Yesterday, all eyes were on the Finance Minister's Budget speech, followed by endless analysis and discussions. Today, newspapers across India are filled with headlines answering one simple question for every stakeholder - 'What's in it for Me?' Each stakeholder viewed it through their unique lens: corporates and startups scrutinized tariff concessions and emerging business opportunities, while the salaried class and small business owners eagerly searched for tax benefits and potential savings. The government itself balanced dual objectives – positioning the economy for high growth while potentially expanding their voter base. This cascade of perspectives illustrates how the question 'Whats in it for Me?' shapes our everyday decisions. At work, it drives career choices and business partnerships. At home, it influences our relationships and personal commitments. Each day, we find ourselves asking or answering the question 'Whats in it for Me?', as we navigate both professional ambitions and personal growth.

From the professional perspective, answering 'What's in it for Me?' is essential for building strong business partnerships and accelerating organizational growth. In our startup Jeevitam, we are on a high growth trajectory, we are always on the lookout for talent offering them high growth opportunities and at the same time helping create impact in an Innovative way.

From a personal perspective, 'What's in it for Me?' guides us toward meaningful life choices and genuine fulfillment. Work, where we spend a significant portion of our lives, must offer opportunities to meet our passion. At Jeevitam, I find purpose in creating Something Big, Something New, and Something Impactful every day, while helping build wealth for all the stakeholders and partners. Beyond work, I like investing time with my family and friends, which helps fill my life with the love and affection we all seek – the true rewards that make life rich and worthwhile. I think the key is finding the right balance: Let's choose work that ignites our passion, let's nurture relationships that fill our heart, and create value in everything we do. I believe when we answer 'What's in it for Me?' with both our head and heart, we will find opportunities that serve not just our growth, but lift everyone around us.
