Some lovely feedback to end the week. I appreciated these kind words from a client I enjoyed working with. A nice reminder of why the people side of the job matters just as much as the legal side

I am delighted to share that I have successfully completed the Chief Operations Officer (COO) Programme from IIM Kozhikode. The certificate was awarded in a valedictory ceremony by Dean Executive Education Dr. Sudershan Kuntuluru and Prof Ashutosh Sarkar. This journey has been a truly enriching experience, strengthening my understanding of modern operations leadership. The programme covered key themes such as Finance for Non-Finance Professionals, Financial Statement Analysis, Decision Making in VUCA World, Supply Chain Design and Management, Service Operations - Fundamentals and Management, Strategy Implementation, International Logistics, Project Management, Quality Philosophy and Business excellence, Macro Economics, Conflict Management, Risk Resilience etc My sincere gratitude to Prof. Ashutosh Sarkar and Prof. Arqum Mateen for their guidance, insights, and impactful teaching throughout the programme. There efforts have kindled in me a powerful new lens to view businesses with a different perspective. I also thank Prof. Rachappa Shette, Prof. Soumya Roy, Prof. Aravind Sampath, Prof. G Anand, Prof. Nycil George, Ms. Parul Arora, Prof. Deepankar Sinha, Prof. Rupesh Kumar Pati, Prof. Vikas Sunkad, Mr. Mukesh Jain, Prof. Mamta Jenamani and Prof. Rudra Sensarma.

I’m excited to apply these learnings in my professional journey and continue building value through stronger operational and leadership capabilities.

Someone wise once told me: “Sports doesn’t wait for your plan. It writes its own script.” I didn’t fully get it then. Coming back to sports after years - I do now. … and honestly, it feels like I never left - just that the game got faster. There’s something wildly addictive about Sports PR/ Comms No amount of planning prepares you for what happens once the whistle blows. You can have the cleanest narrative, the tightest messaging, the most aligned stakeholders… …and then a last-minute goal, a surprise loss, or one unexpected quote changes everything. And suddenly, you’re not just communicating. You’re reacting, recalibrating, rewriting in real time. What I’d forgotten (and quickly relearned): → In sports, timing isn’t important. It’s everything. → Momentum is a better storyteller than any press release. → Fans can see through fluff in seconds , authenticity isn’t optional. → And the best PR moments? You can’t manufacture them, you have to be ready for them. Also - it humbles you. Quickly. Just when you think you’ve got it right, the game reminds you who’s in charge. But that’s the thrill. Getting back into the “game” has been equal parts chaos, nostalgia, and adrenaline. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. #SportsPR #BackInTheGame #Communications #SportsIndustry
