It's been an incredible year at Energy CX. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Contributing to something larger than yourself is both powerful and motivating. 2. Innovation is not just a buzzword, it’s a daily habit. 3. Personalization is the most powerful tool. 4. Simplicity is often the best strategy. 5. There is no support group that covers your brother being your boss. Looking forward to the year ahead.

Some dates are always special such as today, the date when we launched Silver Talkies Club six years ago in 2018, based on the inputs from attendees of our events. They wanted to meet more often, know their co-participants better and have more fun and engaging opportunities. Hence Silver Talkies Club was born in a time and age when active ageing, loneliness and isolation among older adults were not spoken about or discussed much in our country. I was in fact told by many peers that I was playing in a small niche field. Fast forward to 2024, almost every new player in the senior care space is looking at addressing similar issues with similar models. Did we start too early or did they start too late? I think it is immaterial for as they say that all's well that ends well. What is most heartening for me is to note that in the pic below all the people who became members in 2018 are still members in 2024, with the exception of one member whom we lost a few months ago. Six years of relationship still doing strong! So we must be doing something right:) Cheers to healthy ageing! #olderadults #activeageing #seniorcare #healthyageing #anniversary

A priveledge to work a person with his knowledge and integrity.

I recently made a mistake when celebrating a great month in our company.  We blew away our goal and I wanted to recognize our team. Instead of just congratulating our team for their great accomplishment, I threw in the dreaded "but" at the end of it. "but, next month will most likely be much different." There was no need for me to do this.  I intended to shield them from a possible letdown the following month since we always have a strong January. The "but" was not necessary at that time (and probably not at all). Celebrate your wins.  Recognize the success of your team - the other stuff can wait. A well-informed team already knows of the challenges that may lie ahead and is prepared to handle them. Let celebrating your wins stand on its own.  Do not dilute what your team accomplished. Interestingly, February came and they beat our target for that month as well.....and did it again in March.

This week marks my 3rd anniversary at Avery Dennison, reflecting as I like to do each year, here are my top three learnings from last year. Growth Mindset in Action: A growth mindset isn’t just a concept—it’s an active practice. It’s not about the books we read; it’s about stepping outside our comfort zones. Imperfect keynotes, pitches, and presentations are growth opportunities. Embrace them, learn, and strive for continuous improvement. Be an Agent of Change: In large corporations, it’s easy to accept the status quo. But relevance and improvement demand questioning the process. Keep asking “why?” until clarity emerges. If change is needed, don’t hesitate—be the catalyst for positive transformation. Choose Your Circle: Surround yourself with greatness. Seek out individuals who embody the qualities you aspire to and absorb them. Diversity matters—learn from people at different stages of their careers. Sometimes, fearlessness comes from unexpected sources. Remember, each day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a difference. Here’s to many more impactful years ahead! Pete Moylan, Andreas Althoff, Uwe Hennig and Ting Yee-Smith you were my first circle on day 1, three years ago. You do not realise how much each of you helped me in my first 6 months. For that, I am eternally grateful.

7 years of Rapyder, what a journey it has been!! It was an overwhelming day yesterday! The consistent, relentless hard work of #rapyDears, trust of #customers, support of Amazon Web Services (AWS), has culminated into this.

Thanks once again to all! Athreya Ramadas, Ajay Kumar KVSSN, Ashish Koul, Punit J.

As we near our 10th Anniversary celebrations at CM Advocates LLP, these are some of the most important lessons that I have come to embrace: 1. Don't try to be better; be different. In other words; always think differently; and often inverse. 2. You should be ruthless when it come to execution. Concerning this point, I wish to borrow these two quotes: (a) “Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.” – John Doerr (b) “Strategy without execution is hallucination.” – Thomas Edison 3. Always be bold and courageous. Never give room to fear or self doubt. In the words of Peter Drucker, “The best way to predict the future is to create it." 4. Resilience and agility are critical and indispensable skills or attributes in life and in business; therefore, cultivate them. By these I mean that we should always be ready to respond quickly to any disruptions or change. On this point, here is my favourite quote from the father of the rainbow nation, Nelson Mandela: "Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." And this too: "When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven't."~ Thomas A. Edison

Having a great team supporting you as a CEO is invaluable. A strong team brings diverse skills, perspectives, and ideas to the table, enabling you to tackle challenges from multiple angles. This collective brainpower fuels innovation and drives our company forward. Moreover, a supportive team creates a positive work environment where trust and collaboration flourish. This atmosphere not only boosts morale but also increases productivity and employee retention. As a CEO, knowing you have a reliable team allows you to focus on strategic decisions, confident that day-to-day operations are in capable hands. So, investing in a great team isn't just smart—it's essential for sustainable growth and success. Here's to 22 years and many more!
