Entrepreneur Series: 24helps

Mishka Khotylev and Nikhil Dhanani are founders of 24helps [https://www.24helps.com/] – a productivity driven community. What brought them together was their self-expression via cars, music, and fashion – a lot of which served them both as meditative outlets. Mishka carried various sales and business development positions in addition to launching a NYC based denim brand. Nikhil comes from a background of graphic design and content curation with experience in visual storytelling and event production. While managing multiple projects for their creative agency (now known as 24brands), it was hard for the two to find balance between their high work loads and personal lives. After searching for a solution, there wasn’t anything the two could relate to – so they created one for themselves, out came their COVID-19 brainchild, 24helps.Career fitness is the alignment of strengths, personality, interests and values in your career pursuits.

Research Series: Swarali Sonar

This week Tiffany speaks with Swarali Sonar. Based in India, Swarali is a business psychologist and founder of Ponder. We studied together in London and reconnected to discuss her career story and fascinating research on flow state. 'As business/work psychologists, it's our aim to look after employee well-being, not by eliminating their hurdles, but by giving them the confidence to overcome them. Stress, anxiety, confusions - they're all a part of life and the most we can do is have a positive attitude while tackling it all. I found my own calling a few years ago and earlier this year I started Ponder @ponder_the.career.catalyst, where I hope to provide a safe space for you to open up and find ways to enhance your career (educational and in the workspace).'
