Whatโs it like to learn leadership from someone who has helped shape the way India thinks, consumes and builds brands? For our students at ATLAS, it was nothing short of inspiring.
Today, we hosted an exclusive fireside chat with Mr. Sanjiv Mehta, Executive Chairman, L Catterton India, and former Chairman of Hindustan Unilever, a leader whose journey has left a lasting mark on Indiaโs FMCG landscape and who now plays a key role in shaping the countryโs evolving luxury and investment story.
From comparing leadership to making the perfect cup of tea - where timing, heat and ingredients must align, to introducing โHumbitionโ - the blend of humility and ambition, his insights resonated deeply with both our students and faculty.
In a world shaped by rapid technological change, he urged students to embrace AI, but never stop thinking, reinforcing that creativity and emotional intelligence remain timeless differentiators.
From insights on Indiaโs growing luxury market to advice on risk-taking, resilience and ownership, students walked away with a renewed mindset. Meeting a leader of his stature inspired excitement and pushed students to see new possibilities for themselves.
A big thank you to Mr Mehta for an engaging and insightful interaction that will stay with our students for a long time.
