At 10, Devika was doing night shifts caring for her nan. Fast-forward and she’s one of the tiny handful of female CEOs on the NASDAQ, building life-changing dementia tech while anonymous investors critique… her handbags. In this episode, she shares the real story behind her “why”: caring for her grandma, building a booming care startup, being bullied out of the business she created, surviving an abusive relationship, sobbing on Old Street while her face covered every Tube station, and then - plot twist - meeting the love of her life in Ibiza wearing five-day-old underwear. We dig into resilience, misogyny, motherhood, leadership, and her mission to transform dementia care for every family. It’s raw, heartfelt, unexpectedly funny, and a hug for anyone who’s ever thought, “I don’t know if I can get up again.”
(We do touch on domestic abuse, grief and mental health - please listen gently.)
