CEO'S OUTLOOK

Hard work is hard.
Eating food is easy; burning it off is hard.
Building something up takes time; breaking it down is an easy job.

Working hard is something that I will swear by. Working hard will get you places. Working hard and smart is
the thing that gets you noticed. Working hard, smart and with a vision gets you to be a leader.

Any company grows when there is a clear vision planned out well for the years to come. Act on their vision,
fine-tune it to adapt to their present and future technologies and create a newer and better vision for
tomorrow.

We also need to evolve to change our mindset to be responsible for our growth. As the proverb goes, ‘A
rolling stone gathers no moss.’, you need to keep yourself updated and relevant in the context.

Ensure you are the best at what you do because any company needs the best talent to ensure that the
visions are met. Think a few years ahead.

As it is said, working hard also needs to be accompanied by adequate rest, else this will lead to burnout.
Burnout will extinguish your passion for future work. Ensure you take breaks during work and maintain a
good work-life balance.

The pandemic is bringing us to our knees viz a viz travel. WIth movements restricted or curtailed, getting on
a plane is now a dream for many. This is the time when a 5-hour journey is extrapolated into a 3-week trip
spanning 4 countries (including the origin and destination country)

Stay Safe!
