Meet Shilpa Mehta Jain and Dilip Jain—a powerhouse couple who embody the perfect blend of profit and purpose. Shilpa, who has triumphed over polio, transforms perceptions from "bechaari" to "brave" with her never-say-die attitude. A CA and MBA from JBIMS, she’s excelled from Polaris Software Labs Ltd to Hinduja Group, and now as Deputy CEO of Vedanta Group's Nickel Business. Her interests span from event organizing to adventure sports. Dilip, a CA, and MBA from SPJIMR, shifted from corporate roles at Marico and Voltas to his family business and then to his true calling: environmental service. Through his NGO, dJED Foundation, he impacts education, entrepreneurship, and ecology across villages in the Aravallis, Sahyadris, and the Himalayas. Together, they achieve their Ikigai by alternating roles, driving profit, and promoting the planet's well-being.

"Carrying Forward the Legacy of Empowerment, Sustainability, and Compassion" Baba Amte’s principles of servant leadership, sustainability, and human dignity continue to inspire me. His life's work—uplifting marginalized individuals, particularly those suffering from leprosy, and creating self-sustaining ecosystems—resonates deeply with the kind of leadership I admire. The values of empathy, innovation, and responsible leadership, where long-term sustainable solutions take precedence over short-term fixes, are what I strive to embody in my professional journey. Recently, I had the privilege of contributing to a CSR project that aligns with these values. The project is designed to provide renewable energy for leprosy communes, continuing the tradition of offering not just care but dignity and independence to those often forgotten by society. Baba Amte’s Anandwan is a symbol of such resilience and hope, where communities are empowered to become self-reliant and live with pride rather than charity. During this collaboration, I was honoured to receive a copy of "Khushboo ka Ehsas," published by the National Book Trust, India, from Shri Sudhakar Kadu, a trustee at Anandwan. This book, which highlights the essence of compassion and social upliftment, serves as a constant reminder of the deep impact leaders like Baba Amte have made on the world. It further motivates me to integrate these values of social responsibility, sustainability, and impactful leadership into everything I do. In today’s business environment, meaningful collaborations that reflect empathy and sustainability values are essential. Businesses can leverage their resources to create sustainable solutions that empower communities by partnering with organisations focused on social upliftment. This approach enhances corporate social responsibility initiatives and fosters innovation through diverse perspectives and shared goals. Being part of a project that brings sustainable solutions to those suffering from leprosy has not only been a humbling experience but a reaffirmation of the importance of responsible servant leadership and the transformative power of positive social change. #Sustainability #Leadership #BabaAmte #SocialImpact #Leprosy #CSR #RenewableEnergy #ServantLeadership #Empowerment

Corneille has said, “To win without risk is to triumph without glory.” That aptly applies to Arpit Dhupar, co-founder of Dharaksha Ecosolutions. One of the rare founders who is not only visionary but has a humble mission. Gratitude is an important soft skill for today's leaders to have. The fact that 15 cities in the top 20 most polluted cities in the world are from India, truly hurts everyone. And if anyone is taking any initiative to solve this problem, it becomes the duty of investors to support them. Hence the result was a 5-shark deal. #sharktankindiaseason3 #sharktankindiaseason3onsonyliv #sharktales

Starting Strong with Ganesha: The Deity of New Beginnings In Hindu tradition, before beginning any important work, we seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha — the remover of obstacles and the symbol of wisdom and prosperity. Just as businesses worship Ganesha to start positively, the same can be said for IT companies embarking on new projects or product launches. In our rapidly evolving tech world, challenges and obstacles are inevitable. Much like Ganesha’s role in clearing the path for success, IT leaders and teams need to anticipate and remove roadblocks — whether it’s ensuring flawless integration, adapting to fast-changing technologies, or streamlining workflows. By starting with the right mindset, proper planning, and a commitment to innovation, we channel the same values Ganesha represents: knowledge, foresight, and success. As we tackle IT projects and digital transformations, let’s take inspiration from Ganesha to remove the obstacles between us and our goals. Wishing everyone a prosperous and smooth path on your IT journeys! 🙏 #Ganesha #ITLeadership #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Wisdom #NewBeginnings
