Execution that Elevates the World

One of my favourite bands once had these lyrics in one of their most popular songs, which I have modified to say:

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. But I hope someday you will join, and together we will elevate the world as one." That’s why we are here today.

Today is about Ideas that Inspire, Conversations that Matter, and Connections that last a Lifetime.

My deepest gratitude to our Chief Guest, Keynote Speakers, Partners, Sponsors, Board members – past, present, and future , my mentors and to our incredible volunteers, and to all of you present today. Thanks for showing up! Its the volunteers that is the true force behind this conference.. Thank you!

I invite all of you to engage fully, think boldly, and to leave with at least one takeaway to help and support elevating ourselves, our teams, organizations, societies, and the world!

Let’s create the impact!

Welcome once again to Prabhanjana PMPC 2025! Let’s elevate the world!

Thank you!

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 wasn’t easy—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.

Here’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!
