In this exclusive episode of the WeAce Spotlight Series, we sit down with Pankaj Bansal — visionary entrepreneur, founder of PeopleStrong (now backed by Goldman Sachs), and current Managing Partner at Carat Capital and Tagged, India’s largest recruitment platform. As a member of the Mission KarmYogi Task Force, he operates at the intersection of entrepreneurship, public policy, and nation-building.

In a deeply reflective conversation, Mr. Bansal shares the inner spark that launched his entrepreneurial journey — one rooted not just in ambition, but in purpose. From building category-defining ventures to contributing to India’s digital public infrastructure, he unpacks what it truly means to create impact at scale.

This episode explores:

• What Gen Z leaders bring — and where they must stretch themselves

• The four future-ready skills organisations must invest in now

“Leadership is about building capacity.”
“Let your soul be the driver—not your senses.”

Grounded yet forward-thinking, strategic yet soulful — this is a rare opportunity to hear from a leader shaping both enterprise and ecosystem.
