TheGameBegins

“Linkology is a creativity-boosting company. The primary aim is to ensure that creative confidence in kids does not get subdued as regimented ways of learning take center stage as kids grow Creativity is an emotion; just like love, jealousy, and anger, it can be expressed at varying degrees. It is more akin to an agricultural problem that needs to be farmed and cultivated. By fostering collaboration, encouraging divergent and convergent thinking in equal measure, utilizing the subconscious mind and the power of visualization, Linkology hopes to build creative confidence in children and empower them to become innovative problem-solvers”saysSunil.

Bikashsays,“Our company and our product can be successful if and only if we can influence the larger ecosystem. The vision we have set out for ourselves is bold and challenging. It cannot be achieved just by team Linkology. It is extremely important that our students, teachers, partners and clients trust and believe in the cause; we have to collaborate with a forward-looking objective and an unwavering focus on the vision while being open to feedback to make the product work and be more relevant. Hopefully, our three core leadership principles can help us achieve our goals as we work within the ecosystem, given the magnitude of the change we want to bring about,”

Think Patagonia's environmental activism or TOMS' One for One model.

Customer-centric: They prioritize authentic relationships with their customers, fostering trust and transparency through open communication and personalized experiences. Think Allbirds' focus on sustainable materials and ethical production, or Lush's dedication to fresh, handmade cosmetics

Community-focused: Future Empowerers believe in collaborating with, not just selling to, their customers. They build communities around shared values, fostering cocreation and engagement. Think Ben & Jerry's social justice activism or Nike's support for athletes advocating for change

Employee-centric: They understand that empowered employees are the key to success. They create positive work environments with flexible work arrangements, fair compensation, and opportunities for growth. Think Zappos' emphasis on happiness and autonomy, or Google's innovative employee perks and benefits.

WordsfortheWise

MedicalDevicesareanicheoftheIndianindustrythat demandsconstantinnovation.Insuchascenario,Rajan’s advicetootherbuddingentrepreneurswhoaspiretoventure intothisspaceisintenselypragmatic. The medical devices industry is not child’s play. It needs a lot of seriousness and professional aptitude. Unless the entrepreneurs are extremely knowledgeable as passion alone is not enough and if they have the cult/edge to be in this industry, else they should venture into some other non-serious avenue, as this industry is not for fly-by-night players.

To awaken humanity, to better life… through words, and Silence

Meghaexplains,“Second, we firmly believe in the power of intent. All action is born out of intent. Everything we see

around us - a building or an organization, a relationship or a tree- began as intent. When the intent is pure and to make a difference, everything else flows in the right direction.”As afounder,sheandherteamensurethattheirintentisinthe rightplace.

“I firmly believe work hard and party harder is very old age. I live by this motto - work as if it is a party. I enjoy my work so much that it never feels like work. Every morning, there is a spring in my step. Thank God it’s Friday is as relevant to me as Thank God it's Monday. I believe when you love what you do - it rubs onto your team and customers and creates a brand,”smilesMegha,whoreflectson herjourney.Orwhereit‘WoW’allstarted.
