The Road Less Travelled: Sagarika Chakraborty on Risk, Leadership, Trust & the Future of AI

What does it take to build a career in a field few women enter—and even fewer lead?

In this episode, Sagarika Chakraborty shares her journey from corporate law to global risk advisory, offering a rare glimpse into the psychology of trust, leadership under pressure, and the courage it takes to walk an unconventional path. Rooted in The Road Less Travelled, this conversation explores how resilience, clarity of purpose, and strong governance shape both institutions and individuals.

Touching on the pillars of Power & Leadership and Voice & Visibility, the episode explores what it means to lead in high-stakes environments while using your voice to influence change and empower the next generation.

From understanding human behaviour to preparing for AI-driven risks, this is a conversation about courage, conviction, and building impact where it matters most.
