We invited Dr. Priti Yamdagni, for an interview with Most Popular Stories. Let’s get to know about her entrepreneurial journey.
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey as an entrepreneur.
I’m a dynamic educator, entrepreneur, and catalyst for positive change. Beginning with Star Academy, where I taught DOS, Foxpro, C, and MS Office, my journey evolved to a doctorate in management.
As Head of the Commerce Department, I orchestrated cultural events, managed committees, and curated placement drives. Collaborating with the police, I organized cross-functional events, fostering interaction between doctors, lawyers, police, and experts in various fields.
Contributing to academia, I’ve presented at national and international conferences and authored “French for Beginners,” gifted to Amitabh Bachchan on KBC. Today, I am a podcaster, professor, coach, and corporate trainer, impacting lives beyond classrooms and into well-being through yoga sessions.
In the symphony of education, each note played is a chapter, and the melody echoes empowerment, resonating far beyond the confines of a classroom.
2. Why did you choose entrepreneurship over a job?
“After 15 years in a job, I craved more than a routine. Entrepreneurship became my canvas to paint impactful stories beyond the 9-to-5, where each stroke is a chance to create, innovate, and make a lasting difference in people’s lives. As I venture into the realm of possibilities, I’m reminded: ‘In the sea of opportunities, entrepreneurship is the compass guiding us to undiscovered shores.’
3. What was the vision behind it?
The vision behind my journey was to transcend the traditional boundaries of education and make a lasting impact. I aspired to create an environment where learning wasn’t confined to textbooks but extended into real-world experiences. The goal was to empower individuals, instill a passion for continuous learning, and leave a positive mark on their lives. This vision propelled me to explore diverse avenues, from teaching and academia to entrepreneurship, podcasting, coaching, and more, all with the overarching aim of inspiring and empowering others on their unique journeys.

For me, the best part is the smile counter – every happy face I contribute to instantly wipes away any stress. Taking breaks in my passion zone and viewing work like solving puzzles injects joy into the process.
Gratitude is my trusty shield, protecting me from unnecessary worries. It’s like juggling tasks with joy instead of stress balls, turning every challenge into a joyful adventure. Working for passion not only melts away stress but fills every task with a rewarding sense of happiness.
