In this heart-to-heart kickoff episode of Life @10, host Bhumika Arora sits down with Rohit Ghai, the founder of 10 Leaves, for a refreshing and honest conversation that goes beyond the boardroom.

Rohit opens up about the real story behind the name “10 Leaves”—yes, even the witty reasons you didn’t see coming—and the intentional choices that shaped the company’s distinct hybrid work culture. From personal experiences to professional philosophies, he shares how his journey has been driven by passion, patience, and the belief that if you focus on doing great work, the rest—including the money—will follow.

Life @10 started as an unscripted moment during an episode of 10 Minutes with 10 Leaves, when host Bhumika Arora and our new team member Rishel Fernandes got talking about their experiences, the hybrid work culture, and what life is really like at 10 Leaves. The conversation felt so real, relatable, and refreshing — we knew we had to share it. And just like that, Life @10 was born — a podcast that brings you honest, heartfelt stories straight from the people who make 10 Leaves what it is.
