8. My 6 mentors
A very innovative, out of box thinker. He always
questions the present and spends most of his
time in creating cadre of people who feel
empowered to take on challenges across the
globe. He is extremely critical , articulate
, demanding and most importantly has
tremendous passion for healthcare !
DR ROXY PESTELLO
He is a people’s person. A legend and someone who is so fantastic at
resolving conflicts.
He takes complete accountability for his team. I still remember the day
when it rained like crazy at midnight and when the entire city of
Chikamagalur was dark , he walks out with his umbrella and torch and
walks into each an every employees’ home to enquire if the roof was
not damaged and that they were safe !
RATAN JALAN
Founder , Medium Healthcare
Consulting
KABIR MUSTAFI
An extremely articulate teacher who loves
teaching so much that, she almost ends up
spending the whole day with students. Her
ability to think of solutions from a very humane
and inclusive perspective has won many hearts
across the globe.
DR RAMILA BISHT
His very presence inspires everyone around. He is a magnet and there’s
only “ONE” person in this entire universe who has the audacity to speak up
to the likes of Prime Minister – when he feels that the PM is not doing it right !
He takes his team all by his side and gets everyone to follow a single goal.
He is persuasive and more than all a phenomenal human being with a very
sweet heart.
Co-incidentally, Ananya happens to be my
wife.Shes forthright, extremely passionate about
her profession and always finds an interesting
solution to the problems that I face in real world.
ANANYA
SUNDAR
KUMUDHA ABHYANKAR
She is an inspiring orator . She taught
Kannada and she’s very special to
those who usually are “given up” as
not so good students. She taught us
“Life and Kindness”.
