I would say my friends and family have been my most meaningful mentors, because they knew my strengths always, and they always guided me to use these strengths in a professional setting. They always gave me direction where they felt like, based on their experiences, where I would be able to contribute the most. So my career path actually has been evolved, I would primarily say because of my friends and family's guidance. Other than that, yes, professionally, I have always had good support of my leaders in making sure my strengths are getting used to the best of capabilities in professional settings. So, for me, my higher-ups also have been good mentors and guiders.

Take technology to your benefit, learn as much as you can, because now learning is very easily accessible, but at the same time, have a vision, a path, like how any learning you're doing is helping you build a stack on top of another, a funnel, which helps you grow in a very meaningful way. So do not randomize your learning. Have a structured learning, is what I would say.

I think there is enormous competition these days, so being able to distinguish yourselves, being able to find a purpose in what you're doing is something that is becoming even more challenging. Especially with technology, and also making use of technology in a way that it advances you, supports you, and also helps grow more careers, like more jobs versus diminishing them. That is a new challenge that everyone is right now trying to address, and I would say it's not related to any job band, it's across the board for everyone. We are in a time where, with evolving AI, use of AI, we are still trying to stabilize, like where the AI can be best used, and where we will be able to continue to make very, really meaningful contributions outside of AI, where our skills are the most relevant. So that is a challenge, a phase we are in, and everyone is trying to sort that out.

I want to continue to drive and make impact at a major scale, such that with the new evolving technologies, they are used meaningfully for everyone, not just one specific type of customer base. The reach of these products can be, and making the best use of the evolving technology such that it impacts the lives, be it for professionals, or be it for even non-professionals, so everyone. That is my major career goal. For me, the most important is my personal brand, and the reason I want to grow in my career, I really want to be - I see it as a mission that my children, I have 3 kids, some of them are in a position where they're contributing really meaningfully to the community. I want them to see me as one of their, someone they get really influenced with, and someone that motivates them. So that is why I want to have a very strong personal brand of mine.
