Drawing from personal experience and real-world examples, Lakshya shares three simple yet powerful tools—affirmations, visualization, and gratitude—that can help shift your mindset and "change poison into medicine.”Lakshya is the Founder & CEO of TruLeague, a peer-to-peer enrollment platform for colleges that helps prospective college students connect authentically with current students and alumni. A Babson MBA and Techstars alum, he’s also an avid golfer, investor, and someone deeply committed to personal growth.
My passion for business early on led me to join EY and later as the CEO of Avani Group, where I led a team of 200 talented individuals. Building on these experiences, I pursued an MBA in Entrepreneurship at Babson College, a decision that transformed my perspective on leadership and innovation. While at Babson, I founded TruLeague, a platform that fosters authentic connections between prospective and current students at colleges and universities, empowering students and higher education. I had the opportunity to participate in the transformative Techstars Boston accelerator program, which honed my skills and expanded my vision. Outside of entrepreneurship, I’ve been a national-level golfer and enjoy traveling to immerse myself in diverse cultures and ideas and embracing challenges that inspire personal and professional growth. I firmly believe that combining vision, discipline, and teamwork is key to achieving remarkable outcomes whether in business, sports, or life.
