Avinash Kaul

From a refugee camp school in Kashmir to 16 consecutive years as CEO of two of India's largest broadcast networks. Now I write about what leadership actually looks like from the inside. The Next Mountain is a fortnightly newsletter for senior leaders who want real frameworks, not recycled advice. If you're still climbing, this is for you.
