Proud to partner with one of the premier insurance companies from the USA on their India launch. "Every Day, A Day To Do Right" best captures the ethos on which the brand is built. A story about its legacy that never leaves me is how, in the devastating 1835 New York fire, when 23 of the 26 insurers shut shop, The Hartford delivered all claims: https://lnkd.in/dkcmDdSH

Recently, I had the privilege of presenting at Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management, delving into a critical topic: 𝐏𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. I explored this challenge, building on insights from Harvard Business Review: “Why People Resist Embracing AI”. https://lnkd.in/gZzHi_Wz The article outlines five core obstacles that stand in the way of successful AI integration. In my talk, I unpacked these barriers and shared practical strategies leaders can use to overcome them—bridging the gap between technology’s potential and real-world impact. 💡 As leaders, understanding the human element of AI adoption is just as critical as the technology itself. #AI #Leadership #DigitalTransformation #TechTrends #Technology #AIAdoption #Human #MBA

As you may have seen, I have started a new journey of growth with an EMBA program. While doing my induction work, I had the opportunity to read a book by Peter Drucker: Managing Oneself (Harvard Business Review Classics). https://a.co/d/0acha8Te Key concepts (Generated from search) Know your strengths: Focus on what you do well and build on those strengths, rather than trying to fix weaknesses. Use feedback analysis: Regularly analyze your results to see where your strengths lie and where you are failing to perform. Understand your work style: Identify how you learn, how you work with others, and the type of environment where you are most effective. Be your own CEO: Take charge of your career, as companies no longer manage it for you. Prepare for a second career: Plan for a long career that may involve multiple shifts and new challenges. Cultivate lifelong learning: Develop a commitment to continuous learning to stay relevant and engaged. Each one of these concepts could be its own post to glean insights from others and share in individual experiences. Today I wanted to repost what I shared on my insight from the read, as it is something that is resonating with me each day. Post: Managing Oneself was an unexpectedly insightful read. The opening lines in “The Idea in Brief” immediately resonated with me: “If you’ve got ambition, drive, and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession—regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility.” Looking back over my 28+ years in a professional environment, I’m humbled by how true that statement feels. Where I am today is far from where I started, and the journey has been filled with challenge, growth, humility, and a lot of blessings. The themes Drucker highlights—understanding your strengths, knowing where you belong, and being intentional about how you contribute—have been central to my own career progression. Strategic thinking and planning have always been natural strengths for me, and I regularly use them to show where my team is succeeding and where opportunities exist. What struck me, though, was Drucker’s reminder that ideas alone aren’t enough. He writes that “a planner may find that his beautiful plans fail because he does not follow through on them… he believes that ideas move mountains; but bulldozers move mountains.” That contrast hit home. As someone who loves strategy, I’ve had to work hard on the discipline of execution—seeing plans through, staying focused, and resisting the urge to chase the next new idea too quickly. For me, success isn’t just generating the vision. It’s bringing it to life through consistent effort, collaboration, and the belief that the idea is worth the work. This article was a timely reminder that managing oneself is an ongoing practice, and one that will be especially important as I begin this master’s program. I hope this post spawns some reflection and encouragement to work to “Manage Oneself.”

India’s manufacturing decade is not just about capacity expansion. It’s about institutional strengthening. Policy momentum and capital availability are strong tailwinds. But sustainable scale will belong to organisations that invest early in governance, internal controls, technology integration and execution discipline. At SPR, our ongoing conversations with manufacturing leaders reflect a clear shift — preparedness is fast becoming a strategic differentiator. The decade will favour those who scale with structure. #IndiaManufacturing #PrimeTake #Governance #RiskManagement #ManufacturingLeadership #sprconsultech
