As I start this journey, will try to keep in mind the four takeaways from our first alumni meet with Ankur Warikoo:<\/p>\n

* This upcoming year is an opportunity engine for a lifetime, so to be present in every moment<\/p>\n

* Quality over quantity for unselfish networking<\/p>\n

* Practical ways to navigate our own mind traps<\/p>\n

* Keeping an attitude of being open and exploring as much as possible<\/p>\n

I\u2019m grateful to my family, friends and well-wishers for their constant support in the journey to reaching here.Super excited to be a part of and learn from such a diverse and talented cohort. Looking forward to sharing my learnings with all of you on this platform!<\/p>\n
