How has your life experience made you the leader you are today?
My education has brought me across the UK and the US while I have worked across industries in India, US and now Malaysia. This has given me vast exposure to different cultures and acted as a catalyst for me to adapt to new environments and people.
By nature, I am inquisitive and like venturing into the unknown which has helped me well in facing different business challenges. But the one adage I abide by is that the taller a tree grows, the more it bends. Similarly in life, the higher you go, the humbler you should be – that makes you a good leader.

Throughout his childhood, he was severely bullied, and even hospitalised following one incident when a group of boys threw him down a flight of stairs. It s pretty rough in South Africa, Musk s brother, Kimbal, told Kids gave Elon a very hard time, and it had a huge impact on his life. In South Africa, if you re getting bullied, you still have to go to school. You just have to get up in the morning and go. He hated it so much.
But while school was challenging, Musk found an escape in the form of computers as well as his growing desire to move to the United States, which he saw as the land of endless opportunity.

Who is Elon Musk?
Seriously!
Fine. He’s the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, the founder of The Boring Company and Neuralink, a certified member of the PayPal Mafia, and a well-known internet troll.
He sounds rich.
He is. Depending on where the market closes on Friday, he’s either the first or the second richest person in the world. The other contender is Jeff Bezos. A substantial part of both men’s net worth is tied up in their company stock.
Okay. What is

The first quarter of the year is almost over, have you achieved your reading goals? How many books have you read so far?
As an executive who works from home and with two young children, I felt that having a target was setting up myself for failure. So at the beginning of the year, I set to read more than I did last year. So far, I have read seven books.
‘Brands on a Mission’ by Dr Myriam Sidibe is on how brands can achieve social impact and business growth. Every marketer should read this and listen to her TedTalk, ‘The Simple Power of Handwashing.’ ‘My First Time’ by Janet Mbugua is another book that I have read this quarter. As a woman and a mother of girls, this one hit close to home.
