‘me’ in any way possible. Now that’s character. And if there is a ‘Unicorn’ of wealth then this is it - the character of people you choose to surround yourself with. All of us together for the past 15 months through our charity @bookasmileindia impacted about 1,000,000 (2/4)

COVID-affected people. These 200 folks were handpicked & curated over years and had surrounded themselves with the highest values of culture, performance and empathy. As the day passed, I had two thoughts, one of managing optics or two - just doing the right thing. (3/4)
