Join us for unconventional conversations about life and leadership in Out of Office, hosted by Mallika Kapur. Tune in to hear newsmakers talk about things they don't get asked about in the office. Their childhood. Dreams. Mentors. Favorite books. Failure. Triumphs. Down time. Family and love. Because all these influences make them who they are and define how they lead.
