The Underswell with Derek SaboriBreaking the Mold: Nonlinear Careers, Climate Impact & Bold Moves🎧 In this episode, I sit down with the ever-curious and deeply accomplished Kirthika Padmanabhan—an operator, strategist, and climate-focused investor whose career journey spans continents, industries, and disciplines.
