felt great to be part of such an energetic cybersecurity conference. My honest feelings: BSides Kerala 🧠 So many enthusiastic & knowledgeful youngsters Honestly, I was blown away. The young crowd — students, early-career pros — weren't just there for certificates. They asked sharp questions, shared smart insights, and actually knew their stuff. Kerala's future in cybersecurity looks seriously promising. 🤝 Great networking opportunities Met people from all walks — hackers, founders, students, educators. Everyone was open, approachable, and happy to share contacts. No ego, no gatekeeping. Just good conversations. 🎙️ Excellent panel discussions Panels were top-tier. Real issues. Real debates. No boring corporate speak. Walked out feeling genuinely smarter. Glad I made time for this. #BSidesKerala #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #Networking #YoungTalent #Kerala F9 INFOTECH Zscaler Fortinet Palo Alto Networks KPMG BSides Kerala Netskope ManageEngine #ITLeadersCommunity

If you work in Procurement in 2026, you already know this: Negotiating price / optimizing TCO — is now only a small fraction of the job. Today, procurement is about: • securing critical resources in an increasingly volatile world • bringing the right market insights to the right stakeholders at the right time • understanding increasingly complex regulations and compliance requirements • staying deeply connected to both internal and external partners • making fast, informed trade-offs with incomplete information • building long-term trust across the value chain Negotiation skills still matter. But real procurement expertise now lies elsewhere: Understanding markets, products, regulation & people. Connecting signals. Anticipating disruptions. Taking decisions quickly. Aligning business, supply security and strategy. That’s what makes Procurement one of the most challenging, complete — and future-proof — functions today.

10,000 reasons to say thank you! I hit a number today that feels a bit surreal: 10,000 followers in LinkedIn. When I started sharing my journey on LinkedIn, I didn’t have a "grand plan." I just wanted to document what I was learning, meet interesting people, and hopefully add a little value to the LinkedIn users around us. While the metric is exciting, the real value isn’t in the number — it is in the conversations. Over the past 15 plus years, I have had the privilege of: Connecting with industry pioneers. Learning from your diverse perspectives. Sharing insights that have sparked meaningful debates.. Thank you wonderful colleagues of MANE Mane Kancor (where I work at present), all the previous organizations ( Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) , Johnson & Johnson , SPAN , Metadata Technologies , etc.), the communities in which I am actively involved such as IT Leaders Community and Toastmasters International and my dear friends and family. Here is to continuing the journey of learning, growing, and inspiring one another. #Gratitude #Milestone #10KFollowers #LinkedInCommunity #ITLC #Division Division D - D121 Toastmasters International #SangeethKM #Sangeeth

Why Your Commute Choice Matters Every year on April 17, cities across 100+ countries come together for World Public Transport Day—a global celebration of buses, metros, trams, and trains that keep our communities moving. It’s one day, millions of journeys, and one message: we love public transport, it moves us all. The rise in traffic chaos on our roads is not only due to a sudden increase in population. A major factor is the shift of citizens from public transport to private vehicles. In Kerala alone, I was surprised and saddened to learn that our bus fleet has more than halved in two decades—25,000 buses in 2000 dropped to 12,500 in 2023. In Kochi, many people have recently started traveling by Metro, which is a positive sign. We need to change our mindset about giving up the comfort of driving a car for single-person travel. Let’s pledge to promote public transport and adopt carpooling wherever public transport options are not feasible or available. #WorldPublicTransportDay #PublicTransport #SustainableMobility #UrbanMobility #InvestInPublicTransport

The results are out! MANE just surpassed €2 billion in sales for 2025 🚀 I'm proud to be part of a group that keeps pushing boundaries in the fragrance and flavour industry. In a year full of challenges, this milestone says a lot about who we are: a company that knows how to evolve, adapt and transform while staying true to its creative DNA. Congratulations to all the teams who made this possible! #ProudToBeMANE #DigitalTransformation #TeamSpirit #MANEGroup

Most people are still measuring influence in views, likes and engagement. I did too. Until I started paying closer attention to what was actually driving sales. Because in a professional industry like ours, attention doesn’t convert on its own. Behaviour does. What a hairdresser chooses to use… what they trust… what they recommend behind the chair… That’s what moves revenue. Over the past few years, I’ve been building something very specific. A private community of around 65,000 hairdressers globally, with roughly 47,000 engaging on a daily basis. But the scale isn’t the interesting part. What matters is how it operates. It’s a peer-to-peer environment, built around real, daily use of professional products where conversations aren’t theoretical, they’re grounded in what’s actually happening behind their chair. Formulas are shared. Problems are solved. Recommendations are made. In real time. Every day And when you start to look at it through that lens, the numbers take on a very different meaning. You’re no longer looking at “reach”. You’re looking at a network of professionals making thousands of decisions every single day, each one connected to real commercial outcomes. Model that even conservatively, and you start to see it clearly: Small shifts inside a trusted network like this don’t move engagement. They move tens of millions in revenue Every day That was a big shift for me. Because it changed how I see everything. From content… to conversation. From visibility… to trust. From marketing… to behaviour. I think we’ve massively underestimated this as an industry. Not the power of platforms no It’s actually The power of professionals influencing each other, at the point where decisions are actually made immediately Because in the end, it’s not what gets seen that matters. It’s what gets used. 💯 And more importantly It’s actually the professional who decides that. 🪑 Wella Company
