Could you tell us about your professional journey and the inspiration behind establishing TransGanization Creation?
My professional journey commenced at Arthur Andersen after graduating from IIT Bombay, where I felt constrained working strictly within defined scopes. This realization deepened during the Enron scandal. During my journey through Andersen and KPMG, the problem persisted. After pursuing my further education at ISB and Kellogg School of Management, I became an HSBC scholar. Yet deep within, the challenges I had witnessed in the organizations I consulted with during my earlier employments haunted me. Hence,
my journey with Sab TV, and then Jawed Habib only strengthened my belief. Here, I had a complete view, control and flexibility to bring improvements that led to overall organizational impact. Overall, the experience of identifying a void and then actually witnessing a massive transformation by filling that gap led to my first book "TransGanization”, a road map to Transforming Organizations. The urge to make it possible for the SME sector of our country to make best use of this very understanding led to the birth of TransgGanization Creation.
Over the past decade, we've transformed mindsets and organizations, working intimately with over 400 companies, through a companionship model over the traditional method of consulting. Our approach embraces adopting ancient Indian learnings to guide entrepreneurs in building their success stories.
Share with us your academic experience from the Indian School of Business. What did you learn from the campus beyond academics?
My academic journey at the Indian School of Business (ISB) unfolded a profound revelation through the course "Leadership Lessons from World Literature." It shattered the conventional belief that disciplines like science, art, and commerce exist in isolation. This course illuminated the critical role of emotions in every facet of life, be it professional endeavours, family dynamics, or personal growth. The intertwining of emotional and spiritual intelligence emerged as the cornerstone of effective decision-making.
Beyond academic confines, ISB became a platform for me to delve into uncharted territories, exploring the nexus between a person's environment and their ability to create or dismantle. The enduring lesson: true success lies not just in intellectual prowess but in harmonizing emotional, spiritual, and technical dimensions for a fulfilled and ethically grounded life.

extraordinary capabilities. We advocate a philosophy of 'love all, serve all, give all' challenging the scarcity and self-centered mindset. As an Extreme Ownership company, we offer a comprehensive suite of services from strategizing to implementation of progressive systems, processes, and policies across all departments and domains of the organizations we work with. We do not restrain ourselves with a strict scope that overlooks interdependencies that essentially define how organizations really work.

Additionally, our upcoming funding initiative aims to eliminate financial barriers, ensuring our partners take the final leap towards greatness.
What principles and methodologies guide your leadership approach, ensuring effective guidance and cohesion within your team?
My leadership ethos is encapsulated in the mantra of Love, Serve & Give. It embodies selflessness, with a focus solely on others. This philosophy extends to a distinctive 'lose-win' leadership approach. I strive to immerse myself in the victories of those around me, believing that authentic leadership means losing oneself in the success of others. Unlike conventional win-win paradigms, my strength lies in relinquishing personal gains for the collective benefit of the team.
What is the future destination you are headed towards?
Our trajectory is far beyond the conventional; it's a 50-year vision. Illustrated in a transformation roadmap, the destination is to elevate Indian SMEs into global giants. Cultivating a culture-aligned team to a bigger purpose will be the only mantra of real transformative growth. Our upcoming initiatives include the creation of a conscious business fund for equity participation, as well as knitting a strong community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs. The ultimate vision is to become the world's sole large portfolio investor-operator, reshaping the landscape of organizational transformation.
