Congratulations, Bryan. Value creation and impact can compound together is the conviction I have built my work around for years, and it has never had a vehicle at this scale. As a three-time founder and CXO operator, I would welcome the chance to help Ballast in any way useful.

@om I followed Om’s writing for over a decade. He had a rare gift for taking you through the tech journey with principle and clarity never just opining, but actually showing you how to look at the world and make sense of it. I’ll miss him for a long time. May he rest in peace.

What do high-performing teams get right long before they win? It's not the usual attributes. Having built and scaled teams from 6,000 to 25,000+ people, across multiple locations and capabilities, I’ve learned this the hard way 👉 Read the post here open.substack.com/pub/arshad…

The return of Values Based Leadership is around the corner. Yes we are in a trough of disillusionment especially with the political theater that leaves us all tired each day and striving for hope. I make the case that the tide will and is turning. substack.com/profile/1500800…

Excellent read on our current state of Culture. I recently stumbled upon Ted Gioia and his blog lnkd.in/gGAYCfN5 Strongly recommend reading this. He writes deep articles on contemporary topics, media especially his annual State of Culture (bit.ly/4itSc5O )

Wrote an article on this. linkedin.com/posts/arshadsay… We are in for binary outcomes, no one knows but I hope the industry sustains itself. Else it could be a huge challenge for Indian IT services players on multiple fronts
