Description

In this episode, Karan Yaramada—Founder and CEO of Jade Global—offers a candid, CEO-level perspective on one of the most critical decisions leaders face when scaling their businesses: whether to pursue organic growth or acquisition-driven growth. Drawing from his experience building Jade Global into a global technology and services firm, Karan breaks down the strategic trade-offs between growing from within and accelerating expansion through M&A. The conversation explores when organic growth builds stronger culture, customer trust, and long-term resilience—and when acquisitions can unlock new capabilities, markets, and speed to scale. Karan shares real-world lessons on aligning growth strategy with company purpose, leadership readiness, and operational maturity, as well as common pitfalls leaders overlook when chasing rapid expansion. Designed for founders, CEOs, and growth-minded executives, this episode provides practical frameworks, decision criteria, and leadership insights to help listeners choose the right growth path—or combination of paths—at each stage of their company’s journey.
