Dr. Pradyumna Pandey’s Post

When I close my eyes and envision you, qualities like humility, compassion, empathy, integrity, and excellence fill my thoughts. You will forever remain in our hearts and lives. 🙏 #RatanTata I spent 18 years working for ACC Limited, a company once part of the esteemed Tata Group. I was the second generation in my family to serve this organization, following in the footsteps of my father, who dedicated 35 years of his life to ACC. My father often shared a story from the 1960s about an ACC plant in Lakheri, Rajasthan. Back then, bullock carts were used for transportation. With time, motorized vehicles eventually replaced these carts. At one point, one of the two bulls used to pull a cart passed away. Faced with this situation, the management had to decide what to do. While they chose to write off and scrap the cart, they made a compassionate decision to continue feeding and caring for the remaining bull until its natural end. This story illustrates the deep sense of empathy and compassion instilled in the organization by visionary leaders like Ratan Tata. If such care could be extended to an animal, it speaks volumes about the commitment to valuing and supporting employees. An organization with this mindset ensures that it leaves no stone unturned when it comes to taking care of its people. Rest in peace Ratan Tata Sir.

The people you surround yourself with can either lift you up or hold you back. That's why it's crucial to choose your tribe wisely. You want to be surrounded by individuals who will champion you, even when you're not in the room. They're the ones who will celebrate your successes, support you through challenges, and encourage you to reach new heights. By choosing people who will cheer for you unconditionally, you'll create a network of positive influences who will help you grow and thrive. Remember, their unwavering support can propel you forward, even when you're not there to see it. So, be intentional about the company you keep and surround yourself with people who will be your biggest cheerleaders – you deserve it #ppinsights

WORK LIFE BALANCE #ppinsights Many of us eagerly await the weekend, but weekends can be so much more than just a break from routine. Use them as an opportunity to fuel your passions—start that project you’ve been dreaming about, learn a skill that excites you, or spend quality time with those who truly matter. Make time for your parents, and do something that makes you feel alive. When you begin to approach weekends with intention, you’ll feel more energized—even on Mondays. Work will become a part of your life, not your whole existence. This mindset will fast-track your personal and professional growth, creating a sense of balance and fulfillment. Remember, it's not about how many hours you have, but how you choose to use them. Your future self will thank you for making those hours count. #mondaymantra #lifelessons #WorkLifeBalance #worklife
