🚀🎉 I don't care about #Awards... Let's celebrate #performance 🎉🚀 Stay22 has zoomed into the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, landing at a stellar #12 with a growth spurt of 1980%! 🔥 While I'm not one to chase after awards or vanity metrics, this isn't just any accolade—it's a loud and proud shoutout to the rocketship we've built together at Stay22. 🏆🛸 Here’s the real scoop: - Beyond Vanity Metrics📈: Sure, Fast 500 or Fast 50 sound fancy, but they're just awards unless they echo our real success story. 📈.. and that isn't defined Deloitte, or any external entity for that matter. - True Testament: This recognition is a testament to something special we’ve nurtured long before the glitz of awards came knocking. It’s about our #CURIOUSIY, #CARE, #DWIFT and the disruptive, innovative strides we make every day. - Roots of Our Success: As we bask in this glory, let’s not forget what truly drives us – #innovation, our dedicated #team, and a #vision that started way before these accolades. 🌱 So, as we get all these kudos, let's keep our feet on the ground and our eyes on the stars, remembering the real drivers of our success. 💪 To our incredible team, partners, and community—this rocket is fueled by you, and we're just getting started! 🚀 #TechFast50 #Stay22 #NotJustANumber #Innovation #TravelTech #Growth #Teamwork #Tech #Travel

𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗶𝗺, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻! 💚 #TheNextStage A Leap into the Future with Deloitte Germany! 🦾 Last week in Berlin, I joined over 4,500 of my Deloitte Consulting colleagues for an incredible event that marked a new chapter in our journey. "The Next Stage" was more than just a conference; it was a celebration of our collective growth and a look into the future of consulting. 🤝 Being part of this gathering reminded me of the power of #collaboration and learning from one another. Having access to so many brilliant minds is not just inspiring—it’s transformative. It's clear that growing alongside such knowledgeable individuals is a key part of our success. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗶𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁: 🟢 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: This event profoundly impacted me by highlighting that real innovation isn’t just about adopting new technologies—it's about the people who live, adapt, and propel these advancements. 💡 🟢 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 Lara Sophie Bothur: Lara's workshop was a transformative experience, inspiring courage and giving voice to all participants. Her dynamic approach helped us find our own strength and articulate our ideas with confidence on LinkedIn. Lara's expertise and unique style make her an invaluable guide in the journey of personal and professional growth. 🦾 🟢 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁: We explored concrete solutions that pave the way for establishing a growth mindset across industries.

Our goal is clear: to spearhead these crucial conversations and catalyze lasting, impactful change across the globe. This event wasn't just about meeting up; it was about discovering new ways to better serve our clients, enhance our skills, and push our limits as a consulting firm.

It's been now a few weeks that I've been working at a boutique consulting firm, and boy, what a change ✨ ! I've got a new gig at Gate One to grow the customer strategy, customer experience and digital transformation business....whilst working on a lot of really cool startups and fractional projects on the side, which I'll spill in due time! A couple of reflections: 𝟭) 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🫶 - When I was at Deloitte Digital, it was almost too easy. RFPs used to come to our desk. But it wasn't the real world. Now I'm learning the art of really generating leads and building relationships and it's been one of the biggest learning curves already and for me, quite a fun one! 𝟮) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 ⚡ - The energy is electric. Everyone is hustling, wearing multiple hats, and always looking for the next big opportunity. Whilst I felt this at Deloitte Digital, the mindset shift is real when you're in a smaller team. There's no big safety net to lean on....One super cool thing Gate One allows us to do is work on our own startups whilst balancing the day to day consulting job. 𝟯) 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 🎨 - There's so much room to experiment and that means, ability to spin up things faster. It's triggering the classic new joiner existential crisis....where do I belong, where can I help but I'm slowly but surely finding my footing! I feel like those skill gaps I didn't realise I wasn't building by being in a large firm, I'm doing that now and just going to try to keep going, adding to the bank of what makes up Kajol and how can I become better. As I figure out what life looks like beyond an 8 year identity tied to a single firm... I'm super excited! Be patient with me whilst I start to figure out my journey and super excited to see where this takes me!

💡 Exploring the Future of Audit at PwC - Exciting Times Ahead: 💡 Anyone for #LegoFridays? We had a very fun workshop last week exploring what lies ahead for our industry. Working in #Innovation in #DigitalAudit at PwC, it's our philosophy to continuously adapt, embrace innovation, and focus on delivering insights and value to clients in an ever-changing business landscape. But given the pace of change in the last 18 months, our Partners took time out to think differently. We put ourselves in our clients’ shoes and challenged ourselves to think about what the #AuditoftheFuture might look like from their perspective and assess the potential impact of The new Essential Eight technologies. Technology is the key enabler in evolving our approach to align with our clients’ transformation journeys and strengthening the foundations of our audit approach will always be quality and trust. More updates to come as we continue to explore the #FutureofAudit and #GenAI. And most importantly, will #LegoFridays become a thing?

I often find myself sharing my journey with other professionals when they ask, "Why did you leave a stable job at Deloitte that so many aspire to? Was it an easy decision?” Here’s my story, and hope there is aspiration for some: * In 1996, I launched my first e-commerce startup in Pakistan, when the internet was barely introduced. * During my master's at The University of Sheffield, I assembled and sold desktops. * My first week in the US, I found out I no longer had a job. * In 2003, I started at a small firm in Houston. * In 2004, I joined Deloitte as an analyst, with the goal of becoming a Partner/Managing Director (PMD). * In 2007, I launched a app development startup called Traxcel. * Also a HealthTech startup to create human avatars, now known as digital twins. * Same year I separated from all ventures to focus solely on my career and after 14 years, I was admitted as a Deloitte PMD. * In 2020, I wanted to return to what I started in 2007, now known as traxccel, but COVID-19 introduced many uncertainties. * I officially left Deloitte in 2021 and took the CEO role at traxccel in 2022 and in just two years grew our client base and headcount by 200% year-over-year. What are the key takeaways from my story? Life is unpredictable, non-linear, and there is no perfect timing. To navigate it successfully, one needs: * The courage to step out of our comfort zone. * The commitment to our goals and values. * The capability to stay relevant. * The curiosity to create new possibilities. * The confidence to trust our judgment. In short, I’ve always had the a passion to build a lasting legacy. Everyone is at a different stage in their life, and you know best if you are at that point to take the plunge...but if you are passionate about something, better be prepared to embrace the turbulence.
