Beyond Paychecks: Gen Z's Unprecedented Power to Redefine Corporate Values

Today's guest is Forbes Under 30 recipient Avanti Sharma. Avanti has been on 'Tech Talks' twice before, aged 11, and 17. Now she's back to argue that Gen Z holds unprecedented power thanks to the looming "Great Wealth Transfer."

She details how this financial shift empowers the generation to demand corporate transformation based on shared cultures and values. Avanti explains why iGen (or GenZ) cares less about short-term pay and more about purpose, warning that organizations that fail to align their values will quickly lose the next generation of top talent.
