There’s something deeply energising about being in a room full of curious, ambitious young minds. Every time I’m invited to speak at a college or school, it feels less like a speech and more like a conversation with the next wave of changemakers. ✨
I had the honour of inaugurating Pinnacle 2025, the annual national-level management fest hosted by St. Joseph’s Institute of Management, themed “Creatures of Conquest".
I was invited to speak about reinventing ourselves — a journey I’ve lived through, and continue to live every day.
What made the experience truly special was reconnecting with my mentor, Dr. Rajiv Noronha Rajiv Noronha Dean & Professor at St Joseph’s Institute of Management, Bangalore; whose wisdom and presence continue to shape how I navigate both business and life. I’m deeply grateful to him for this opportunity and trust. 🙏
As I stood there, it wasn’t about sharing success stories — it was about sharing the story behind the success.
The quiet pauses. The pivots. The decisions no one claps for.
♟️ From being a national-level chess player to corporate HR roles…
🇩🇪 From a life-altering break that took me to Germany…
🌿 To building LIFE PURIFIED from my kitchen table — with Ayurvedic herbs in hand and a calling in my heart…
Every chapter of my journey has been a lesson in reinvention — not for applause, but for alignment.
Because the truth is — we are all creatures of conquest.
We are wired to evolve, to rise, to grow through what we go through.
🌀 Reinvention isn’t about changing who you are.
🔍 It’s about shedding who you’re not.
🌱 It’s about choosing clarity over comfort, purpose over predictability.
At LIFE PURIFIED, we blend Ayurveda with science to create products that are effective, safe, and soulful. But behind every product is a deeper philosophy — one that reflects who we are becoming, not just what we are building.
I shared these thoughts with the students — but I left the room deeply moved by their energy, their curiosity, and their questions. 💫
To anyone reading this who is in the middle of change:
✨ You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just begin.
✨ Reinvention isn’t a destination. It’s a decision.
✨ You don’t conquer by staying the same.
✨ You conquer by becoming who you were always meant to be.
