Some events leave you inspired. Some leave you thinking.
And then there are rare moments that stay with you long after the applause fades, this IEC evening with Akshat Gupta was one of them.
On a night filled with anticipation, the room came alive with founders, creators, innovators, and dream-builders. What brought them together wasn’t just interest in mythology—it was the search for meaning, clarity, and perspective in the ever-shifting world of entrepreneurship.
A Session That Went Beyond Storytelling
Akshat Gupta didn’t deliver a talk; he delivered a lens.
Through the Satyology of Mythology, he wove stories, symbols, and philosophies that pushed everyone to rethink leadership, decision-making, and the purpose behind their work.
He reminded us that:
- Every entrepreneur is a storyteller, shaping a narrative every day.
- Resilience is ancient, and every great journey is tested before it triumphs.
- Purpose matters more than pace, because building something meaningful requires intention, not just ambition.
- Values are your compass, especially when the world around you feels chaotic.
It wasn’t a lecture—it was a grounding experience. You could feel the shift in the room, people listening not just with curiosity but with recognition.
Moments That Defined the Evening
🗝 Key Takeaways from the Community
- Mythology can be a powerful tool for decoding human behavior.
- Entrepreneurship is as much an emotional journey as a strategic one.
- Wisdom isn’t old, it’s timeless.
Why This Evening Mattered
Entrepreneurship often feels like a race—to innovate faster, scale faster, and win faster.
But IEC was created for nights like these: moments that slow us down just enough to reflect, realign, and reconnect with what matters.
This event reminded us that:
- We learn best when we learn together.
- We grow deeper when we grow with perspective.
- And we rise higher when we rise as a community.
It wasn’t just an event.
It was a collective pause—a pause to check once and revert to the reminder that the founder’s journey has always been guided by stories, symbols, and timeless human truths.
A Question We Left With
Every ancient story carries a lesson.
Every entrepreneur carries a story of their own.
So we asked everyone in the room, and now we ask you:
What’s one ancient story that still guides your decisions today?
Tell us. Share it. Someone in the community might just need that wisdom.
