I have observed (even before reading this article) how the entrepreneur is able to deliver customer service, compared to an organization-man!

India is celebrating… long weekends! Twice in this month! Long week-end, and a looooong post ☺ August 15th to 18th – Independence Day to Janmashtami (Sri Krishna’s birthday). Gods are smiling on us again. Yet another long weekend, though not ‘as long’. Aug 29th to 31st. Stating the obvious, most of these public holidays are ‘holy-days’, being related to festivals. I rate even Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanthi as holy-days. For our freedom fighters were not looking at liber

Another element that is being ignored is what many see as a different level of awareness, consciousness. Something people belonging to other groups are unable to fathom. It is not the good, old generation gap! When that perspective is also considered, the approach will be holistic and meaningful for the millennial....

Yoga for Executives. Does it sound too aspirational? A decade or two ago, I know leaders would laugh and say, “Yoga for executives like us? Are you joking?” But now, yoga is seen to be the top intervention for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. And for high-performing, under-high-pressure executives, yoga has manifold benefits. Yoga is way of life that leads to holistic wellness – physical, mental and spiritual. It promotes harmony of the body, mind and he

This topic has been trending in the media & social media.Nooyi’s candor is very inspiring, as she does not sugar coat the difficulty to ‘balance’ work/life or manage multiple roles. I was touched by her ability to display vulnerability. That ability perhaps makes her a leader with difference. As I read through the report, one thought stuck to me.
