Where I am
Returned to Ahmedabad after 10 days in China. China’s experience enriched me with fresh perspectives. I saw a strong “doing energy” in most Chinese teams … a real bias for doing things. Inspiring.
Made a 3-day stop in Mumbai. Stayed at JW Marriott. Heavy rain. Quick meets and meals at HiLo, Soho House, and The Lalit.
Heading to Germany next week for about 10 days.
Then to Dubai for GITEX 2025.
Back to Europe around 19 October.
What I’m focused on
After leading our AI transformation, I’m restructuring our international footprint.
I’m also considering renaming entities. Not out of dislike. Identity shifts bring a fresh perspective.
Shareholding changes are on the table to strengthen our global stance.
Exploring a shift into these verticals:
-
IT / Technology Company
-
Venture Builder / Studio / Incubator
-
Industrial / Manufacturing Enterprise
-
Fashion / Lifestyle / Café Businesses
-
Global Exports & Trade
I’ve enrolled in an Organizational Development program with 9 team members.
I’m raising my own game so the next version of our businesses gets a better version of me and our leaders.
Better is a matter of mindset.
I’m building mindset, skillset, and drive across the team. When they thrive, the business does too.
I continue to share my content on LinkedIn, my blog, and Substack.
#DhandheKaFunda continues to help people. That matters.
What’s next
Decide on the restructuring of our global holding company, Upsquare businesses, and related initiatives.
Launch a podcast studio under House of Starts. It goes live soon.
Shared vision and shared value creation drive 2025 and beyond.
