Part 15 of 17 in Work-Life Balance for Indian Founders: A Practical Guide for the Indian Entrepreneurial Family

The Indian entrepreneurial family has always been the country’s hidden operating system. By adapting the clear-eyed wisdom of Meg Cadoux Hirshberg to our joint-family realities, our cultural expectations around effort, and the new leverage of artificial intelligence, founders can build companies that last and homes that remain places of connection rather than exhaustion. Read these chapters, discuss them, and—most importantly—put the “Things to Talk About” and “Things to Do” into practice this week.

The company can raise another round. The years with your children and the health of your marriage cannot. Build both.
