Leadership is not just about guts & glory; it’s also about how you handle the toughest moments. Harsh Pokharna, the CEO of OkCredit recently had to make a tough call—laying off 70 employees. But instead of leaving them stranded, he ensured 67 found jobs before their notice period ended, while the remaining received extra support. In an era where layoffs are often handled with cold emails and sudden account deactivations, this approach is a masterclass in leadership, empathy, and accountability. I’ve always been a huge admirer of his journey and here’s what makes Harsh’s journey even more inspiring: - He didn’t just build a successful startup overnight. - He failed multiple times before getting it right. - Took on odd freelancing gigs to survive. - Kept iterating until he built something consumers loved and investors backed. His willingness to share it all—his failures, learnings, and hard-earned insights—on social media, is helping countless founders navigate their own journeys
