POWER TALK

EDITORIAL
Hello !
Today POWER TALK is two editions old. It
feels amazing and emotional to make it till
here with a clear vison, to live up to our
own expectations as we unveil this today. I
am in deep gratitude for all the readers and
the followers of Power Talk for their
contribution in amplifying the reach of our
e-magazine. Not to forget the immense
contribution of all our dear authors who
have supported us all along with their
lovely articles in this edition and the
previous one and this has indeed fueled our
aspirations to take POWER TALK to the next
level.
The wide spread reach of the first magazine
did make things a lot easier for this edition
to come together. This edition did bring in
a fun element with it while we are trying the
stitch things together. I am sure all of you
would like to know. 5 out of 6 six of us
wrote RISK as one of the top 3 topics we all
wanted to cover in this magazine. Finally
the topics we zeroed down on had
something for everyone to relish and enjoy,
a lot more than just a feeler on the topic in
focus, giving readers a very clear sketch
note on the crux of the topic.
It was a dream come true to have Thomas
Varghese and Ravi Krishnamurthy to be a
part of this magazine. This is not not even
a millionth of what I learnt interacting with
these stalwarts of the industry. Amazing
camaraderie that leaves one spell bound. 3
decades of leadership and still going strong
with the same passion or may be even
more. We still have leaders who sleep with
their shoes and thinking caps on.
Manish K Tyagi, a retired commander of
the Indian naval base doesn’t seems to
have retired really. It’s amazing to hear the
‘josh’ (passion) in his voice and force in his
words as he pens down instances from his
life for all of us to not only enjoy but also
understand the art of creating opportunities
and open locked doors of faith, courage
and strength we all are born with. Simply
take that step!
Life, business skills managing all is as much a science as it’s
an art. Krishnarao Buddha will take you through the
importance of product management and how it can risk
your business reputation if not taken seriously. Gopal Iyer
talks everything you need to know about GIG economy. He
will defog all notions you have regarding this forever
present so-called GIG economy that recently gained
momentum, thanks to COVID. One among many things
that got attention during this pandemic.
My international author and very dear friend Lorena
Acosta will take you through the art of creating a personal
brand that’s just as unique as you are and roar at world
with pride, humility and passion. Elizabeth Franklin, a
true angel writes about positive aura, positive thoughts
and a newer you. A must read article to bring in lot of
energy and good vibes around you
Not to be missed the article by the lady on the cover,
Reshma Ramachandran, as she spills the beans about
digital transformation and how life is going to be with
digitalization in the driving seat. Enjoy!
Rakesh Meher talks about Artificial Intelligence giving a
glimpse of something humongous that may really
transform things beyond we can imagine
Finally, the risk factor that started whole discussion. A juicy
nugget by Jitender Arora on the evolving risk landscape. A
well written article that fills all the empty pockets with
suffice information on all the why’s, what’s and how’s.
Abhijit Sanzgiri too shares his perspective on how the
corporates and the employees will find themselves trapped
in as digitalization over clouds everything.
Women-in-tech a global movement close to my heart
More power to you, Nasscom Foundation and Trust with
trade
As I wrap this up, my best wishes to you. Follow us, love us,

to me. I am just a call away. We will pop in again with the
