The Souls Behind This President's Award-Winning Startup

Before Saarathee became an award-winning inclusion startup, there were two people rebuilding their lives. This is the story of Richa Bansal and Arjun Vishwanathan — before the company, before the recognition. Before Saarathee became one of India’s most credible employment ecosystems for persons with disabilities — and before it received a National Award for Best Placement Agency for Persons with Disabilities, conferred by the President of India in December 2025 — there were two individuals navigating life resets. In this episode, I travel to Dehradun to sit down with Richa Bansal and Arjun Vishwanathan, the co-founders of Saarathee — but we don’t begin with the company. We begin with the founder's lives that shaped this "For-Profit" company: 00:00 – Intro 00:59 – Welcome to the conversation with Richa Bansal & Arjun Vishwanathan 01:06 – Arjun’s first exposure to disability inclusion at NAB 02:12 – Breaking stereotypes: Technology, work, and dignity for persons with disability 02:53 – Burnout, late-30s reset, and choosing an uphill path together 03:53 – How Richa and Arjun met, separated lives, and reconnected 07:00 – Solitude, healing, Jagjit Singh, and emotional survival 08:21 – A FaceTime proposal and redefining love the second time around 10:39 – Marriage the second time: comfort, values, and choosing a partner 12:06 – Wanting a child, fear of loneliness, and family expectations 15:23 – Career ambition, work culture, and the cost of success 18:46 – Guilt, therapy, depression, and rebuilding the self 22:04 – Freedom, self-discovery, and learning how to live alone 23:23 – Motherhood desire, timelines, and trusting life’s pace 26:26 – Giving, volunteering, and early seeds of social impact 28:28 – Arjun’s separation, trauma, alcoholism, and closure 31:56 – Second marriages: heart + mind + maturity 33:02 – Redefining “settled”: space, agency, and happiness 36:56 – Childhoods, careers, failures, and formative years 43:57 – Richa’s early struggles, ambition, and resilience 49:00 – Depression, failure, restarting, and choosing advertising 51:42 – Two personalities, balance, and the road to Saarathee 51:49 – Closing: People before founders, lives before companies Part 1 of this two-part Saarathee Podcast focuses entirely on the people behind the purpose — their upbringing, value systems, emotional turning points, and the lived experiences that quietly shaped the company long before it existed. Because meaningful companies are rarely born out of spreadsheets. They are born out of lived experience.
