The Unstoppables
Welcome to The Unstoppable Lab – a hub for bold ideas, deep research, and stories of extraordinary resilience.
What began as a personal quest to turn adversity into strength has now evolved into a platform with multiple verticals under one powerful mission: to challenge the status quo and spark change. At its core, The Unstoppable Lab embodies the founder-and-investor DNA, relentless, resourceful, and driven to create impact against all odds.
Through The Unstoppable Lab: Research Series, we explore the intersections of capital allocation, behavioral dynamics, and gender disparity whether in venture capital boardrooms or at the grassroots level of micro-financing. My passion for research combined with my quest to put data backed solutions to action is the reason why I started The Unstoppable Lab: Research Series.
Through "The Unstoppables" Podcast, we uncover raw, unfiltered stories of people who have faced life’s fiercest storms and emerged stronger. Each conversation is a reminder that the Universe has its own way of connecting the dots. Every setback I once thought would break me, in hindsight, became the very fuel that built my resilience, my drive, and my purpose.

The Podcast Stories
When I first met Professor Jack Fuchs at Stanford’s #Me2We event, I had no idea how deeply his story would resonate with me. Jack isn’t just an accomplished investor or professor—he’s a father, a leader, and above all, someone who understands what it means to face life’s hardest moments head-on.
In our latest podcast episode on The Unstoppables, Jack opened up about moments that would break most of us:
• Being fired as a leader by his investors, despite his best efforts.
• Watching his son endure bullying and mental health struggles, and feeling helpless as a parent.
But what struck me the most wasn’t the challenges—it was how Jack responded to them.
💡 He didn’t let rejection define him.
💡 He found hope, even when there were no easy answers.
💡 And he chose to live a life grounded in principles, turning his pain into a force for good.
🎥 Here’s a short glimpse into our conversation—a raw, honest, and powerful exchange about resilience, hope, and purpose.
Jack’s journey reminds us that it’s not about having all the answers—it’s about showing up, holding on, and staying true to who you are, no matter what life throws your way.

Hurratul is a 3 x founder, passionate about building interest based communities and strongly believes in the power of collaboration for bringing new possibilities to existence. She has built ventures in e-commerce and community space and is committed to levelling the playing field for women in entrepreneurship space. With her ventures Chics Connect ( EWON ) and Casa Rozen she enabled many women entrepreneurs to connect collaborate and create, empowering them to bring their ideas to life.
In her words...
Women do not need empowerment, they are already empowered, they are the ones who bring a new life to existence. What we really need is, change in our society of how we define and limit different roles, specific to genders and how we can rather focus on bringing together the best of the two genders at the workplace to make this world a better place. Why does it have to be about competition, we can also work with collaborative efforts. When things operate from a place of collaboration and not competition, there is a place for everyone and growth is exponential in such an environment where there is focus on bringing better solutions to the problems than competing with others for the limited gains.
Also, I firmly believe that in the work place women should be provided with a flexible schedule, especially for mothers to newborns who are multi-tasking, up until the child moves to an age where he/she can achieve some independence, a mother has a significant role to play and often many women drop off from the work places because they do not have a flexible co-operative work environment.
Change begins with us, what we need is to ask for it ! It begins with us, you and me and so we should not hesitate to voice out for what we believe in.
