Leadership Workshops have been conducted all over the World for Executives of all levels and we, in the corporate world know by now the styles of leadership as Democratic, Authoritarian, Delegative, Transactional and Transformational. While these form the basis of a good leadership, but we must realise what makes Ratan Tata stand out from the rest? Let me explain!

I, Pria Warrick, a Clinical Psychologist and a Soft Skills Celebrity trainer, recently, while conducting a workshop at the Indian Naval Academy in Kunnur, Kerala, was struck by a documentary depicting the heroic actions during the Pulwama terrorist attack. The footage captured a Major heroically running into flames to save lives, showing unwavering courage as he comforted injured soldiers and coordinated their rescue. He earned a Medal of Honour for his bravery, but it sparked a profound question in my mind: what drives someone to risk their life for others?

In the military, we honour self-sacrifice with medals. In contrast, the corporate world often rewards those who prioritize personal gain over team welfare with bonuses. So, does this mean military personnel are inherently better humans? Not necessarily! It’s all about the environment. Today, if we question the Major, why he acted so selflessly, he might simply say, “They would have done it for me too.”

Where do these feelings of trust and co-operation come from. Firstly, these are feelings and not instructions. You can’t instruct people to trust and co-operate.

To understand this, let’s take a step back in time. Thousands of years ago, humans faced constant threats—wild animals, harsh weather, and scarce resources. To survive, they formed social networks—a “circle of safety” within tribes, where trust and cooperation flourished. While some guarded the tribe at night, others slept peacefully, knowing they were protected.

Now, let’s relate this to the Modern world. We are still surrounded with dangers, like- economic fluctuations, uncertainty of job and business insecurity. Uncertainty of Stock Market, Pandemic, or a new business startup that renders your business obsolete, or a competitive world that makes you insecure and frustrated because it steals your growth. We have no control over these forces.

So how can leaders foster a sense of safety and belonging in their organizations?

During a conversation with Ratan Tata about how his company managed to keep paying salaries during the COVID-19 pandemic—while many Western leaders opted for layoffs—he simply stated, “My dear Pria Warrick, our people are our strength.” This profound insight made me realize that constantly battling with our own people within the organisation can lead to organizational catastrophies.

This brings us to an innovative leadership approach I like to call the “Parenting Style in Leadership.” A parent like Ratan Tata would never abandon his children (staff). A parent would never lay off his children, but would in times of crisis provide opportunities, trainings, guidance, confidence and coaching to non-performers, whereby a sense of belonging is instilled by a leader which results in a collective team.

In times of financial strain, while many leaders opt to cut jobs for some, what if we considered reducing salaries for everyone instead? This nurturing leadership style not only preserves jobs for all, but also fosters teamwork and loyalty among employees. This is what a parent would do. Think- More teamwork with faithful employees, along with a feeling of brotherhood. Wow! A workplace with very little conflict.  So, let’s embrace this new style of Parental leadership—one that nurtures rather than divides!

A Leader is one who knows his way, goes that way and shows the way by keeping his team safe and secure.

In the fast-paced world of social media, few influencers rise to prominence as swiftly as Gauri Singh, also known as Gauri G to her online followers. With roots in Dubai and an impressive array of talents, Gauri’s journey from beauty aesthetics to social media stardom has been nothing short of remarkable. Recently, Gauri’s popularity soared to new heights after her appearance on Playground Season 4, a competitive reality show in Mumbai, where she quickly became a fan favorite and won hearts across India.

Gauri’s story is one of dedication and transformation. Born in India and raised in Dubai, she later traveled to California to pursue an education in beauty aesthetics, gaining a formal degree in the field. Although trained as a beauty aesthetician, Gauri always had an innate love for performing and connecting with people. She is not just an influencer but also a trained kathak dancer, But Gauri’s ambitions went beyond the realms of beauty and dance. She yearned for a bigger platform, a place to create impact through her art, insights, and stories. Thus, Lahab Media was born, Gauri’s very own media company in Dubai. As an entrepreneur, she has channeled her creativity into this endeavor, curating powerful content and campaigns that have garnered attention in Dubai’s dynamic media scene.

Only two years ago, Gauri took the plunge into social media content creation. What started as a casual way to share her interests quickly turned into a full-fledged career, thanks to her infectious energy and relatable content. Gauri’s followers admire her for her down-to-earth personality and her seamless ability to blend her knowledge in beauty aesthetics with her passion for dance, culture & acting. Her posts, which range from dance performances to comedy skits, have a unique charm that keeps viewers coming back for more.

In a short span, she built a dedicated following, reaching an audience that spanned beyond Dubai. Her venture into social media turned out to be a perfect fit, as her follower count surged and her influence grew rapidly across various platforms. However, her big break arrived when she got an opportunity to be part of the hit Indian reality show Playground Season 4.

Playground Season 4 was Gauri’s chance to showcase her talents to a broader audience. The show, which takes place in Mumbai, is a competitive reality series known for challenging its contestants to prove themselves in high-pressure environments. Gauri’s background in beauty and dance, combined with her vivacious personality, made her a natural fit for the show’s dynamic challenges.

From the moment she stepped onto the set, Gauri captivated audiences. Her authentic and joyful demeanor made her an instant favorite, with fans voting and rooting for her week after week. She quickly became one of the most popular contestants, outshining others with her blend of creativity, dedication, and humility. Her time on the show allowed fans to see a different side of her-one that was unfiltered, genuine, and wholeheartedly engaged in every challenge.

The impact was immense: within just a month of her participation, Gauri’s Instagram following skyrocketed, with 40,000 new fans joining her journey. Her posts reached over 40 million people, a testament to her popularity and the love she garnered from the show’s audience. She left Playground not only as a contestant but as a beloved figure who had won the hearts of millions.

Following her success on Playground, Gauri has been riding a wave of new opportunities. Her social media platforms are abuzz with engagement, and her influence has grown exponentially, positioning her as one of Dubai’s most promising digital creators. Gauri is now focused on leveraging this momentum to expand Lahab Media further, producing content that crosses borders and resonates with audiences globally.

Her experience on Playground has strengthened her desire to bridge the gap between Dubai and the Indian entertainment industry, showcasing the talent and culture that both cities have to offer.

Gauri’s journey exemplifies the power of passion and authenticity. She may have started as a beauty aesthetician, but her heart lies in connecting with people through her art. Her path from California classrooms to Dubai boardrooms, and now the bustling studios of Mumbai, speaks to her versatility, resilience, and boundless ambition.

With each new venture, Gauri G is proving she’s more than just a social media star-she’s a storyteller, entrepreneur, and cultural force. From her roots in beauty and dance to her rise in media, Gauri’s journey is a testament to bold ambition and boundless creativity, marking her as a true trailblazer in the digital age.

The India we live in today is filled with aspirations. People are constantly looking for things or options that would help in elevating their lifestyle. This reflects in one’s choice of clothes or outfits as well. More and more people are keen on wearing designer outfits and looking their best. While designer outfits have always remained in demand, the lack of awareness around them have often made it difficult for people to make the right purchasing decisions. Accessibility to the right designers has been another problem. To resolve these issues, Suraj Kurudiyar and Sneha Budhia founded Scrollnshops in the year 2021.

As a brand, Scrollnshops was founded with the objective of providing designers with a platform to showcase their collection and connect with people who would be interested in buying the outfits designed by them. While big designers always had some visibility, newer designers often struggled to get a platform to showcase their work. Scrollnshops gives both emerging and established designers the opportunity to put their outfits on display. Creating this platform has enabled Scrollnshops to fulfil the objective of helping customers reaching out to designers more conveniently and getting the opportunity to choose from a wide range of clothing items spread across multiple categories.

Talking about the thought that led to the establishment of Scrollnshops, founder Suraj Kurudiyar says, “As a multi-designer online platform, Scrollnshops was set up with the objective of providing talented designers with the opportunity to reach out to people who might be interested in their designs and buying the clothing pieces created by them. Apart from collaborating with popular and established designers, we have also worked towards empowering designers who are new to this field and were looking for ways to get in touch with potential clients. Many of the designers on our platform hail from rural areas and specialize in creating outfits that reflect the culture and ethos of the region they come from.”

Scrollandshops.com offers customers several categories to choose from. Along with exploring the collection put together by different designers, people who visit Scrollnshops can choose from a large collection of jewellery pieces and accessories. The clothing pieces available for men, women and children are compartmentalized into different categories.

Elaborating on what gives Scrollnshops an edge over other online platforms selling clothes and accessories, co-founder Sneha Budhia says that “While there have been many online clothing stores for a while, what makes Scrollnshops different is that we offer clothing items created by highly skilled designers. At our end, we ensure that the clothing pieces offered by designers are of very high quality. We prioritize our customers’ interests over everything. Apart from providing them with premium clothing items and accessories at affordable prices, we make sure it is packaged properly and delivered them on time. Our ever-expanding customer base comprises of both old and new customers.”
