What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.

What’s the best part of your job? What do you enjoy the most?
Being creative and rethinking the problem case into an optimised and executable strategy which is S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time driven). No two customers are exactly same and their problems are not same, so creative thinking.
We’ve all faced personal and professional challenges these past two years - what motivates you to keep going?
Sometimes connect with cosmos and resonate within to spread positive vibrations. Yoga and meditation helped me to travel with kind and stable pace during these recent times, was it easy? No and again was it hard? Not if we quest and realign our inner levels.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
Never assume, don't be hasty, just hibernate sometime to resume with more power.
What does generosity mean to you?
It is our very behaviour passed on to us from generations, let us not loose the power of it and spread more to receive happiness back, just keep it active and wake it up!
How do you feel businesses can play a larger role in solving today’s biggest challenges? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
There are many challenges the world is facing but most of the challenges touch sustainability and being human centric ethos in this digital world along with diversities.
Sustainability should be an important principle across of the industries, the investments and visions should drive towards an ethical, secured and platforms that suit all the ages and all times.
Every department in an organisation plays essential role for the business to run and to look all the departments at same levels serving different responsibilities that completes a single big company vision puzzle. Being human connections are not only HR department focused but it should be inculcated as part of all the departments.
The businesses around the world addressing these principles, the world organisations and governments are working towards it, set their foot into these ideas and areas. There are more eco-friendly industries/businesses turning up and the consumers started assessing and shifting to these businesses.
It is a collective change happening across the world...
My organisation, TechForce Services has the above-mentioned as the core standards, human values are focus in a way that every employee gets an opportunity to learn and grow, the professional comfort resonates lot of positive vibes at personal end, this again adds to the company business goals. Its a win-win cycle and it sprouts and grows.

This is a challenge to execute like greatest symphonies of all to working together towards a common company goal in a standardised way.
There are many aspects to balance and grow together but community service plays vital role in our day to day lifestyle. There are many organisations that support and opportunities to share our happiness and knowledge to others, 1% pledge is one such organisations that drives and connects the businesses across the world to contribute by feeling responsible and contented.
There are many such stories and experiences that directs and motivates our journeys and destinations.
