Rotary 3190 District Governor D.G BadriPrasad and Rtn Anupama at Hongkong

With Mr.Sam Pitroda -Advisor to the Prime Minister of India for Innovation and telecommunication
Life suddenly springs such delightful surprises that when one least expects .When I was called on to be a part of the India Japan Global Partnership Summit 2011(IJGPS) in June I had no idea that what an extraordinary challenge and mammoth task it would be. Without second thoughts I hopped into the band wagon at the India Center Foundation office at Jhor Bhag New Delhi. Working out of Delhi itself was a challenge for me having been more accustomed to the natural settings of the Garden City Bangalore. Suddenly here I am now all the time in AC environment while the outside temperature was always extreme.

What an excruciating time it was, multi-tasking, managing multiple Vendors, trouble shooting, Handling APEX Associations and trade bodies , Looking into Sponsorships and the most difficult part a work culture that is alien and mind boggling with super egos of corporate honchos. High profile national govt officials / bureaucrats and political stalwarts.

The ascend in this world slowly placed me so close to my own inner aspirations of Strategic Change Leadership and Change management for the country .It dawned upon me that now the time has come to rise as an eagle and soar the boundariless sky that is beaconing me .

The extra-ordinary energy level of the Founder of ICF Sri Vibhav Kant Upadhyay and his passionate association really pushed me to my own self made boundaries and expanded my horizon in re-viewing my own limits and capabilities. An awesome leader and a visionary that he is ignited the fire within me from the embers of my passion.
Thus handling all the challenges was able to take a delegation of 72 CEOs, 19 Youth Leaders from Rotaractors at the Dist level of 3190 and about 60 Rotarians as well all from South India and Bangalore along with me to the Summit at Tokyo on September 5-7 2011.


The Summit attempted to initiate a new socio-economic frame work with a macro level open architecture model that will devise and deliberate the micro level solutions. It brought together a myriad of Policy makers, Non Government organizations, Academicians, Corporate leaders, Business Apex bodies, spiritual leaders to initiate a fresh thought process in the light of the Fukushima Nuclear disaster and the need to evolve a new leadership platform that will address the complex issues of environmental conservation vis a vis economic and social Change.

The gathering had over 40 sessions , 210 speakers and over 5,300 participants across the world and partner countries like USA, Nepal etc also taking the lead. Among the prominent speakers we had Sri Mukesh Ambani CMD of Reliance industries who is the Mentor to the Summit, Sri Sam Pitroda Advisor to the Prime Minister for Telecommunications and Innovations, CII leadership Hari S Bhartiya and Rajesh V Shah – MD of Mukund Industries , Spiritual leader Sadguru Jaggi Vasudevan of Isha Foundation, Sri Huda CM Haryana, The last 4 prime ministers of Japan and also the current PM of Japan with a multitude of Corporate Global CEOs.

When I returned to India the spark ignited by this association had taken the form of a flaming torch that now I am working towards evolving and imbibing in the implementation of transformational Change that I only envisioned years ago silently into reality. I seem to be possessed with this drive to rise and manifest an energy that will slowly emancipate the universe one day. I may be long gone and not around to witness it but this work that I shall now engage myself in will trigger that Change slowly and subtly. That will extract factors of the past and co-create a new world that will establish the delicate balance with environment as well as contemporary in socio-economic and cultural change based out of self reliance and sustainability.

The work for which perhaps I was sent into this world as heard from the call of my heart.

Mr Vibhav Kant Upadhyay Chairman of ICF, Mr Mukesh Ambani Chairman of Reliance Industries, Mr Sam Pitroda Advisor to PM of India,Mr Yoshihiko Noda - Prime Minister of Japan 

As the Member - Executive Board - India Japan Global Partnership Summit Have now initiated developmental activities in the areas of healthcare for rural folks, building PPP models of infrastructure development and creating a group of Change Champions with transformational leadership. Hoping to create a model of change and knowledge sharing that will be articulated across ASIA.

Recognize a Soul Mate when you meet one

Image
Always went through the spiral of this churn to differentiate and understand as my life went through deep painful change from 2009 and it opened the flood gates to whom I today share my world with as soul mates who came and awakened into consciousness. A journey without a destination in one life time. Soul Mate : Someone who is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you in order for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness. Once the lesson has been learnt, physical separation usually occurs. Life Partner: A companion, a friend, a stable and secure individual who you can lean on, trust and depend on to help you through life. There is a mutual feeling of love and respect and you are both in sync with each others needs and wants.   Everyone wants to meet their Soulmate. In fact, one of the most common questions I receive in my Spiritual and coaching sessions is- “When am I going to meet my Soulma...

Deep Unrest: A crisis emerging in the fringe of the society globally

Image
Well What can I say, this was a researched topic that I had first published in 2009 post 2008 global recession in  NOWPUBLIC.com . A media publication portal which now seems defunct and closed. The red shirt movement in Thailand that started in 2007 was the first sign then gradually that alerted the world on the overheated conditions of the societies across the globe and the pressure that was gradually altering the nature of the communities burdened by the disparity in the income and excessive expenditure. Inflation in essentials was almost a phenomenon across the globe mainly sparked by spiraling fuel prices having an adverse effect on the food market. The red shirt movement primarily was an outcry of public opinion basically trying to voice against the military led Government for focus   the UDD organized counter demonstrations, which would sporadically result in injuries and deaths. After Prime Minister  Abhisit Vejjajiva  took office, the UDD led m...

It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.   -- C.W.Leadbeater So much anticipation was built way back in early 2014 on the need to take the responsibility and bring lots of change and accomplishments that would serve the larger community  The year was very promising with a very dynamic District Governor RI Dist 3190 Rtn Manjunath Shetty who actually managed to create spaces for people to participate actively and under his leadership things became so full of promise and robust.The Installation ceremony of the team for 2014-2015 finally pushed me into the fire on 27.07.2014   Rtn Kishor Jagirdar with District Governor Elect Rtn K P Nagesh -Dist 3190 2014-2015  Set out with a lot of plans for the people of Yelahanka and our adopted village Hegdehalli near Nandi Hills.With Primary agenda being : 1) Health & technology Sector a) Digitization of health...
