"I want to donate 50% of my wealth"

What is that one thing
that you would like to change in yourself?

I want to change my
outlook towards business. I want to shift my thought process from
'What my organization wants' to 'What customers, employees and
stakeholders want'. This will enable us to grow naturally with
customers, employees and stakeholders.

If you were reborn, you
would like to be born as?

I would be happy if I was
reborn as what I am, 'Myself'.

memorable event of your life?

The learning experience
that I had with Landmark Education. It has helped me to introspect
the purpose of my life.

Most embarrassing

more than 10 people.

yourself five years down the line?
