INTRO

I met with Yashish a few months back for an interview after a panel discussion at Money 2020. I was intrigued to learn how he started his company, scales it up to be a #Unicorn after a raise of 238m$ with Vision Fund / Soft Bank. Funnily, I discovered that we went to INSEAD the same year.

PolicyBazaar cofounder Yashish Dahiya’s day starts at 3.30 am so that his Ironman preparation workout is not compromised. As a consequence, he manages to get four hours of exercise and reach office — in Gurugram — before most people punch in.
