Jane Chen who was undergoing her MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, took up a project with the university’s Center for Social Innovation. During this project, she came across a socio-economic issue which was resulting in about a million deaths each year. So, she started Embrace Innovations to somehow improve the lives of many through affordable solutions. This entire journey has been full of challenges along the way. Chen feels that human beings need to be defined and guided by their values and not what they achieve. For successful business innovations to see the light of day, periodic introspection or revaluation is a must. One need not fear failures, as those are bound to occur periodically. With courage one must take on new assignments, but only when there is complete conviction in that idea. Fortunately, several big firms have taken to Chen’s ideations, so she has received frequent funding from industry giants such as Salesforce.
