Good evening, Ramya, and thank you very much for inviting me to the Swell podcast. I am delighted to participate with you in this conversation. Coming to the question you asked about what did I learn in the process of writing the book? I think one of the key things I learned was an ordinary person with an attitude, with a very positive attitude, could become an extraordinary person
Thank you so much for sharing that, sir. So, building a successful business takes more than a killer idea. It requires effective management and financial attentiveness, among many others. In your case, would you say that the depth of experience that you had heading operations and sales and managerial roles helped you to be more resilient to the setbacks and uncertainties that you faced during the initial years of infotain?

That was the last experience I had in OMC computers. So my experiences of the past came a long way in making sure that in the uncertain and an uncertain environment. I had resilient strategies
So the book's second part looks at these softer cultural aspects that set apart a successful, sustainable company, customer centricity process orientation and people development. The best startup cultures of today are noted for how they place people, their employees and their customers. First, could you tell us a little bit about how you managed to define the ethos of your company to create a strong, positive work culture and manage to maintain as the organization grew over the years?

We moved a delivery manager to head RHR, so he knows what exactly the empathy of the people are. So a constant rotation of people, constant sharing of wealth, making sure that you certainly practice the values that you always propagated, is the one which ensures that you build a positive work culture and you maintain that organization
Looking back, was there a particularly bad business situation or a crisis that you found yourself in, which you later realized was a positive? Also, sir, could you possibly share some life lessons from your inspired journey that you feel would empower young and upcoming entrepreneurs?

And what is the purpose of a life that we are here for? The second one is that I have said that if you have a clear vision for excellence, you can be the best in anything that you choose to be in. I choose to be an entrepreneur. You can choose to be a scientist, you can be a pilot, you can definitely become a politician or a social worker or a podcaster, you can be any of those
Thank you so much, Mr. Reddy, for coming onto cell and sharing your wisdom and perspective. I am the co founder here, and I'm also a fellow Ayat Khan Puralam, so it was truly humbling and inspirational for me to hear from you. Thank you, sir. And I hope to hear from you again as well

His name is An Srimantvari. And he's a quality professional. Ali the doubts I have about this book, I think I'm going to pester him so much. Helped me figure this out, and he will use these very gracious with specific doubts. So I think I know what I'm doing this weekend. Thank you so much to all the people involved in making this happen. Yay
