In this episode, I interview my colleague from Bain Capital Ventures, Ayushi Sinha. Ayushi just finished her first year at Harvard Business School. Previously, she had roles in big tech, startups, and venture capital. Ayushi gives us the tea on what life is really like at HBS, discusses the ups and downs of her application process, and breaks open the gatekept industry of venture capital. Let’s jump in.

Love the video, Cherie! In terms of relationships, I can understand how it’s difficult when you’re going to such a prestigious school. Keep it up!

I really like how you conclude the video with takeaways from the video. I also liked her examples of some case studies like Enron, Theranos and Maggi Noodles being discussed at HBS and how students from different countries were able to offer unique and interesting points during the case discussion. I would also like to see a guest with experience in manufacturing and operations feature in the future. Thanks Cherie for the wonderful content.

I like her examples too! It makes it more concrete. I’ll keep doing the takeaways ☺️ noted in manufacturing. I’ll try my best! 👍🏻

Love seeing inspiring, accomplished women. I really do appreciate a lot of the breakdowns to do with VC and tech in this video. Lots of talk I see are just too vague and too technical for new ears to engage in, so I never really get a good picture. So I absolutely appreciate this video! As a new graduate with no experience and looking into entering fields unrelated to my degree. What advice would you give to someone looking to break into different industries?

@cherie.brooke 11 ай бұрын

I'm so happy to hear that! It really depends on the industry you're trying to break into, but it helps to showcase that you have the transferrable skills recruiters are looking for no mater what industry you started in!

Really informative and inspiring for a person like me who is 3 years in the career, done Software Dev and Product Management, and now planning to learn business on a global level! Looking forward to interacting with you someday

Hello! I’m only a year younger, finishing grad school at Penn while working in big tech. It seems there’s so much content out there for early career advice/getting your first job, but so little for those of us between years 5-10! It’s so nice seeing you fill that niche with high quality content here and on your main channel. Please keep it up!

Thanks so much for this comment. I'd love to know what other questions or topics you'd like me to cover :)
