Vidya Murali | Speaker | Author | Scale-Up Leadership Expert

Vidya Murali is the author of How to Survive in a Scale-Up Business (Routledge, August 2025), with over 20 years of senior leadership experience in high-growth technology environments.

An MBA graduate from the University of Cambridge, Vidya has built her career at the intersection of performance, leadership, and culture, helping organisations scale without losing what made them successful in the first place.

She has held senior roles in globally recognised companies including Amazon, Deliveroo, and Skyscanner, where she experienced first-hand the realities of rapid growth, organisational friction, and leadership pressure.

Her work is grounded in a simple belief: growth shouldn’t come at the cost of your people.

Today, Vidya works with leaders as a speaker, mentor, advisor, and coach, helping them drive performance while building resilient, high-performing cultures.

Growth without breaking people isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s a leadership discipline. If that tension feels familiar, this is a topic you will reap benefits from.
