 All right, we will get started. Did you guys have a good conference? It's a biased audience, like I always say. The ones who didn't have not stuck around. Yeah, I mean, just wanted to thank everyone for coming in and making this a great experience. I think the speakers, again, everyone did a fantastic job in keeping the audience engaged. I know Woody had a challenge during his first session, but he kept going. And people really appreciated that. So I think the feedback, generally, from the sessions has been very positive. And I want to thank all the speakers for doing a wonderful job traveling all the way. The volunteers did a fantastic job making sure the sessions were running on time. I think that's, again, something we really take pride in in terms of keeping the time and not letting the whole thing snowball. So I think everyone did a fantastic job. And last but not the least, all the attendees, I think you guys supported us, made sure, even when things were not perfect, you kind of took it as your own conference and tried to run it, so kind of greatly appreciated. And of course, our wonderful sponsors who've helped us put this event together want to thank them as well. I think we have folks from Zoho, Lean Wisdom, ThoughtWorks, and PM Power Consulting. So again, thank you all for the wonderful support in supporting this conference. Again, I keep saying we don't do a lot for the sponsors, but hopefully you did get some value and would continue to support the conference in the coming year. And of course, like I've said, next year is the 20th year, and everyone's expecting something spectacular. So I was suggesting that we do the conference outside India. That wouldn't be fun. A lot of speakers come to India because they like the Indian food, the Indian people, and the Indian tradition and things like that. So that's going to get missed. So we'll keep that. So I think, again, the plan is to keep the next conference again in March time frame that's originally when Agile India used to be running. So we moved it this year on a short notice, but we want to move so that we can continue it in March. And then there's some predictability for people saying, yes, March is when the event is, and they can plan things around it. Before I get into announcing some winners of some contests and stuff like that, if there are any questions still unanswered for you folks, I know someone was asking me, how do I become a volunteer for the conference? So every year when we announce the conference, we call out for program committee members, and we also call for volunteers who can come help us run the event. So since you've all been part of this event, for sure you will get an email from our side. It also, if you're following us on any social media, you'd also see it over there. So for sure you would kind of know when the next event is happening, and we would be doing the call for the program committee, the call for proposals as well. This time we had very little time, so we couldn't actually do the call for proposals. We ended up selecting speakers mostly from our own past experience, but next year we'll go back to using the open submission and doing call for proposals from there. So you have opportunity to participate in the conference on multiple fold, one is by submitting proposals to speak at the conference, being part of the program committee to help select, give feedback to the speakers, improve their proposals, and lastly by volunteering at the conference and helping us run the show and making sure it continues to be a good show for everyone. Cool, so that was one question I think folks had. Any other questions that are not answered yet? Everything's answered, okay, cool. I think I just wanted to then quickly announce the winners of the contest that Lean Wisdom folks were running. So I think they had a certification voucher worth 50,000 rupees contest running. Yesterday I think they had two winners, Senthil Kumar from Ford and Rohit from Z Omega. I don't know if you were around. And today they had Kiran from Prakati Private Limited and Balaji Rao from PP. These are the two folks that won the contest today. Are they around? Oh, your colleagues, okay. I thought you won the contest. Cool, did Zoho have any announcements to be made? You've already distributed all the prizes in. So the enterprise plan for the Zoho sprints, so if anyone's interested, they can still avail the offer. Cool, all right. With that, I think there's not much, so we can all go back, continue. Hopefully you'll take some lessons back from here and come back next year to tell us how that's helped improve things back at your company. That's one thing that, at least I'm very proud of, that every year we hear from people that they learn stuff from here, they've tried something, they maybe invented some of their own stuff, and then they come back and share that with us. So that's what keeps the community growing and learning from each other and we wanna keep that spirit going. So we'd appreciate to, and would love to hear what were your takeaways and how you've tried to implement them at work. Cool, does anyone want to share a story from something that they learned and tried? Just as an example, from past few years, some lot of familiar faces trying to put someone on spot. Siddharth? I mean, while I could share stories from the past, I'd like to share something from this conference, like from yesterday or the day before. Jules had this talk about, particularly we were doing retrospectors and how you can sort of, yes, thank you. Sorry, I didn't know if she was here or not. But she had a very interesting talk about how you could, if you want to do retrospector, how do you move forward? So how do you think about, okay, what is the best possible path that you could? And what is the worst possible future that you could find yourselves? Which is very different, we were doing retrospectors for what I had done. And we were in the actual act of doing a retrospective and my colleagues and I, we actually tried Jules's technique and I thought it was significant improvement on what we were trying to do before. And I don't know what will come out of it, but the retrospective that we did was super useful in my opinion. So that's a story from the day before yesterday. So good evening folks. So I'm from Zoho, I'm Kritika. So we've been associated with Agile India since 2018. So the very reason why we do it every year or we try our best to be a part of this event is, you know, irrespective of how many attendees attend the event, it is all about the quality of conversations that you engage with, right? So that is always been great with Agile India. So I'll have to always give the credits for that. So that's something that I would like to share with all of you. And also I really enjoyed Mr. Richard's workshop on team transformation. And I just wanted to share one point about that. Personally, I'm just taking back the team transformation canvas with me and I wanna put that one into practice very desperately because there are a lot of cultural factors that, you know, might have an influence on how you work or how you build a team's emotional intelligence, right? So in India, especially me being from South India, I can very confidently tell that, you know, we have this tendency to romanticize a few things. At the same time, normalize a lot of things, right? So we do not talk about the personal issues or issues at workplace very openly or very transparent. We don't do it. You know, most of the teams or most of the businesses in the corporate culture, it's mostly work-driven or output-driven, right? So you just tend to overlook a lot of things like, you know, it could be your mental health that is having, that is just putting you into a bad light that day or it is just not your day. But, you know, you are in this constant frame of mind where you think, oh, what is my manager gonna think about me or is it going to put me into the bad light if I'm just coming up by myself and the public or whatever it is, right? So this specific workshop that Mr. Richard did, it is all about, you know, showing you and, you know, I would not want to say the system's hypothetical or something. I really wish we live in this ideal world where we are just filled with all non-judgmental, healthy, you know, corporate folks where you just tend to discuss issues very transparently because we emote in different ways. If it's just not your day, people emote in very different ways. So one could be an introvert or one could be an extrovert or one could be an ambivert. You never know, your peer wouldn't know. How would you actually signal it out, you know? Not everyone is very vocal about what they think. So that specific workshop was something like, ah, this could work, man. So, you know, so I just really want to put that into practice and I would highly recommend teams here or, you know, I'm just here to just spread that word or I'm just here to recommend that workshop to more people. So if at all, if you have not been a part of that workshop, you can just go check out the slides or, you know, take a printout of that canvas and just share it with your team. So we'll have to do it on a routine and we must normalize speaking up for ourselves actually at workplaces. We must normalize talking about mental health issues at workplace. We must normalize being not okay at work and we must normalize being okay with not being so productive all the time and we must normalize having failures as well, right? It's not going to be always our day. It's not going to be always our time, right? And I think when the world starts normalizing that it's going to be everyone's day, right? And with that note, I would just like to sign off and thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you, Krutika, very well said. And we've become an evangelist for the session. So that's great. Thank you, very well said. Hi, everyone. My name is Usha. One common theme which I've heard from many speakers is the power of small improvements, tiny habits. So this that I've heard in the form of different messages reminds me of an incident when my son was small. Now my son is about 14 in the 10th standard when he was about two to three years old. We would often try to get him to swim in the kids pool. He was very afraid of water. We tried so many things. Cokesing him or giving him some motivation didn't work. Once we had gone to a resort in Kerala for a vacation and an idea struck us. We just told him, this is just a big tub. He used to love taking bath at our tub at home. So an idea struck us. We just told him, this is a huge tub. Just jump in and he jumped in. Very surprising for us. Now when I hear of this power of tiny things like 1% improvements and all that, it reminds me of that incident that make the change look small going through any transformation, make it look like those series of tiny things and small improvements. And this is one takeaway I'm going to take from this conference. To break down any change, any transformation into those series of tiny things, small improvements towards making people enjoy the change that they are going through. Thank you. My first time met narration 2006 as part of Agile India 2006. And since then I've been frequent into these conferences. So one thing, each one of us put us into that little spot and you have to arrange an event within your organization. How does that feel? What effort it takes? It takes good amount of effort. A lot of us want somebody to do it for us. And now think the amount of massive effort that narration team, every volunteer, every speaker, every reviewer puts in to make this flawless learning experience for us. Can we have a good round of applause for years of work that was the set of people I joined? Next thing that I would like to also share with all of you is that we all come from very different diversified experiences. And in here, one, the space becomes quite bias-free because we meet people who are from different organizations and might be facing similar challenges that we haven't worded for ourselves. When we listen into those perspectives, it gives us different dimension for dealing with those challenges back into workplace. And that makes workplace lighter easier in terms of dealing with, right from the mental space, also the physical engagement when we reflect into these experiences. Not all of us would use every tip of here, yet it does impact the way we act going forward. That's all. All right, anybody else? Hello, everyone. I've been associated with Agile India since 2021 and that was my first virtual conference with Agile India. I was a volunteer. It was such an experience when I felt included. I also saw the lineup of speakers, the various areas that we were talking about, whether it was technology, product, coaching, consulting. So the diversity and the inclusiveness was something that really attracted me. It also encouraged me to think beyond, get the confidence. So in 2022, I decided to send out a proposal and let's see what happens. I got selected and I got to speak as well. And this year, when I think it was December, I was so surprised. I was like, oh, we just had it in November. Now again, it's happening. I said, don't think again. Just book your tickets, buy and come here. And the experience has been fabulous. And what I'm going to take away, I think one of the things I keep hearing and I wanted to learn was how do you get things done when you have bigger problems, when you're working with organizations. And one of my biggest takeaway has been, and multiple speakers have spoken about it, in terms of finding those influencers, doing those experiments. And just go for it. Don't look for the moment. If you find a space, you find those influencers, those small experiments, just go for it. And I think that's going to be one of my biggest experiences or learnings from Agile India 2023. So thank you the entire team. And thank you. Anybody else wants to share? So I know, and I've been connected with Naresh since 2005. I still very vividly remember when he had come to the MBA college called NMIMS in Mumbai. And he was speaking about Agility over there. And that was very new to me. It was, I think, yeah, in 2005. So, and I was really intrigued, like what it is, how it is. Then couple of years later, he conducted one of the sessions at NMIMS. It was a two-day session. And I still remember the first person that I'm a senior person that's there from the industry, Jeff Pate, and he was there during that time. And it just changed everything for me. And since then, I've been almost like barring a couple of them. I've been here with them every year. And every year I come, it just surprises me that the kind of people that come over here, the kind of learnings that's brought by all, the kind of speakers that we have got, it's amazing. And what we all always say, it's not about one time effort that's there. It's about the consistency with which these sessions have been organized. So I want to really thank from the bottom of my heart to Naresh that the level of consistency that he has maintained has been awesome. Thank you so much, Naresh. Thank you. This is all now turning into me talk. It's supposed to be about what you're taking away from the event, all right? I have been here for the first time in person at Agile India. And last year, I got to attend it online. So from the content point of view, I'm not surprised. And that was the motivator, in fact, to book my tickets and come all the way. In fact, I'm more than happy. I delivered more than what I expected in terms of all the talks that I got to attend. And also, all the people I got to connect with. I got to appreciate so much similarity in the industry, so much of the same problems. And also, some of the experiences of how people do it differently, that's something I really want to take away from my conversations. But from the talks, I started appreciating so much more the importance of psychological safety, about how it starts from me, my point of view, my mindset. And that's true in teams with leaders everywhere. So yeah, that's my takeaway. Thank you so much. Just want to acknowledge two people who've done a lot of work. I mean, the speakers probably know Natasha. She's been coordinating. So just wanted to, it was a nerve wrecking experience for her trying to put a physical conference together. But she's done a fantastic job. All the speakers are very thankful and everybody else for making sure everything ran so smoothly. And Mr. John over there, trying to play with this camera. So what's interesting, I don't know many of you know, but John actually did a keynote for us in 2012. And then, you know, he liked it so much that he's now part of the team. But he flew all the way from New Zealand. He said, there's no way I'm going to miss this. I want to be in person. And so thanks again John for everything. Like all the videos, the marketing, it's all John with his experience trying to do the best to spread the word. All right, with that I think we will bring this to a closure. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you all next year.
