Venkat Changavalli’s life and career embody the philosophy that great leaders create more leaders, not followers, leaving a legacy of wisdom and inspiration.
The encouragement of the venerable Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, during my tenure as CEO at EMRI and my subsequent role as a Leadership Mentor, further fueled my purpose. These experiences spurred me to share my knowledge with the budding minds of tomorrow, nurturing the seeds of leadership.
