Rajan Agarwal on Leading with Stillness, Systems, and Strategic Influence

In the premiere episode of The Leadership Sauce, host Saurabh Dhayani sits down with Rajan Agarwal — VP, Engineering at Zinnia — to explore what leadership truly looks like in high-pressure, high-impact environments.

This is a deep dive into what it means to lead with stillness, design with intent, and inspire through presence — not just position.

In this episode, Rajan opens up about:

• Why the best leaders prioritize people over performance metrics
• How calmness can be a greater asset than charisma
• The timeless leadership lessons he’s drawn from mentors — and from the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita
• Why “outworking others” is more about mindset than just hours
• And what it truly means to build a legacy that outlives your title

Whether you’re an emerging manager or a seasoned leader re-evaluating your compass, this episode blends strategy with soul — offering insight that sticks.
