When people refer to me as the "father of Bhavna" or the one who "built it from the ground up," I smile. It’s a compliment, but the truth is, Bhavna wasn’t built in ten years. It’s the result of a lifetime spent adapting to change, learning hard lessons, and staying anchored to one core belief: when the tides shift, you either ride the wave or get swept away.
A Journey Rooted in Change
Like many immigrants, I came to the United States with little more than hope and a deep belief in the power of education. I earned my degrees, but my real education came from working four decades in the tech industry, climbing from engineer to executive and learning to lead in an industry that never stands still.
Bhavna didn’t begin with a grand strategy. It came together over years, shaped by real-world experience, constant reinvention, and the people who shared that journey with me.
The Pillars That Hold Us Up
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that change is not just inevitable, it's necessary. Some changes are gradual; others come like a wave. Bhavna was built to ride those waves, and three key values have kept us steady:
People come first. No amount of technology can replace passion, creativity, and human connection.
Execution is everything. Ideas are only as good as their consistent delivery.
Agility means survival. The faster we adapt, the stronger we lead.
Meeting the AI Moment
Today, we face a massive wave i.e. Artificial Intelligence. We've been through revolutions before from mainframes to cloud, but AI is different. It's changing not just how we work, but how we think. Our challenge now is not just to adopt AI, but to use it to empower people, not replace them.
