Do you have any kind of, I suppose, perhaps a cycle where you set goals for like hire a particular number of people or send a particular number of messages and then you kind of evaluate that sometime later?

#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Are there any times that you've noticed that, say, like the communication or the management structure is creating problems and then we're able to reorganize things and fix things up systematically?

staff motivation and hr systems and benchmarking and salaries and that's all something we have deliberately i think deprioritized yeah i'll do it later on we're at a bigger scale makes sense where do you guys stand on the kind of delegation centralization thing like are there areas that are just kind of handled down the line and you don't you don't worry too much about them

#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

All right.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Well, yeah, you've exhausted all the questions that I had.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

So we could wrap up.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Maybe just last one is, do you have any book recommendations for someone in the audience who has enjoyed this interview and stuck with it through to the end?

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Yeah, yeah, I can second that recommendation.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Yeah, I read that 10 years ago and really loved it.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

I think, yeah, we have a lot of social science-y, economics-y sort of people in the audience.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

So I think, yeah, if you're one of them and you haven't read this yet, go out and get it.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Well, yeah, thanks so much for taking the time and thanks so much for being adventurous and being willing to go and start something new.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Yeah, I really love seeing people go out into the world and actually try to make a difference on the ground.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

It's very cool.

80,000 Hours Podcast

And maybe something we haven't covered enough on the show yet.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

So hopefully we'll be able to possibly even speak to the charity entrepreneurship people or perhaps some other organizations that go through it over the years and hear from their successes.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

And I guess actually also the failures.

80,000 Hours Podcast
#113 โ€“ Varsha Venugopal on using gossip to help vaccinate every child in India

Maybe we should talk to some people who start charities and then decide to shut them down.

80,000 Hours Podcast

Cool.
