Arjun Arora, currently in residence at Expa, a former partner at 500 Startups, and the founder of Retargeter, and Wisdom Labs’ Meghna Majmudar, discuss the shifting paradigm of business and what it means for the future of our workplace culture. Arora speaks about value creation in business taking the place of value extraction, and building businesses that are “centered, grounded, and concerned with people.”

The conversation covers topics such as the business results of value creation, the changing belief system about what it means to have a job, the movement towards a “free agent” lifestyle, democratizing profit, and how the experience of humanity can be changed through shifts in the workplace.
