OUT FOR
I like spending time in different areas. If a business has the potential to disrupt how we live and work, I’m excited to learn about it.
​
Every founder is different, but they all have a story of why they decided to drop everything and start their company. I look for founders who have a unique insight and are obsessed with winning.
