What's a business skill everyone should master if they want to be successful?

Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed.

Today's guest on On Purpose is the one and only Anjula Acharya, trailblazing entrepreneur, investor, and cultural powerhouse who's helped shape global careers and billion-dollar brands.

Anjula is the founder of A-Series Investments, an early investor in companies like Bumble and ClassPass, and the longtime manager of Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

And behind all of this, she is a dear, dear friend who I'm so grateful to welcome onto the show.

Please welcome to On Purpose, Anjula Acharya.

Anj, it is so great to have you here.

We met for the first time around eight years ago when I first moved to LA, actually.

And one of the people that you've mentored and your dear friend, and now my dear friend as well, Payal Kadakia, we met through her.

And honestly, the amount you've done for founders, for female founders, for artists...

for our community, for South Asians all over the world and beyond that is amazing.

And we're so grateful to you.

And I know so many people who, whenever your name comes up and it's like, oh yeah, she helped me with this.

And oh, she helped me with this.

And I'm always discovering new people you've helped with stuff.

And so I just want to say, you know, from me and on behalf of all of our friends, just how grateful we are to you.

And you totally deserve to be here.

And I'm grateful and happy that you're here.

I wish I got to speak to her too.

I really do.
