Hi
 
Sometimes when we look back at what we did, there is euphoria... The sense of bonding achievement results in ourselves dwelling
 
on the moment that was significant ...
 
A feeling of rok sake toh rok lo....
 
We were a great team ... if we work together again we could still make another significant dent in the universe after the one that Steve Jobs and Apple made ...
 
Now with me on a sabbatical cum moonlighting stint ,Lloyd in Liverpool, Sowmya with Ogilvy & Mather, Srrini in Muscat, Samar on her way to Europe, Vasanthi getting married, Dr Ashish Tripathi joining after the Tata Nen awards and leaving a little later to be with Big Synergy and the rest of the team led by Giri is still there at Greycaps...one wonders if we will
come to work together as a team !!!
well if we do or dont , wherever we are , we will rock on :) as we did during even the photoshoot ... we are fun and were and will be but when it comes to business... we did it Shaan (Yup with Grace and Magnitude)  Se:) 
If you are wondering why we could have made a dent in the universe as "The A team " !!!

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:24:00 -0700 Bangalore to Muscat http://shravanshetty.posterous.com/2009/06/bangalore-to-muscat.html http://shravanshetty.posterous.com/2009/06/bangalore-to-muscat.html My first international trip was sometime in April this year on Business
it was neither exciting nor a surprise .
It sort of came to be both a memorable personal and professional trip :)
It was definitely a awakening - a sign of what is to follow : more oppportunities , more hard work
more perseverance
It also made me realise that preparation is good , practise is good but than life can slot you like it did me
for a Business pitch to the vice Chairman of a Media powerhouse in muscat , the CEo , new ventures , the media sales head and his team in front of my Boss and the Tech head dressed in tie when everyone else was informal because i was doing the presentation in a chinese restaurant with a laptop---
Now which B School can prepare you for a venue such as this for presenting a Business idea ?
Only the real world of Business can and a CEO such as mine with a mentor like outlook : even though we had discussed the presentation , we ran it smoothly like a Jugalbandi with him chipping in a few key points brilliantly timed ensuring that the deal was closed with interest being evinced.
what folllowed was a sumptous meal and the Host , the Vice Chairman sharing with us gripping tales of the dune races and expedition of strange people he had taken through the dunes from a chinese women divorcing her husband post the race to a german collecting Camel shit thinking they were rocks in the desert to humoring a american who lost his key in the desert going back miles into the desert searching for it
We stayed at the Radisson met indians and other nationals , visited startbucks and costa coffee, ate at Indian restaurants such as saravana Bhavan , had laban at the shopping malls and....
More details a little later :0

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:36:00 -0700 Well Said Mr JRD Tata http://shravanshetty.posterous.com/2009/06/well-said-mr-jrd-tata.html http://shravanshetty.posterous.com/2009/06/well-said-mr-jrd-tata.html I was travelling last afternoon with my CEO , Giri and Our Director , Mr Nagraj from brigade road to our BTM office after meeting the auditor when Chief recounted a incident from jRD Tata ’s life. thsi was in the context of leaders and the “Clarity OF Thought” that they have apart from atrsong set of values.
This apparently was a meeting where the accountant and the finance team where discussing a move of the company in terms of export or some transaction where under the Indian law , they were trying to convince JRD Tata that they had not done anything wrong. After listening to them , JRD Tata paraphrased the conversation and stumped them by saying - ” I understand that we have not done anything wrong , whats more important to me : Is what we have done right ”
For JRD Tata , the value was not about being in the Grey area of not being wrong but in being Right under the law of the land - Its as they say you cant be slightly honest or not dishonest — It comes down to
You are HONEST or DISHONEST :) - when i heard the one liner of JRD being recounted : in true reflex action
all i could think was “Oh JRD Uncle , Sahi Bolta Tu”
