MUMBAI: A heartfelt tribute to someone who was not just a boss, but a true mentor, guru, and friend.

Under his guidance, I learned the intricacies of the media world, sharpening my skills and understanding through his profound knowledge and insight. His humility, paired with one-liners full of humor and wisdom, made him a beloved figure to all who had the privilege of working with him.
 

To say I will miss him feels like an understatement—his impact on me was immense.

The pride he took in our successes, as though we were his own, felt much like the pride a father has for his children.

He often said  "if the student doesn’t learn, I will blame the teacher."

Such was his conviction that the success of juniors was the responsibility of senior leaders.

And he truly walked the talk—investing in us, shaping us, and ensuring that we had everything we needed to thrive.

The void he leaves behind can never be filled. I will have to learn to navigate an altered world without his steady presence.

I can only hope that he finds the joy and peace he so richly deserves in heaven. People like him are rare, and it’s a loss that words cannot fully capture.

Thank you, Boss, for everything you taught me, for the lessons you shared, and for being more than just a leader—you were a guiding light in my journey.
