Serial entrepreneur Shabnam Aggarwal left her cushy job at Merrill Lynch and moved to India to start a company. But the company failed. Undaunted, Shabnam examined her experiences to see what she could learn from them, and then she wrote a book: Freedom to Fail. She talks to Sandip about the family pressure to succeed that weighs heavy on Indians, raising her first round of venture capital, hiring a hardworking team of millennials and growing her start-up to multiple cities only to have it all come to a bitter end.
