In today’s episode, we have Shiv Shivakumar, ex-CEO of Nokia (Emerging Markets) and PepsiCo India, to cover how startups build massive brands and why big companies struggle to keep up. We discuss the importance of boards in companies and how the right guidance and decision-making can make or break a business.
The conversation explores how small teams move fast, make bold decisions, and create a real advantage over slow-moving corporate giants. Shiv explains why hierarchy, fear of criticism, and delayed decisions often kill the best ideas in big companies, and how startups turn speed and agility into their biggest advantage.
We also talk about understanding customers across India, the US, and China, and how trust, authenticity, and relevance are critical to scaling a business in a low-trust society. From building trust with new audiences to creating brands that last, Shiv shares practical insights for founders and leaders who want to win big.
