From a teacher's son to the CEO of one of India's leading engineering and construction companies.
Success stories often look straightforward from the outside. But behind every achievement lies years of perseverance, discipline, difficult decisions, and unwavering values.
In the latest episode of My Money Panda, Ankit Garg sits down with Akhil Kumar Gupta, CEO of Shapoorji Pallonji Engineering & Construction, for a candid conversation on life, leadership, family, fitness, and the principles that shaped his remarkable journey.
Some powerful takeaways from the discussion:
1) The values learned from parents and teachers
2) Why perseverance matters more than talent
3) Leadership lessons from decades of experience
4) Starting a fitness journey later in life and completing marathons
5) The importance of long-term thinking in both life and investing
One quote from the conversation that stayed with us:
"Happiness is not the absence of problems. Happiness is our ability to handle them."
This is more than a conversation about career success it's about building a meaningful life with purpose, resilience, and discipline.
