And Naval have put me on a complete surprise with my dad coming in the first pedicure. Nazia, yeah, it's quite, I had actually, I knew that I'll have to talk to all of you and thank you and a lot of gratitude for that. But right now it's a bundle of emotions to get my family, my friends, my colleagues, everybody together, the only person who was not there was my dog. But yeah, I'm actually very, very truly overwhelmed by the kind words and the heartfelt recognition that you have bestowed upon me this evening. What I just witnessed can be made of, as I said earlier, bundle of emotions flowing and made me realize how much fortunate I am. Knowing each other is not an easy task, even if you spend 50 years you may not know. But I think I am very, very fortunate to have fantastic friends and colleagues. Knowing each other has been a journey and I have equally and more enjoyed this so far and I'm sure I'm going to do that more, especially when heart is full, words a few. But first and foremost, I would like to extend my thanks to Anurag, Naval, Nazia and the esteemed jury behind the E-Forum Influencer of the Year Award for this incredible honour. I am humbled to stand among such distinguished colleagues and visionary leaders who have revolutionized the industry and inspired unparalleled growth. I also want to take this moment to congratulate the past recipients of this prestigious award whose contributions have paid the way for professors like me. Srini was the second and that's been an inspiration as well. Reflecting on the past has subconsciously motivated me while the present continues to inspire me, reinvent and rediscover. I eagerly anticipate the countless energetic opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in the future. This platform on which I stand, sharing my thoughts with all of you is the two asset that I learned and it's a testament to the invaluable knowledge and wisdom that each one of you has graciously imparted to me. Amongst many things, there are three aspects that hold a special place in my heart and that too was only through my learning with interact with many of our friends and colleagues. First, being a leader means embracing responsibility and accountability, actively participating in shaping the ecosystem. Our collective achievements are a result of the harmonious interplay of every element within our ecosystem. Second, while we all play significant roles within our respective organizations, being an observer and a contributor demands giving our best to propel the industry forward in the right direction. It is imperative that we embody and reflect the values we have learned practicing selflessness and dedication so that together we can elevate the industry to new heights of growth. And finally, understanding that we are not alone but rather part of a relay where we receive the bait and then pass it to others. The people, our colleagues, the wider industry are the gems we run alongside making the journey a truly wonderful experience. I firmly believe that vision, determination and a willingness to take the risk are indispensable qualities for any leader. Throughout my journey I have run endlessly striving to embody these qualities. Knowing deep within that there is always more ground to cover I am eager to celebrate even more achievements and milestones that we collectively built in the coming days. Today I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to numerous individuals who have played a pivotal role in my journey while it would take an eternity to thank each and every one of you. I am mindful of the time so please bear with me. To every client who has interested me with their projects, business and allowed me to collaborate closely with them, I extend my sincere thanks. Your support and the opportunities provided to me have been invaluable and my drive to excel remains unwavering. To my partners, well I am incomplete without you.

You have been my strongest pillar and I thank you for being my side every moment. To my children, Nakul and Dev, thank you for being an integral part of my life. Although I must explain to my second one what this award means. He thinks the YouTube influence is an award but I'll have to tell him. Of course you know Sophie, my dog as I mentioned I should not miss it. You know I had friends messaging me and they said, I hope you don't forget Sophie. And my father whom I affectionately call Papus, thank you for everything that you've done in my life especially to those constant well wishes for any important meeting that I go. To my brothers and their families who have always been a source of inspiration and I'm grateful to their entire support throughout from my birth. My eldest brother, I call him upward. It is constant push to dream and be a better profession which has always made me to be at it. Finally to my closest friend, my childhood friend, some of them you saw him here. Your constant encouragement and grounding me, you know grounding presence every time, right? So every six months we catch up. I mean it's very easy in an industry like this to fly off. But this has ground me back again. Thank you each and every one of you.
