Where Business Ambition Meets Health, Balance, and Self-Healing | Ashok Hattangady
🎙️ Mentor Konnect | BioPatrika Mentorship Session
Entrepreneurship is often associated with ambition, growth, and risk—but rarely do we pause to reflect on its impact on health, balance, and inner wellbeing. In this open and interactive Mentor Konnect session by BioPatrika, Ashok Hattangady takes us beyond boardrooms and balance sheets into a deeply human conversation about risk-taking, resilience, and self-healing.
This session was moderated by Dr. Narendra Chirmule, CEO of SymphonyTech Biologics, and brought together participants seeking not just professional success, but a sustainable and healthy way of living.
About This Episode
In this thoughtful and engaging discussion, Ashok Hattangady shares lessons drawn from decades of entrepreneurial experience and personal reflection. He speaks candidly about the highs and lows of building ventures, the costs of unchecked stress, and the importance of recalibrating life priorities.
The conversation explores how calculated risk-taking, purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and conscious lifestyle choices can lead not only to business success—but also to long-term wellbeing and fulfillment.
Key Highlights from the Session
- Real stories from the trenches of entrepreneurship, including reflections from the Hattangadys’ journey together with Hema Hattangady
- Practical insights into risk management, leadership, and decision-making
- A deeper discussion on the meaning of health, healthy food, and the role of “healthy fasting” in self-healing
- Why sustainable success requires alignment between mind, body, and purpose
- An open Q&A session, allowing participants to directly engage with Ashok and ask candid questions
This was not a lecture—but a conversation rooted in lived experience.
Entrepreneurship, Health, and Self-Healing
One of the most powerful themes of the session was the idea that success without health is incomplete. Ashok emphasized that entrepreneurship demands energy, clarity, and emotional resilience—and these are impossible to sustain without conscious self-care.
The discussion around healthy fasting, mindful eating, and listening to one’s body resonated strongly with participants, offering a refreshing perspective rarely discussed in conventional leadership forums.
