On August 16, 2023, I had the privilege and honour to share the stage with Vikram Kumar, Yashita Bansal, Senthil V. and John Walsh. It was part of a panel discussion mentored and moderated by Vikram and was on one of Incedo Inc.'s Eight Core Values: "One Global Team" on Values Day at Gurugram. I am incredibly grateful to Shathish Khanna Kumar for trusting me with this opportunity.
John talked about being inclusive, Yashita talked about Non-Hierarchical, Senthil talked about Collaboration, and I spoke about being Fair and transparent. We prepared well for the event the week before, thanks to inputs from Shailaja Venkat Iyer and Vikram. We had a handful of dry runs and reviews. And to add the cherry on top was Nitin Seth's session before our panel discussion. He elaborated on Incedo's Eight Core Values. I resonated with his views on Integrity, the Pursuit of Excellence and Being Audacious. I love having a CEO and a colleague who reaffirms the ideas of holding the highest ethical standards, zero tolerance for breach of trust and a firm obligation to dissent. In addition to all the guidance from Vikram, John, and the Team, Nithin's session brought out the best in me when I talked about being Fair and Transparent.
Maybe it was the aura of the day, the anecdote I was sharing, the presence of the tonne of experience to the right and left of me on stage and in front of me in the 2500+ audience across 5 locations; maybe it was a perfect blend of all the above, the spontaneity kicked in, and I said in the flow,
"𝘋𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵."
