TRANSCRIPT

I  grew  up  in  India  

Not  quite  this  kind  of  India  

More  this  kind  ;)  

I  have  a  bachelors  in  Computer  Engineering  from  long  ago  

So…  

The  first  lesson  I  learnt  

Everybody  has  to  do  their  Dme  in  trenches.  You  can  pick  whether  its  not.  Or  when  you’re  older.  But  you  have  to  do  it.  

Funny  thing  about  money.  The  more  you  chase  it,  the  less  you  find.  The  moment  you  stop,  and  find  things  you  want  to  do,  it  starts  to  chase  you.  

The  second  lesson  I  learnt  

Ben  Gomes  and  different  story  

Next  lesson:  Failure  is  OK  

7  years,  9  countries,  14  offices  

100s  of  friends  and  plenty  of  family  

I’ve  observed  many  lessons.  Many  I  sDll  have  to  learn.  

Its  about  people   Its  about  following  your  heart  

Its  about  a  passion  for  what  you  do  

Its  about  doing  what  you  know  is  right  Deliver  value  

Social  responsibility  

But  what  was  the  most  poignant  lesson  ?  

Uganda  2012  

Its  not  about  leadership.  Its  not  about  followership.  

It  is  about  fellowship
