Find Your WHY: Unlocking Purpose to Build a Visionary Tomorrow

What fuels your passion, drives you to rise above challenges, and inspires you to create extraordinary outcomes? On 6th December 2024, smarTians gathered at the Convention Hall, KTower, for a transformative session with the phenomenal Ms. Manjula Sularia. The focus: Finding Your WHY—the unique purpose that defines who we are, shapes our goals, and powers our ability to make a difference.

This wasn’t just a session—it was a life-altering experience. Ms. Sularia’s words carried a depth that inspired reflection, growth, and action. She urged participants to look beyond surface aspirations and connect with the deeper motivations that truly drive them. “Your WHY isn’t just a goal—it’s your foundation, the north star that aligns your energy, focus, and dreams,” she explained.

The day was thoughtfully divided into four interactive slots, allowing every smarTian to immerse themselves in meaningful discussions. Each group explored the pivotal question: Why do we innovate, challenge limits, and strive for greatness? Through engaging activities and heartfelt conversations, participants unlocked personal insights and gained a renewed understanding of their individual and collective purpose.

But this session wasn’t just about personal growth; it was about vision. Ms. Sularia connected the dots between discovering one’s WHY and contributing to humanity’s progress. “When you align your purpose with action, you’re not just changing your world—you’re shaping the future for others,” she shared passionately. The room resonated with energy as participants embraced the idea of purposeful innovation and big thinking.

The transformative power of the session lay in its ability to combine introspection with actionable insights. By the end of the day, smarTians left with more than just clarity—they carried strategies to translate their newfound purpose into tangible outcomes. They were inspired to innovate boldly, lead with conviction, and pursue excellence with unwavering determination.

This wasn’t merely a workshop; it was a movement. It reminded us that knowing our WHY isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s the foundation of a visionary tomorrow. With each smarTian stepping out with renewed purpose, the collective energy promises to drive not just organizational success but meaningful change in the world.

As we continue to innovate, lead, and inspire, let the lessons from this incredible session guide us. Let’s challenge ourselves to push boundaries, elevate our thinking, and contribute to a future that reflects the power of clarity and purpose. After all, when you truly find your WHY, there are no limits to what you can achieve.

It was a crisp, electric morning in November 2024. The air was filled with excitement, anticipation, and a sense of camaraderie that could only be found when a team comes together for something greater than themselves. As the first rays of sunlight stretched over the horizon, the Punjab Half Marathon was about to unfold—but this year, something extraordinary was about to happen.

It would become a story of leadership, empowerment, and a collective push toward wellness, all led by one extraordinary individual—smartData Enterprises’ very own CEO, Mr. Ajay Tewari.

A Leader’s Unexpected Challenge

As the countdown began, Mr. Tewari, a figure synonymous with vision and inspiration, stood at the front, not as an observer but as a participant. But this wasn’t just any participation. This was a message to every single smarTian present. It was about something bigger than business, bigger than the race—it was about setting an example of leadership that goes beyond the boardroom.

For Mr. Tewari, leadership had always meant more than just guiding others professionally. It was about leading by action, about making wellness a priority, and about pushing personal limits. And as the whistle blew and the runners took off, it became clear—this wasn’t just about completing a marathon. This was about showing everyone that true leadership means embracing every challenge with both confidence and humility.

Running the Race of Leadership

With over 60 smarTians running alongside Mr. Tewari, the marathon became a vivid demonstration of what true wellness looks like: a holistic approach to well-being where both body and mind are nurtured, and where fitness fuels productivity and success.

Each stride taken by a smarTian was a victory not just for them, but for the entire organization, proving that when we prioritize our health, we’re able to give our best, both in our careers and in our personal lives.

Teamwork That Transcends Limits

What unfolded next was nothing short of extraordinary. As the runners neared the finish line, it wasn’t just the leaders who were pushing through. Every single smarTian, regardless of their pace, was driven by the same collective spirit. The marathon was no longer just about crossing the line individually—it was about supporting each other, cheering each other on, and breaking limits together.

In the final stretch, Mr. Tewari wasn’t running alone—he was running with his team, with the entire smartData family. It was a moment of pure teamwork, where leadership wasn’t just about one person at the front, but about a shared commitment to overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, and celebrating every triumph, big or small.

A Legacy of Wellness and Leadership

Under the guidance of Mr. Tewari, this marathon became a reminder that true leadership is about more than achieving business success—it’s about creating a culture where well-being is prioritized, where individuals are empowered to break their own limits, and where every challenge is met with resilience and strength.

It was a true testament to how these core principles come together to create a thriving, empowered community.

A Platform for Leadership

This season, the SPL wasn’t just about cricket—it was about leadership in action. Players were given the opportunity to step into leadership roles on and off the field, where effective communication, team coordination, and decision-making took center stage. Each match became a leadership training ground, where participants not only developed their cricketing skills but also honed the leadership qualities needed to drive success in all areas of life.

The Power of Teamwork

Teamwork was the heartbeat of SPL Season 15. The tournament was an extraordinary display of collaboration, where individuals worked together to achieve a common goal—winning the game. However, the real victory was in the camaraderie, trust, and support that players offered one another. Every pass, every run, every catch was a reflection of what can be achieved when teams come together with a shared purpose. Whether on the field or in the workplace, teamwork is the driving force behind success.

A Fun and Inspiring Experience

While SPL was competitive, it was equally about taking a pause for fun. Every match was infused with joy, laughter, and moments of camaraderie that made the entire experience unforgettable. This balance between fun and competition is what makes the SPL such a unique and motivating event at smartData. It’s an opportunity to enjoy, recharge, and be inspired by the incredible teamwork and leadership that shine through in every game.

Looking Ahead
