Graduate Spotlight #1: Ajay Kasishwar
Profile: https://aford.be/graduate/ajay-kasishwar/ Role: Director of Communications, The Akshaya Patra Foundation (one of India's largest food relief organisations) | 20+ years cross-industry

Director of Communications at The Akshaya Patra Foundation. Over 20 years of experience. Already leading a team in one of India's most purpose-driven organisations.

He joined AFSM not because his career needed fixing — but because he wanted something more: the integration of spiritual depth and professional leadership into one coherent path.

"This isn't just a qualification — it's a journey of becoming a spiritually conscious thought leader."

Burnout doesn't start where you'd think.

New on the AFSM blog: alum and executive coach Dirk Winterer looks at the data on Gen Z workplace stress in Switzerland — and finds the same "inner skills gap" showing up, two decades later, in senior leaders and founder-CEOs he now coaches.

His MBA consultancy project set out to explore leadership development for young professionals. What he found instead was a pattern that runs through an entire career: the stress that starts early doesn't go away when you get promoted — it compounds.

A great read on what conscious leadership actually means in practice, and how AFSM's consultancy project turns real research into real-world impact.
