What happens when you stop following the script that was written by generations of legacy?

In this episode of the Asian Rebel Club podcast, I sit down with Kaushik, a former ship captain turned 3x tech founder who walked away from a conventional South Asian medical legacy to confront some of the most outdated systems in global trade.

But Kaushik’s story isn’t just about entrepreneurship. It’s about identity, scale, truth, and the discomfort required to live a life with no escape hatches.

We dive into:

• How living in 7 countries shaped Kaushik’s obsession with scale and truth
• The mental discipline from maritime life that still guides how he builds today
• Why he left a legacy-driven career path to challenge opacity in ocean freight
• How confronting family systems can be as hard as disrupting global ones

Kaushik doesn’t sugarcoat the pain of breaking away, but he also reminds us why it’s worth it.

🌀 Question for you: What were you told you must become by your family of origin? Did you follow that script, or choose to rewrite it? Why?

🎧 Listen now & forward it to someone quietly questioning everything.
