To make a mark -Its Belief, Attitude & Timing!

24 years ago, in 2001, a young Bengaluru boy who moved to Mumbai in 2000 to work at one of Asia's largest software company TCS had the opportunity to attend his first Family Day function in Mumbai. At the time, he was an engineer immersed in coding, debugging, and supporting IT systems for a telecom client. 

Living in a city that never truly sleeps, he joined the countless hard-working individuals traveling long hours by train from the suburbs to their workplaces. In the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, he found himself surrounded by talented colleagues, many from prestigious institutions like IITs and RECs. Competing with such accomplished peers, making a mark wasnโ€™t easyโ€”and making a lasting one seemed even harder. But with his knowledge, unwavering attitude, and presence of mind, he did just that.

Through the ups and downs of the past 25 years, he has continuously demonstrated that perseverance pays off. 

From those early days in Mumbai to today, he has earned recognition, achieved success, and continues to inspire.

Hereโ€™s to the power of belief, hard work, and resilience. 

As the saying goes:  

"Good things come to those who believe.  

Better things come to those who work hard.  

The best things come to those who never give up."

To many more years of growth, learning, and success!

A man who, at the age of just 19, endured unimaginable pain, facing 17 bullets and near-certain death, yet still fought relentlessly. His courage, unwavering belief in his mission, and dedication to his comrades during the Kargil War led to him becoming the youngest recipient of Indiaโ€™s highest military honorโ€”the Param Vir Chakra.

Captain Yadavโ€™s story isnโ€™t just about survivalโ€”it is the definition of ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜, ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ณ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ, combined with exceptional teamwork and leadership. Against extreme weather, treacherous terrain, injuries, loss, and overwhelming odds, he showed us what true leadership and sacrifice look like. His bravery is a shining example of what can be achieved when you push beyond your limits and stay focused on your mission. It is a call to action for all of us to embrace courage, no matter the challenges we face. Itโ€™s a reminder that with unwavering commitment, anything is possible.

Adapting to AI Evolution

 I had a fantastic experience sharing insights on "Adapting to AI Evolution" with over 100 enthusiastic students at IEEE & MEA Engineering College! We explored the core concepts of AI, its history and impact, and discussed key components such as machine learning, neural networks, and data science. We also covered the challenges faced by newcomers in the field and essential skills and strategies for thriving in AI. A big thank you to the IEEE & MEA coordinators and Professor Rahul for organizing this event. Looking forward to more opportunities to engage and support the next generation of AI professionals!
