Captivate the Future – Kamal and Kailash Sarma
The world has changed, so what? Get over it and in front of it.
Change is constant and accelerating, that is our new normal. So how can we thrive in an uncertain world where everything can alter with a click of a button or a transformation in business models?
We are seeing fundamental shifts in the way we engage with education, our economy and our ecology. It requires us to adopt a different mindset, acquire new tools and master new skill sets
In this keynote father and son duo Kamal and Kailash Sarma will cover:
- How to go beyond the idea of a fixed vs growth mindset by developing an evolutionary mindset that anticipate shifts.
- How to harness and blend the wisdom of the old with the energy of new
- How we are shifting from the ownership model to the borrowing model and what that means for business, consumers and economies
It would be rare to find someone who can combine these two perspectives. It requires two different dynamics, working parallel. This is something Kamal and Kailash can provide.
- It is difficult to have the wisdom of experience with the energy of youth.
- It is hard to combine the power of large corporate with the nimbleness of an entrepreneur.
- It is a challenge to combine the want for stability with the need to evolve
Can you harness the opposing yet complementary skill sets to navigate the future? By bringing the two worlds together in this keynote, Kamal and Kailash Sarma will show you why you need to Captivate the Future and how to do it.
