We all know the ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ is one of the most reputed business families.
With their ๐ฃ๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ , they can onboard any top CEO or consultant at will.
So, when ๐ ๐ฟ. C K Kumaravel ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ผ ago and said,
โVimal, I want you to help me with two growth challenges. Can we meet?โ
The 1st question that popped into my mind was: โ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ข๐?โ
When we met yesterday, the answer became clear.
He said,
โVimal, I studied your book. The way you spoke about ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐๐ฃ๐, ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐๐จ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จโdrawn from your India and Dubai experienceโmade me feel you are the right person to support us as a consultant.โ
That moment reminded me of something powerful:
๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ.
I accepted this opportunity with deep gratitude. I honestly couldnโt have asked for a better start to the year for our ๐๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐ฝ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป.
What makes this extra special is the full circleโ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค, and today, that same book has become the foundation of our consulting journey together.
We had wonderful conversations, a happy time, and as always inspired & motivated with his candid insights.
Also grateful to receive his thoughtful giftโproducts from ๐ก๐ซ๐ง๐๐๐๐, a Gen Zโfocused, AI-driven D2C skincare brand founded by ๐๐จ. ๐พ๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ข๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐. Innovation clearly runs in the family, with both his son and daughter building exciting startups.
๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป:
When you stay authentic and add genuine value, the right doors openโoften without you knocking.
Grateful. Grounded. And excited for what lies ahead.
