Q. Trust is one of the most important currencies of leadership and requires authenticity and consistency to maintain. What’s your take on this?

For humans to transact with you, it's essential that they have knowledge about you, hold a positive opinion, and trust your integrity. To establish these foundations, I have developed a global network of over 30,000 connections on LinkedIn over the past decade. In the last year, I have made it a daily practice to share content 3-5 times a day. Additionally, I have embraced a policy of accepting meeting requests from anyone, leading to numerous unexpected yet intriguing opportunities. I firmly believe that the primary factor in building trust, especially in the world of finance and investments, is consistent effort over an extended period.

Q. As the CEO of the company, what are your major roles and responsibilities?

My leadership philosophy centers on leading by exampleand providing support to my team in every way possible. I strongly adhere to the principle of ‘leaders eat last', emphasizing that effective leadership involves prioritizing the needs of the team before one's own. In essence, I believe that true leadership is characterized by putting others first, both at the beginning and end of every endeavor—a fundamental aspect of servant leadership.
