Growing up in the south, I shied away from my Indian roots.

I wanted to fit in.

To belong.

To be like everyone else.

Now get this… The very traditions I shunned?

They’ve become my superpower.
​
Here are 9 Ancient Indian concepts that I leverage to launch ventures & navigate boardrooms:

​
1. Karma: Action dictates destiny.
​
2. Seva: Success isn’t just about me.
​
3. Pranayama: Breathe in, stress out.
​
4. Ahimsa: Conflict with empathy.
​
5. Sankalpa: Goals become reality.
​
6. Sattva: Clarity in a chaotic world.
​
7. Dhyana: Meditation shapes my day.
​
8. Jugaad: Innovation in constraints.
​
9. Tyaag: Refined focus & decision-making.
​
​Here’s how to implement these concepts into your workflow.
