In this deeply thoughtful episode of Impact[X]Studio, we speak with Dolly Bhasin, the founder of SmartEdge, not just an innovation platform, but a movement built on trust, inclusion, and long-term impact.

Dolly’s journey is not about chasing headlines or quick wins. It’s about reaching out, believing in people, and patiently building ecosystems especially for youth, women, MSMEs, and purpose-driven entrepreneurs who often go unheard.

From enabling open innovation at Kumbh Mela, to mentoring thousands of students, to shaping India’s shift toward sustainable and inclusive technology, this conversation reflects the heart of someone who has always chosen people over ego and purpose over popularity.

This is not a loud startup story.

This is a human story of faith in people, patience in process, and belief in a better future.

If you believe leadership can be kind, impact can be inclusive, and innovation can be humane, this episode is for you.
