I learned that success isn't just about individual accolades but about growing together as a team 🤝 The bonds we formed and the moments we shared are memories I cherish deeply ❤️ Reflecting on this journey, I'm filled with gratitude 🙏 for the people who believed in me and helped me grow.

The HEART comes before the HEAD If you observe the most successful leaders be it in the corporate, political, sports or social service space, there is a common trait in all of them - they are good in managing people and their emotions They have cracked the code of People management coz they understand that the heart comes before the head They very well know that you can’t move people to action unless you 1st move them with emotions These leaders connect with people on personal and work levels. In return, people trust them a lot. They would even agree to move a mountain on their word. It's not really a secret, but many leaders forget this simple yet important point #leadership #HR #people

In FY23, India's unspent CSR funds reached a five-year high of ₹1,475 crore. This reflects a concerning trend of underutilization in corporate social responsibility, with companies spending an average of only 1.91% of their net profits—below the mandated 2%. To bridge this gap, businesses must prioritize early planning, strategic partnerships, and focus on initiatives that offer sustainable impact. It's time we recognize CSR as not just a legal obligation, but a powerful tool for societal transformation. #CSR #Sustainability #CorporateResponsibility #CSRProfessionalsIndia #SustainabilityandCorporateSocialResponsibility (CSR)

The Festive Season is here! 🎆 🎁 The Indian Festive Season is more than just joy and celebrations; it significantly impacts sectors like services, manufacturing, travel, hospitality, retail, and entertainment. Cultural events inject billions of rupees into the economy, creating numerous job opportunities. According to a recent release by Abhi and Niyu on YouTube, the Ganpati Festival in Maharashtra alone generates around INR 2 lakh crores of additional revenue annually! Festivals like Ganpati, Durga Puja, Diwali, etc not only boost domestic tourism but also attract international travellers, leading to a surge in demand for hotels and restaurants. During this period, the food and beverage industry, especially mithai sales, sees a significant increase. The entertainment industry strategically schedules releases on various platforms to capitalize on the festive season, further boosting revenues. Corporate and Social gifting during the festive season has evolved into a multi-billion rupee industry, driving innovation in products and services to stay ahead. During my tenures at Marriott International - India and TajSATS, the festival season played a vital role in achieving our key performance indicators, requiring meticulous planning and sales forecasting months in advance. The intense competition pushes businesses to innovate their products and services further. As we usher in the Festive Season 2024, I extend my best wishes to my friends in the industry for a successful season ahead. 🙌 #IndianFestivals #EconomicImpact #CulturalCelebrations #Gifting #FestiveSeason #Hospitality

Once I was asked to build a sales team of approx. 50 members. That included NSM (National Sales Manager), RSM (Regional SM) and people below. Time: 2 months. I started with all the zeal I had. Whole day I was talking to people! Morning to late evening. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀: only 15 people are onboard. I went to Business Head, "Boss, looks like I have not made it" He looked at the numbers and said, "Sahi to hai (it looks alright to me!)... There are 33 people in the pipeline, to join in another 30-35 days. Notice is other companies is anyway 90 days, and don't get them before that!" 😍 And then he showed me the poster on his wall, which said, "𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹" Opportunities don’t come from nowhere.

Evolving Dynamics & Deliverables: The dynamics of time demands different deliverables & the leader of a company also falls in the vicinity of 'Dynamics of Time' & should be aligned with the deliverables of that time. When Ganguly became the captain of the Indian cricket team just after the Match fixing saga, his prime deliverables were to unite the Team & keep them motivated & inspired, tangible results were not that paramount. Ganguly did that very well by nurturing talents like Harbhajan Singh, Shewag, Dinesh Mongia, Yuvraj Singh, Mohd. Kaif, Zaheer Khan to name a few. The process took a bit of time to foster well & luckily, the youngsters & the seniors struck a purple cord between themselves to perform well for India. When the team was made & the youngsters were mature enough to announce themselves in the global stage, the deliverables of Ganguly changed rapidly. Now he was expected to win matches, win World Cups & the same Ganguly started to behave a bit differently.He became a bit target oriented. The same thing also happens in the company of changing dynamics.When the KPI of one leader was to make a team, establish the company, things like Revenue, Profits are not that paramount expectations as the leader has a different task to perform. But when the leader makes a team & establishes the company with his Leadership prowess, the expectation of the same company changes to tangible outcomes i.e. Revenue, Profit, Growth percentage, Cash flow etc. The new deliverables will change the thought process of the same leader & he/she becomes target oriented & people find him/her a bit different & think that the Boss has changed with Fame. It's not exactly like that. It's just that the deliverables have been changed & the leader has to align himself as per company's deliverables & for this, the mindset, the thought process, the strategy & yes, some behavioural changes are required. So when the employees of the same company analyse the Two sides of the same Leader at different times, they should also have a wiser look at the 'Changing Dynamics & Deliverables' of their company. The 'Wishlist' of any company keeps on changing over time & the Leader of the company also changes himself/herself accordingly to deliver the required deliverables as the time demands.

Leadership Lessons from Mom! This Mother's Day, I've been contemplating the profound lessons learned from my strong bond with my mother and how she's influenced not just me personally, but also my views on leadership. My mother, lovingly referred to as 'Mamma', had a career in banking spanning nearly three decades before choosing voluntary retirement. She expertly balanced her roles as a wife, an exceptional mother to two children, managed our home, and excelled in her job simultaneously. Despite her exhaustion, she was always there for us, nurturing, guiding, and supporting our family every step of the way. During challenges, my mother provided unwavering comfort, reminding me that failure is a stepping stone to success. When I expressed my aspiration to become a leader, she smiled and shared a childhood story where my inclination towards giving back and helping others shone through. Her insight highlighted qualities of leadership—empathy, kindness, and the ability to unite others for a common cause. Observing my mother's resilience, compassion, and strong connection with others inspired me deeply. Inspired by my mom’s words, I embarked on my journey. Her love was boundless, encouraging growth, instilling confidence, and offering a safe haven during tough times. She selflessly sacrificed for my well-being, instilling in me a sense of duty towards others. The bond has taught me several valuable leadership lessons: Empathy and Understanding: Understand the perspectives of those you lead. Empathy builds trust and fosters strong relationships. Encouragement and Support: A mother's encouragement can move mountains. Similarly, leaders who support & uplift their teams, offering guidance and feedback help teams succeed. Resilience in Adversity: Embrace failure as a learning opportunity. Stay resilient in the face of challenges and use setbacks as stepping stones to growth. Value Relationships: Think about a mother-daughter duo—strong and deeply connected. Cherish the connections you have with your team members. Strong relationships create a positive work environment and drive success. Lead by Example: Set a positive example through your actions and decisions. Your integrity and dedication will inspire others to follow suit. This bond has significantly influenced my leadership style, emphasizing nurturing, guiding, uplifting, celebrating victories, and prioritizing team success and development. Here's to the incredible mothers who are our first and forever leaders! Happy Mother’s Day! #Leadershiplessons #Nurturing #Inspiring #Empowering #HappyMothersDay

Unethical sales are often carried out by salespeople 😓 ("ye toh zaria hai zaria") , but they are actually forced to do so by their managers, TLs, and senior management 😠. ( Asli Gunehgar ) When sales numbers are low 📉, they compare unethical sales figures to those of genuine performers to hurt their ego 😞, leading the entire system to turn into an unethical model 🚨. Despite knowing the real numbers, they project false ones to gain appreciation and budgets 💰. Waiting to hear from all the ethical Managers who faced this. #sales #salesdrive #pushedsales #ethics #unethical #salespeople
