सच में बेहतरीन बिज़नेस को बाकी कंपनियों से अलग क्या बनाता है? हेज फंड SurgoCap Partners की founder माला गांवकर, Nicolai Tangen के साथ बात करती हैं कि ऐसी कंपनियों को कैसे पहचाना जाए जिनके पास मजबूत और टिकाऊ फायदे हैं। वे समझाती हैं कि कैसे पुरानी टेक्नोलॉजी नए तरीकों से बाज़ार में उथल-पुथल मचाती है, क्यों वे अपनी इन्वेस्टमेंट टीम को जानबूझकर छोटा रखती हैं, और कैसे डेटा साइंस सोच की गलतियों को कम करने में मदद करता है। माला अपने इन्वेस्टमेंट के खुले अनुभव शेयर करती हैं—जैसे Nokia को शॉर्ट करने की गलती और NVIDIA को बेचने के बाद दोबारा न देखने का पछतावा। वे अपने करियर को क्रिएटिव राइटिंग और ग्लोबल हेल्थ में समाजसेवा के साथ बैलेंस करने की बात भी करती हैं। $6 बिलियन assets के साथ, SurgoCap यह साबित करता है कि फोकस और जिज्ञासा ही नतीजे लाते हैं।
