In our fifth and final episode of season two, Kandarp Mehta, a Senior Lecturer in Negotiation and Creativity,  joined us in the studio. 

A published author, his most recent book 'Negotiate good, negotiate well. The power of ambidexterity' was released in 2021, we loved learning about his beginnings in India alongside his passion for the arts, theatre, and literature, as well as listening to his insights on creativity, entrepreneurship and negotiating well.

A man of many talents, sit back and enjoy our far ranging discussion as we close season two with one of IESE's finest faculty members.
