Episode 2 with Ragini Das

Episode 2 of Slay Station is here and this one's personal. I'm Khushboo Mulani, Founder & CEO of Slay Media. In this episode, I sit down with someone who's shaped how I think about building, adapting, and showing up: Ragini Das, Co-founder of Leap Club. Now Head of Google for Startups India. An army kid who grew up everywhere from Srinagar to Chennai, she's spent her life adapting to every new chapter, from a manufacturing plant in Barnala to building, shutting down, and reinventing her own career more than once. And through all of it, she's never stopped creating opportunities for other women to grow alongside her. This isn't the polished founder interview. This is Ragini, unfiltered.
