Nisheeth Mehta, CEO of Microsign Products (a small/medium enterprise), doesn’t lead by example. He leads long before the example is even being thought about. Since mid 70s when his company was incorporated, he has had #specially-abled people in his workforce. What stands out is that all through this period, the majority of his workforce is specially abled – deaf/mute, mentally challenged and orthopaedically challenged. Out of 75 people he employs today, 40 people (on the shop floor) are specially abled. That’s close to 60%. His products go to top corporate houses and he too has to comply with stringent norms of safety and quality but Nisheeth simply says that it's always easier to work with specially abled people because they just don’t have the attitude to bypass any systems. Only the “normal” people need monitoring because they can take shortcuts for their selfishness.
It's contradictory that those who were designed by the divine, perfect in body and mind fail and those who were flawed in some ways succeed – that is what Nisheeth’s industrial world shows us.
I welcome all those who would like to bring Nisheeth’s experience to their business community to please reach out to me at hvj@hvj.coach
Small Big Wins started in middle of 2020. The primary objective has been to talk to people who are not so famous or known but have done exceptional work. Most of these conversations are with people who have done some real solid social good, while also holding up their selflessness. Their wins in their own words. You be the judge, whether Small or Big.
Coming to my latest conversations with Swami Atmananda Saraswati ji, I would first share in a few words my own journey of searching the higher. This started somewhere in 2012, from reading, listening to Osho, then spending months at Isha Foundation Ashram doing everything in the book there, listening to some globally “famous” masters, I ended up at home. Home meaning our own timeless Indian scriptures – Bhagwad Gita, RamCharit Manas, Upanishads, which reveal that, where only a few blessed revel. I learnt about Adi Shankaracharya and his contribution to Sanatan Dharma. Hearing discourses from different masters, once I came across a discourse on “Atma Bodha” by Swami Atmanada Saraswati. When I tried to google him, I could not find anything. Somehow deep down the searches, I found some co-ordinates to reach him. This resulted in increased interactions and my knowledge seeking got a definite direction. If at all, these conversations would be valuable and known, it would be for Swami Atmananda Saraswati.
It is my great fortune to bring “Who is My Charioteer” to the audiences. For someone Small like me this is a Big win! The Part 1 of this series is titled “Fundamental Understanding about Life”. You will find these conversations starting Episode 59. Just search for “Who is My Charioteer” in the title.
