1. What have you found most challenging as a leader?

The most challenging for me as a leader is to find the consequences of the decision, if it doesn't go well according to planning.

2. How did you become a leader? Can you please briefly tell the story?

I joined an organisation as a fresher. Time passed quickly and my senior who trained me left the organisation and left my juniors and me behind. From that point, I took the responsibility to lead a team for the smooth functioning of projects and tasks.

3. How do you structure your work days from waking up to going to sleep?

Structuring work days is quite a bit typical task. First I manage the most prioritized tasks and then based on the importance of the task and severity. In between getting some additional tasks, I prioritize. After a tough schedule before going to bed, I track the tasks that are not completed or left

4. What's a recent leadership lesson you've learned for the first time or been reminded of?

The first lesson I learned is leadership is not just guiding a group of people or leading them on the correct path. I learned it is more than these one decision can help in growing and moving the team and organisations correct path and one wrong decision can lead to the downfall of everyone

5. What's one book that has had a profound impact on your leadership so far? Can you please briefly tell the story of how that book impacted your leadership?

Everything about leadership helped me a lot in gaining knowledge and increasing my experience in leadership.

6. If you could only give one piece of advice to a young leader, what would you say to them?

My advice is Leadership is a responsibility it not only lies within the organisation, everywhere it will help to give correct direction to a team of people who believe and trust in you.

7. What is one meaningful story that comes to mind from your time as a leader, so far?

The story of the freedom of India from Mahatma Gandhi reminds me time as a leader.
