Vibemakers espisode 2: Srikant Chellappa

In this episode of Vibemakers, I sit down with Sri Chellappa, Co-founder and CEO of Engagedly, to explore how purpose-driven cultures can transform organizations. From his inspiring journey of self-reflection after 9/11 to co-founding Engagedly, Sri shares the philosophies that guide his work: aligning personal aspirations with organizational goals, fostering continuous engagement, and cultivating meaningful agency at work.

Key highlights from our conversation:

🎙️ Culture as an uphill climb: Why shifting culture requires constant effort—and what happens when it’s left unchecked.

🎙️ Agency in the workplace: Sri’s vision for a world where employees have ownership over their roles, careers, and contributions.

🎙️ The unsung heroes of culture: How first-level managers are the pillars of any strong culture—and why they deserve more support.

Sri also shares his favorite leadership advice inspired by the Bhagavad Gita and the importance of focusing on your work, not just the outcome.

This conversation is packed with insights for leaders looking to create more intentional, engaged, and resilient workplaces. Tune in to hear Sri’s thoughts on how to align people and purpose for lasting impact.
