My headline today ideally should be - Look out for the grand finale of Season 4 for CTC – The Corporate Talent Championship (CTC) – an initiative of Engage4more, started in 2012, is recognized as the world’s largest inter-corporate platform in the performing arts category. You might think this is a press release or a corporate plug in coming on the day of the finale. But coincidentally it’s also the birthday of the Founder and Director of Engage4more – Nishant Parashar, India’s first and only integrated Staff engagement and employer branding solutions provider. My tribute today is to the birthday boy, whose journey has been exceptional and such a motivation, so naturally he will feature in my 100 days.
Our journey of madness began at Symbiosis, when being lanky seemed fit. While we were all there to achieve greater accolades, being playful and soaking in college was never amiss. Away from our homes, we knew we had each other to lean on. We listened with dedication but questioned for a better foundation. We chose careers with passion or sometimes just remarkable positions. Looking back, while I was obsessed with PR, he was the only other person unwilling to let go of his joy in events. Fourteen years later, who knew that our journey would be so memorable? He had always envisioned his entrepreneurial charter and pursued his career with all his heart.
His ideas are unique with passion in abundance. He is a visionary with simplicity and humility. He believes in hard work and excels with warmth. He is a leader in strategies and an affectionate team player. He understands struggle and values independence. He is a dedicated father, husband, son, brother and friend. He is part of a large corporate sage, but grounded to the joy of reality. He cares with all his heart and shares just as much. He has his hands full, but always steals a moment to keep his madness alive.
I have seen him evolve as a person and am thrilled with what he has shaped himself to be. He owes his success to his passion and the support of his family. We have had the craziest times, with much laughter, tears and support, and everyday he inspires me in more ways than he can imagine. Dreams come true and I am glad it was his, as no one deserved it more than him. Professionally I am always thrilled to refer and guide, as I am sure that I am speaking about someone whose dedication and reliability is unquestionable.
So on your birthday, here’s wishing you oodles of happiness and blessings always. May you always remain grounded and be the kindest person I know. May you always find your moments of madness and have enough reason to share that laughter. As a young leader, I hope you always pursue ideas that radiate with passion, inspiration and dedication. As a husband, son and father, may you always be the rock that they deserve. Happy Birthday once again and wishing you, Engage4more, CTC all the very best!
