Episode 82: Sonny Caberwal Is reimagining Children’s Education
When I met Sonny Caberwal in 2010 at a bar in Delhi, he was in the midst of building the earliest e-commerce fashion companies, Exclusively.In. I never imagined we would end up working together for 3 years in India, building a business, traveling around the country, and attending (also understanding) #IPL cricket matches.
Last week, twelve years later, I got a chance to catch up with him to talk about it all.... including parenthood, how life inevitably has changed our worldview, and about his outstanding journey as an entrepreneur.
Sonny Caberwal is a serial entrepreneur, a #lawyer, a #fashionmodel , a participant in global music act #ThieveryCorporation, and is currently the #founder and #CEO of Ever Scouts. Ever Scouts is on a mission to help families raise #responsible kids and learn #lifeskills not normally taught in schools.
Sonny discusses how the pandemic forced him to really understand what his kids were learning in school, the core life skills he discovered were lacking in young adults, what responsibility really means and how it can be turned into a hard skill, and his experience setting up the preliminary Ever Scouts program in his own home town.
He also talks about how tech can have a positive affect on children's growth, his biggest takeaways from building an e-commerce business in India, the three pillars that are important to him, and why he is an extreme optimist about our future.
I truly believe that Sonny encompasses attributes that good leaders should have- vision, passion, empathy, and grit. And he brings these traits to the table every time.
