Thank you!

Hello all,

After 5 years of an extremely satisfying roller coaster ride, I have decided to move on from Akamai. The last 5 years have been high-voltage action with everyday throwing up a new challenge and where dizzy heights were compensated by a failure once in a while because we always set ourselves BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals).

I've had the privilege of working with and learning from some of the smartest folks in the industry whether it be my managers, colleagues and peers. And that's what makes Akamai a special place because of the great minds at work. 

I also want to Thank all my customers and partners without whom the journey wouldn't have been this fulfilling. Not only have you given me your precious time and a platform to interact but I have learnt much about the various industries, business models, facets of the business etc. I am humbled and honoured to be a consultant to so many Big and upcoming companies shaping our today and the future not just in India but globally. 

A colleague recently reminded me of Robert Baden-Powell's words- 'Leave this world a little better than you found it.' That's the best compliment one could receive. 

With that thought, Thank you all for being a critical part of this journey and hopefully our paths cross soon again. I have decided to take a break and travel and explore what we miss out while chasing our professional goals. I will be back soon though and am reachable at [email protected].

Until we meet next, Faster Forward!

Regards
