The Hedgehog Concept For Startups | Good To Great | Real Execution

In today’s fast-moving startup world, many young entrepreneurs and founders find themselves disillusioned -constantly comparing their journeys with others, chasing funding, validation, or success because “if they can do it, so can I.” But is that really how great enterprises are built? In this powerful episode of Unbound, we dive deep into the real mindset required to build something meaningful, sustainable, and truly impactful. Our guest, Sandeep Vijay, Founder of Idea2Unicorn, startup mentor, thinker, teacher, and philosopher, shares timeless wisdom that challenges the surface-level narratives around entrepreneurship. One core truth anchors this conversation: if you want to become big, you have to give big. Growth doesn’t come from entitlement alone, comparisons, or shortcuts. It comes from value. From asking the right questions—What are you offering to your customers? Is your offering truly big enough? Does it genuinely make their lives easier? Sandeep explains that success is not accidental. It requires the alignment of three essential forces: 1 - Creating entitlement by giving real value 2 - Dreaming big without fear 3 - Taking massive action, as famously emphasised by Tony Robbins These three elements must come together for any entrepreneur to truly succeed. Drawing from Jim Collins’ legendary book “Good to Great”, Sandeep introduces the Hedgehog Concept—a powerful framework that helps founders evaluate whether their idea has global potential, economic merit, and personal passion. It’s a must-reflect concept for anyone standing at the threshold of entrepreneurship or already walking the path and wondering what’s working and what’s not. The episode also explores Sandeep Vijay’s remarkable journey—from his early corporate career in 1988 with Godfrey Philips (a subsidiary of Philip Morris), working on product management and market entry strategies far ahead of their time, to applying those learnings in the world of startups and fintech. His experiences reveal how life continuously trains us through events, preparing us for what comes next. Beyond business, the conversation beautifully expands into values, relationships, and inner peace. Sandeep shares his belief that respect is the foundation of relationships, drawing wisdom from the Vedas, where men and women are seen as divine counterparts, Vishnu and Lakshmi. According to him, respect leads to peace, and peace ultimately leads to abundance. With rapid-fire reflections, honest life lessons, and unfiltered thoughts, this episode of Unbound is not just a podcast - it’s a mirror for every dreamer, founder, and innovator who wants to build with purpose, integrity, and long-term impact. If you’re an entrepreneur seeking clarity, depth, and a new way of thinking about success, this conversation is for you. Let’s keep unbounding together.
