About This Episode
In this landmark 100th episode of The Young Mavericks | Apex Dialogues, host Anmol Gogia sits down with Dr. Anil K. Khandelwal, former Chairman & Managing Director of Bank of Baroda and author of "The Gym of Leadership," for a powerful conversation on what leadership really demands once titles, authority and optics stop being enough. Having led transformation inside one of India's largest public-sector institutions, Dr. Khandelwal has spent decades studying leadership through people, pressure, character, self-management and real-world decision-making. His argument is simple: you don't become a leader because someone hands you a designation, you become one through consistent practice, the same way a muscle only grows when it's trained. It's a practical, inside-out lens on building leadership for young managers, founders, CXOs, team leaders, entrepreneurs and anyone trying to grow into the role.
