About

I have managed a $300 Mn P&L and I meditate every morning. Most people in corporate think these two things live in separate worlds. I have spent 31 years proving they do not. Learned that a team of thousands people performs not when you tighten the system, but when you be honest, no me first agenda, attitude to give it all you have and help each person find their own stillness. Currently building 1) A pipeline of leaders in Indian manufacturing who are grounded in values, equipped with depth, and capable of sustaining organisations across cycles, not just quarters. and 2) Businesses, organisation which outlast any of us today. Every week I try to share reflections at the intersection of Vedanta philosophy and Operational leadership. Follow if you believe that the quality of a leader's inner world determines the quality of their organisation's outer results. Or connect if you are building a leadership pipeline that needs to be rooted in something deeper than a competency framework.
