And This is Just a Moment in Time!

 This day, this match, had to come, of course, for Roger Federer, and for tennis, just as it inevitably must for every athlete in every sport. Roger Federer reimagined the game of tennis. No one had ever played it with his combination of speed, power, creativity, and grace. Federer was much more than a balletic performer who danced across the stage displaying his artistry. What made Federer more than an artist, and one of the greatest champions in any sport, was the deep competitive fire he brought to the game. The package – all poise, precision, and perfection – sometimes seemed too good to be true. Roger Federer played 24 years on tour, more than 1,500 matches. Yet he never retired during a match due to injury. What finally forced Federer to step away from the game, at 41 was his simple inability to compete. After all the high-flying magic, all the legend-making, all the on-court poetry, it was a simple, pedestrian matter of Federer’s body not being able to carry out the wishes o...

Each One Help One!

 This week I was in Mumbai meeting our Existing and Prospective Clients. While we meet the clients, there is always something we learn from our clients. While we are launching our Audacious Project of helping over one Million Women/Girls find Sustainable Livelihood, one Big learning came from a client if we could ask one successful working woman to help another Woman/Girl become Self Dependent, this will help increase Women Workforce Participation in a Big Way. I personally believe it's a Big Idea that if executed well can really make a tremendous impact. I believe All women who are Working & Self-Dependent are an Inspiration for Women/Girls who are Aspiring to become Self-Dependent. All Successful Women besides working hard must have received support/help from Someone to become what they are today. I believe if Each One of them just Help One Woman/Girl become Self-Dependent, this is the best way for them to give back what they had received for them to be successful. 'We ma...

Summon the Courage to defy Convention!

There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against convention. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all risks and rational arguments, we believe that the path we are choosing is the right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead. This is the kind of passionate conviction that sparks romances, wins battles, and drives people to pursue dreams others wouldn’t dare. A few months back in our Startup Jeevitam, we got the opportunity to skill over one Million People in one Year. We took the challenge and now we are on our way to achieving the given number. Similarly, we summoned the courage to defy the convention and took on the Audacious Project to help at least one Million Women/Girls find Sustainable Livelihoods. I think belief in ourselves and in what is right catapults us over hurdles, and our lives unfold. It might take a little bit or a lot of courage, ...

Let's Work Together!

We have been working on the launch of the Audacious Project for over a month now, to help at least one million Women/Girls find Sustainable Livelihood, Financial Inclusion, Access to Government Schemes & Capacity Building. While the intent is to Increase Women's Workforce Participation in India, we are clear that it will require the participation of all the stakeholders to make it a Movement. So while designing the project, we created a Plug & Play format wherein everyone and anyone from the Government, Corporates/Startups, Academia, Skilling Universe & Philanthropy world can participate in whatever capacity, as per their capability, and wherever/whenever they wish to participate. We know Working Together requires a lot of Patience, a lot of Hard Work, and a lot of Persistence, but in the end, it helps achieve the desired objectives. When We Work Together, We make the Impossible Possible. Since the launch of the Project, we have been working on creating and building Int...
