1996: I joined as a site engineer with just 13 employees & 60 Lakhs revenue.
2024: Working as a President in the same organization with revenue of 200+ Cr and global presence.
During my early days, I focused only on closing sale deals and field management.
Mainly the tasks that were my direct responsibility, and short-term goals that gave immediate results.
I wasn't growing, and neither was the company at the pace it could.
But after initial few months, one meeting with Sir Ivan Dcosta and Gavin D'costa and later interactions with Vinita Dcosta, changed my MINDSET completely.
It made me realise Key to success, i.e,
The company's growth = My growth
This new perspective helped me align my goals with the company's mission.
Now I always think about results that give long-term benefits and contribute to the success of my company.
3 mindset shifts that helped me grow:
1️⃣ From "just a job" to "The mission"
Stop viewing work as just a paycheck.
Instead, find purpose by aligning your efforts with a larger goal that excites you.
2️⃣ From "me" to "we"
Shift focus from personal success to team success.
True leadership is about helping others shine and achieving collective growth.
3️⃣ From "fixed" to "growth" mindset
Replace "I can't" with "How can I?"
Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow,
rather than obstacles to avoid.
And as a result?
→ From 13 employees, 60 Lakhs revenue to 150+ employees, 200+ Cr revenue
→ Together cracked bigger projects with the likes of Mahindra, Tata Motors, Hyundai, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, General Motors, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Maruti Suzuki, Hero Motocorp, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motors, Royal Enfield, MG, etc.
→ It’s been 28+ years in the same company and thriving alongside Patvin Engineering Private Limited
→ Growth from site engineer to president, from local operations to global scale.
When you decide to grow your vision, the REAL GROWTH happens.
What is that mindset shift which helped you grow in your career?
