Leading Without a Title: A Ladakh Story of Collaboration and Growth
LinkedIn
June 17, 2025
Last week, I set off on a motorbike journey across the majestic terrains of Leh-Ladakh. What was supposed to be a leisure trip with 7 friends—2 Indians and 5 foreigners, 3 countries—turned into an incredible hands-on experience in project management, leadership, and human behavior.

I didn’t have a formal role, no authority, no title. But I became the one everyone looked to—for answers, decisions, and coordination.

Looking back, I realize: I lived the complete project life cycle on this trip—from initiation to closure—without calling it one.

LinkedIn
June 10, 2025

In this article, I want to share a simple but powerful framework I’ve developed based on personal experience and countless observations from the field: The 5 Levels of Project Manager Maturity.

Not Every Fire Needs a Fight: Building Emotional Strength as a PM
LinkedIn
May 06, 2025
In project management, you're trained to fight fires. But no one tells you what to do when the fire is emotional—when it's you burning silently from a harsh word, a public scolding, or a project gone sideways.

"You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you, that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass."

The Unsung Warrior: A Project Manager’s Inner Voice
LinkedIn
April 08, 2025
It's not my daughter's wedding, but it sure feels like I'm planning one every single day.
The life of a Project Manager is a paradox. You carry immense responsibility but often lack the authority. You celebrate team wins quietly, bear failures loudly, and constantly balance between stakeholders who want results and teams who need breathing space. Project Management isn't just about timelines, tools, and templates. It's about heart. It's about leading from the middle, giving your best, and staying grounded.

A Project Manager is not the hero of the story—but the one who ensures the story gets told, beautifully and on time.
