    Why I Left the Big Four: Richard Rekhy's Career Secrets

    Beyond Titles Podcast – Episode 9 Meet Richard Rekhy, a man who carved his own path from an unexpected start in chartered accountancy to becoming the CEO of KPMG India. In a candid chat with  @Suraj_Nangia , Richard opens up about his journey , how he helped build the Delhi office at RSM & Co, dealt with the strict culture at Arthur Andersen, and turned challenges at KPMG into opportunities for growth. He talks about the proud moments of becoming CEO, the tough phase during the 2016 internal rifts and team exits, and the personal crossroads he faced when he decided to step down in 2017. Richard also shares the reality behind leadership, the pressure, the loneliness, and how to stay grounded when everyone’s watching. Along the way, he drops some honest, practical advice for young, chartered accountants and professionals trying to make their mark. Making the choice to quit a job is never easy. I am sharing my personal experience with leaving my role and clearing up a misunderstanding. When I decided on my final morning in the office that I was moving on, I had to reflect on my team. Specifically, I had named a colleague as my professional successor, but there was tension between us. He felt I was ignoring him during that transition period, which was a misconception I want to address directly on camera. This story highlights the complexities of workplace relationships during a career transition. Often, what we perceive as neglect from a leader might actually be the result of misaligned expectations or private pressures. I hope this reflection provides clarity on how these dynamics play out behind the scenes.

    From Polio Survivor to Padma Shri: Dr. Niru Kumar's Unstoppable Journey

    Diversity & Inclusion Explained -    • A 1971 War Tank at a Martyr’s Memorial? #I...   “They told her to ‘just live.’ She chose to redefine what living meant.” From a 3-year-old polio survivor to a Padma Shri awardee shaping global conversations on inclusion — this is not just a story, it’s a movement. If you think Diversity & Inclusion is just a corporate buzzword, this conversation will change your perspective forever. We sit down with Dr. Niru Kumar — Padma Shri awardee, medical doctor, psychologist, and one of India’s most influential voices in Diversity & Inclusion (DEI). This is not just a podcast about success. It’s a conversation about resilience, leadership, and redefining systems that were never designed to include everyone. Diagnosed with polio at the age of three, Dr. Niru Kumar grew up in a world that often limited expectations for people with disabilities. But instead of accepting those limitations, she turned her lived experiences into a powerful mission — to build inclusive cultures across organizations, institutions, and society at large. Over the years, she has worked with leading global organizations such as Google, Unilever, Microsoft, and the World Health Organization, helping leaders create environments where people feel valued, respected, and empowered. One of the most powerful parts of this episode is her 12-year transformation journey with PepsiCo India — where her work led to measurable impact, including: 3X increase in women at senior leadership levels 7X increase in women franchise representation A model that scaled across multiple countries globally But her impact goes far beyond corporates. As a National Icon for the Election Commission of India, Dr. Niru Kumar played a key role in making Indian democracy more inclusive — from enabling postal ballots for senior citizens and persons with disabilities to sensitizing polling officials on transgender inclusion. In this episode, she also shares her powerful philosophy: “Stop challenging the status quo. Redefine it.” This one idea alone has the power to transform how leaders, founders, and individuals approach change. Key Takeaways from This Episode Resilience is a mindset, not a circumstance Your limitations don’t define you — your response to them does. Equity ≠ Equality True inclusion requires understanding individual needs, not treating everyone the same. Inclusion is a leadership responsibility It cannot be delegated to HR — it must be driven from the top. Language shapes culture The way we speak, label, and engage determines how inclusive our environments truly are. Real change is systemic, not symbolic Policies alone don’t create inclusion — behaviors and mindsets do. Psychological safety is the foundation of high-performance teams When people feel safe, they contribute more authentically and effectively. Inclusion goes beyond workplaces It impacts democracy, governance, and society at large.

    How One Man Transformed India's Broken Passport System | Dr. Dnyaneshwar Mulay

    India's Passport System was Broken - This is how he fixed it - Watch Beyond Titles Podcast Playlist here:    • Why 90% of Investors Lose Money | Markets,...   In this Beyond Titles episode, I interview Dr. Dnyaneshwar Mulay who shares his journey of modernizing India’s passport services, leading global crisis responses, and championing digital innovation. Discover inspiring leadership insights and real stories from his impactful career. This episode goes far beyond policy and paperwork. It is a rare, inside look at how broken systems are fixed, how risk is taken inside government, and how leadership shows up when the stakes are highest. What This Podcast Is About For decades, getting a passport in India meant delays, middlemen, uncertainty, and corruption. Under Dnyaneshwar Mulay’s leadership, that changed dramatically. Passport offices expanded from 77 to over 500+ across the country. Post offices were transformed into Passport Seva Kendras. Delivery timelines dropped from months to days. Human discretion — where corruption thrives — was systematically removed. This offers a glimpse into how that transformation actually happened. ️ What You’ll Hear in the Full Episode • How Dnyaneshwar Mulay became responsible for reforming India’s passport system • Why he chose a high-risk BOOT (Build–Operate–Own–Transfer) model with TCS • How digitisation was used as a deliberate anti-corruption strategy • What it takes to scale a reform that affects millions of citizens • Why promising passports in record time was a career-defining risk High-Stakes Diplomacy & Crisis Leadership The episode also takes you deep inside India’s diplomatic frontlines. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of: • The 2013 Maldives political crisis, when President Mohamed Nasheed took refuge in the Indian High Commission • The intense pressure of an 11-day diplomatic standoff watched by the world • Coordinating the evacuation of approximately 90,000 Indians from war zones and disaster-hit regions • Moments where decisions had to be taken carrying the weight of 1.4 billion Indians These are stories rarely told — calmly, clearly, and without drama. ️ The Human Side Behind the System Beyond diplomacy and governance, this conversation reveals the inner world of the man himself. • Why he wrote 15+ books while serving in high-pressure roles • How poetry helped him stay grounded during crises • Why he launched the Movement of Positivity immediately after retirement • What leadership means when titles fade away This is not a political interview. It is a leadership conversation rooted in integrity, courage, and clarity. Why You Should Watch If you care about: • Indian governance and reform • Leadership under pressure • Anti-corruption systems • Public service transformation • Diplomacy and crisis management • Meaningful leadership stories This episode is essential viewing. 00:00 - 00:27 Intro 00:28 - 04:09 Dr. Mulay: The “Passport Man of India” 04:10 - 10:48 Transforming India’s Passport Ecosystem 10:49 - 12:34 Integration with Post Office and Overcoming Challenges 12:35 - 18:24 Journey into the Passport Mission 18:25 - 19:57 Was It Too Big a Challenge to Take On? 19:58 - 21:44 The BOT Model with TCS 21:45 - 24:06 Digitalization: Streamlining Passports & Enhancing Transparency 24:07 - 25:17 Passport Delays Before Digitalization 33:08 - 36:39 The Most Challenging Country He Worked In 40:53 - 41:56 Real Stories from Evacuation Missions 41:57 - 45:56 Dr. Mulay as an Author: Books & Insights 45:57 - 51:25 Starting the "Movement of Positivity" 51:26 - 52:43 Things Dr. Mulay is Proud Of 52:44 - 54:51 Improving Public Service Systems 54:52 - 56:57 Economic Challenges and Future Outlook 59:47 - 1:03:39 Rapid-fire with Dr. Mulay 01:03:40 - 1:03:52 Outro Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more inspiring conversations on Beyond Titles. #DrMulay #beyondtitles #SurajNangia #IndianPassport #EvacuationMissions #movementofpositivity ‪@Suraj_Nangia‬ #PassportManOfIndia #DnyaneshwarMulay #IndianGovernance #PassportReform #IndianDiplomacy #PublicServiceLeadership #BeyondTitlesPodcast #GovernmentReforms #AntiCorruption #LeadershipStories #indianbureaucracy Most Indians think about a passport only when they urgently need one.
