me and my beliefs

Introducing myself and my beliefs
All of 42 years, I have lived what we call, a "normal life ", education, parties, jobs ...and doing the jobs for over 20 years their are beliefes and skill sets that seem to converge today ...dig a little and my professional career though on a good high has been a journey of constant self evalutaion, a strife for independent ambitions...starting my journey as a hotelier I was managing sales a first for Sofitel Surya and then the Park hotel chains and with the team responsible for a complete transfrmation business wise, product wise and positioning wise...that I think was my true calling in my career...build, or turnaround from scratch. Something I think I took well form my parents, who are both retired doctors. After 10 years of doins so, Iveutred to build a professionals network (just about the time when Deveng Mehta was setting up Nasscom) my aim was to impact carrers and quality if life for profeesionals by bringing them and their families together, give them an opportunity to network, and learn and enjoy...as a 32 year old, i chucked up my job got good success 200 members in the first year...over 75 ceos, coos, 11 diplomats, doctors, lawyers, Government guys etc and then the mind was swayed (swayed as i look back today) by the dotcom possibilities and what a journey that was...for all of 1.5 years we changed the business plans and soon the survival plans till the world said no more....took a step back and jumped into the next shinning star ..the BPO industry...10 years down the line with a lineup of successful and a few painful experiences, i was in my small humble state ready to take this business to the next level and also ensure that India remains the superpower if this industry....as a non software trained person, trained from the outside...the business applications of the software part.....i got operations + software integrated and a design that can automate all functions of the and provide huge cost savings to all operations...even to non BPo today....with this concept in hand i got venture funding to launch a unique consulting company where software , consulting eperience, analytics and six sigma are now combined to offer an altogether next level of managing an outsourcing operations of managing a vendor strategically....here i am..ready to take this to the world as outsourcing is not confined to a geography...can I be an infosys of outsourcing...i dare to dream....but the mind is NOT AT REST...was in Mumbai when the 26/11 struck, my partner was a close friend of the top cops who got killed and so shared inadvertently some of the anxious moments but by and large realized how fragile it could be to live a life of an INDIAN. It just takes a few moments of TV time or media time to realize the depth of the seriousness of where we are and where we could be soon....as you take off the hype part of the media...lies exposed the massive forces from outside and within to threaten of what the world sees as the second fastest growing economy...3 days of terrorism wiped out 2 qurters of tourism in India....9 men could destablaize a 1 plus billion people country for a week and till today so what about thousands of them now safetly camping in swat a stones throw from the capital of Pakistan.(a nuclear power)...I look within ...to a cop on the road, how ready does he seem to takeon whats surely coming his way...to the elections manifestos,to the every changing politcal alliances in the newspapers ...to the fake currency that is now normally emerging at the counters of our top banks, to the recession that is taking down the once mighty business houses, to naxalites staking claims on the land by simply perching up a red flag and thats it ....the way our generals fought the Kargil war...some of them took off to a foreign land for a tour ....while frontline ranks were murdered...and listen to similar thoughts, noises around me..educated, aware, confused, hopeful some and hopeless most to know that we are LIVING ON BORROWED time...prosperity does not live in the land of insecurity...and that has never been more real than it is today. a friend on the blog commented, lack of leadership, another lack of a platform and yeat we are a billion ...cant deny that number....i await my inner self to gain more insight of me....of what and how much i care to dare ...in the meanwhile we all have jobs to do...9 to 5 (as they say)
