This week, I have the privilege of gaining an up-close perspective on the technological #business landscape in India. This nation has not only emerged as a hub of innovation but also as a fertile ground for visionary leaders who are reshaping the global business environment. I'd like to share an intriguing fact: India has been raising a generation of executives who currently helm some of the world's foremost technology corporations. Take Google and Microsoft, for instance, with a combined market valuation of $4470 billion, steered by Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella, respectively. Both leaders are testament to the exceptional education and innovative mindset aligned with India’s technological prowess. Companies like Adobe, IBM, PaloAltoNet, and Micron have a substantial market capitalization and are propelled by CEOs such as Shantanu Narayen, Arvind Krishna, Nikesh Arora, and Sanjay Mehrotra, driving forces of relentless innovation and growth. 🔗 The presence of Ingram Micro in #India mirrors this very standard of excellence. With its significant footprint, Ingram Micro has been enhancing #technologicalsolutions, thereby ensuring the essential stream of products and services that bolster business growth, both within India and on a global scale. It's a phenomenon I am currently witnessing first-hand and for which I am deeply thankful.

Weighing the Risks: The Hidden Dangers of Raising Children in India As parents, our paramount concern is the safety and well-being of our children. My family's recent harrowing experience in #Hyderabad India has prompted me to share a crucial perspective for those indian origin parents considering raising their children in India, where safety regulations might not meet the standards you expect. Recently, my son, a US citizen being raised in India to foster close family bonds, suffered life-threatening injuries due to severe negligence at his grandparents' apartment complex owned by Vamsiram Homes / VAMSIRAM BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS PRIVATE LIMITED. The lack of basic safety measures like fencing and warning signs led to a devastating fall from ground floor podium to parking cellar, resulting in a dire medical emergency, including a Grade 3 Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI), kidney trauma, and multiple fractures. His fight for life in an ICU for over a week has been a grim wake-up call to the stark realities of systemic shortcomings. The eleven days he spent in the ICU were the most painful and terrifying of our lives. Every second was drenched in fear and uncertainty. The sight of my son, so small and fragile, connected to a maze of tubes and wires, underscored the precariousness of our situation. Sleep evaded us as we hung on to every small sign of improvement, each moment praying for his recovery. This incident exposes a broader issue: the perilous gaps in safety standards and enforcement in some overseas environments. Builder more focused on selling apartment than maintaining basic safety standards, lack of proper audits or corruption by Greater Hyderabad Muncipal Corporation before giving out occupany certificates are concerning issues. As much as living in India can offer enriching cultural experiences and family bonding, it also comes with potential risks that are often overlooked until tragedy strikes. With powerful builders such as Vamsiram involved, we can hardly expect any legal action taking place against them. For those contemplating a similar path, I urge you to consider not just the cultural and familial benefits but also the infrastructure and safety standards of the country. It's crucial to thoroughly investigate and continually advocate for the safety and security measures in any living situation abroad, ensuring that the environment is conducive to health and safety for our most vulnerable.

When making decisions, it's crucial to consider all perspectives. Just like tossing a coin can result in heads, tails, or even landing on its edge with no clear outcome, selective listening can lead to disastrous choices. Remembering the story of Shurpanakha and Ravana from Ramayana (Indian mythology) serves as a reminder that without understanding all sides, decisions can go astray. Analyzing situations from every angle is key to well-thought-out decisions. #leadership #decisionmaking
