What happens after a founder steps away from the company they’ve built from the ground up?

Vanessa Hui sits down with Sanjay Malaviya, founder and former CEO of RL Solutions, for a candid conversation about the realities of building, exiting, and reimagining life after nearly two decades of building a company.

Sanjay reflects on RL Solutions’ growth from a small startup to a global leader in patient safety and risk management, and the emotional complexity of deciding it was time to move on.

He discusses the unexpected challenges of stepping back from being a CEO, navigating the transition from operator to investor, and the principles that shaped his approach to wealth preservation, diversification, and philanthropy.

From humility and the value of surrounding yourself with the right people, Sanjay offers thoughtful insights into what life looks like after an entrepreneurial exit — and what he’s learned along the way.
