This is Unboxing Impact.
A series of conversations with people working at the intersection of business, capital, and social change.
I’m Sunil Lalvani. My work spans international business and more than a decade building a social enterprise delivering sustainable access to clean water across rural Africa.
In this series, we explore what impact really means, the trade-offs and tensions involved, and how success should be defined beyond financial return.
In this episode, we sit down with Jay Cziraky to explore the deeper questions behind social impact.
We discuss systems thinking, long-term incentives, accountability, and why short-term metrics often fail to create meaningful change. This is a thoughtful conversation about discipline, sustainability, and building models that last.
A must-listen for anyone working in social enterprise, nonprofit leadership, or impact-driven organisations.

Ep. 2 - Lucie Lachaux
Lucie is a former CFO who now works closely with CEOs and senior leaders when they’re at important crossroads, in business and in life.
We talk about how our definition of success changes over time, what it means to listen to yourself when the path you’re on no longer feels right, and the courage it takes to change direction with intention rather than pressure.
It’s an honest, grounding conversation about clarity, growth, and trusting what comes next.

Ep. 1 - Bobby Kamani
In this episode of Unboxing Impact, I sit down with Bobby Kamani, an entrepreneur whose work spans hospitality, travel, and building brands rooted in experience and people.
Our conversation moves through intention, disruption, and the responsibility that comes with creating and scaling ideas. We talk about how easily humans disrupt the systems they touch, often without meaning to, and why long-term thinking matters when decisions affect more than just the bottom line.
It’s an energising, honest discussion about value, leadership, and what it really takes to build responsibly in the real world.
