The world needs entrepreneurial leaders because there are always new avenues to explore and products/services to be improved upon. Entrepreneurial leaders are OK with uncertainty because they are able to problem solve quickly and take action. Their decisive nature allows for quick progress and their passion drives the execution of their projects and ventures.”

Creating Economic & Social Value Across the World

Vaidehi Tembhekar MBA’21 wanted to help Kenyan motorbike drivers who carry passengers or packages earn a better living than the typical $4-$5 a day. Tembhekar founded the ride-hailing app Busy Boda with her brother, Atharva. The app serves as an Uber for motorcycle riders, and the venture also is working to help drivers pay for insurance and their own motorbikes. “We wanted to improve the lives of people,” Tembhekar says.

In Babson, there is a strong sense of support and giving back to the community. … It was amazing to see the amount of support that we received from Babson alums.
