Bijay Sultanian "I was born in Madhepura, a small town in Bihar. My father was exceptionally intelligent with mystifying math skills but became a victim of our family tradition of running a business. I was deeply inspired by him and grew to love mathematics. A lot of what happened to me is divine intervention. My father decided to live his own dream in me by supporting my higher education and discouraging my business involvement. As we did not have electricity, I studied under the lantern right through school, which was a modest Hindi medium institution. Mr. Bhuvaneshwari Prasad Mandal was the principal and an English scholar. He saw something in me that even I did not and personally tutored me to make me proficient in English. I am deeply indebted to his vision and generosity. In 8th Grade, I wrote a solutions manual for advanced mathematics (in candlelight, no less!). However, the publisher wasn’t sold on the idea as I was a mere student. This disappointment fueled my passion to be a published author one day. I appeared for the IIT entrance exams without much thought or preparation and was delighted to get through the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, the biggest turning point in my life. Professor Suhas Patankar, who taught fluid mechanics and heat transfer, sparked my lifelong interest in this area, gaining a deep understanding of complex concepts and eventually earning a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I joined DRDL Hyderabad and played a lead role in developing a liquid rocket engine, which is currently used in Prithvi Missile. Upon joining the team, I developed a Fortran program that reduced the time of rocket cooling analysis (hitherto performed manually) from a month to less than a day. I did my master’s from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras while at DRDL. I developed a rapport with Professor VMK Sastri, who recommended that I do my PhD in the US. I took the decision to travel when my daughter was 3 and my son was 15 days old. My wife, who deserves rich credit for our journey together, held the fort while I navigated the next steps. This transformative decision led me to three decades in the gas turbine industry in the US, where I worked in and led technical teams at several organizations, including Allison Gas Turbines (now Rolls-Royce), GE Aircraft Engines (now GE Aerospace), GE Power Generation (now GE Vernova), and Siemens Energy. A common thread in my career success was to question status-quo. I wanted to make a difference with my knowledge by solving complex problems in a creative manner."

Veena Iyer “I started my career with the State Bank of India in Mumbai, a city where I was born and raised. Over a period, I was exposed to various aspects of banking and realized that I enjoyed learning new things. I got the opportunity to work at the Head Office, where I was pulled into implementation of Core Banking, where banking operations were shifted into the digital realm. I also took interest in the welfare initiatives, as that was an area close to my heart. I was blessed with a supportive leadership team that encouraged me to be part of various activities often unrelated to my core expertise! I retired in 2010 and joined a few senior citizen clubs but felt that there was something important missing. I came across a course at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences on counselling but missed the deadline. This led me to Dance and Movement Therapy, an area that would go on to define my post-retirement journey. I had always wanted to make a positive change in people’s lives and the course on Dance and Movement Therapy gave me the confidence to start a new career. It was exhaustive and detailed, done in collaboration with TISS and Sohini Chakraborty, Ph.D, Founder of Kolkata Sanved, a pioneer in this field. It is based on the belief that mind and body are inseparable. Healing techniques are based on this philosophy which helps manage physical and emotional traumas. I work with senior citizens, school children and special children, and have been fortunate enough to experience some success. A particular example comes to mind, where I tried engaging with a depressed senior citizen. She started the conversation by saying that she did not like me. I persevered. After a few months, she came out of her shell and grew to be fond of me. These incidents keep me motivated. I also write for a publication – Date with Health every month. I am a core committee member of My Retired Life Foundation, which helps retired people reinvent themselves. I credit my parents for instilling values around integrity and empathy. My school and College (SIES) taught me dignity of labour, through initiatives under the National Social Service program. These life lessons have stayed with me and helped me live my best life. It is never too late to reinvent yourself and to make a positive impact. My message to the wisdom generation is to embrace the new and take good care of yourself. Without self-care, you cannot contribute to others meaningfully.” Read the full interview at https://lnkd.in/gsTVTdEp Interview & Photo Credits - Saonli Bedi of WisdomCircle #WisdomCircle #WisGen #WisdomStories #RedefiningRetirement
