As part of XCELerate, our flagship leadership development journey, we hosted a powerful Leadership Roundtable on “The Inner Game, The Outer Impact” - an experience rooted in real conversations, real challenges, and real learning. We are grateful to Ashish Das - Vice President, India Country Head, Kaiser Permanente, and Kshama Dhir - Head Global Business Solutions, Kroll, for sharing candid perspectives shaped by transformational leadership in complex, ever‑evolving environments. Thoughtfully moderated by our learning partner, Mridula Sankhyayan, the dialogue created space for honest reflection, practical wisdom, and meaningful exchange. From purpose‑driven leadership and goal orientation to emotional intelligence and executive presence - each insight reinforced a simple truth: Leadership isn’t built in frameworks alone. It’s shaped through conversations that spark clarity, context, and courage. #LifeAtPrincipal Principal Financial Group Ravi Bansal, Basab Bandyopadhyay, Siddhartho Ganguly, Neha Deosthale, Urmimala Roy, Swaroop Manyam, Reetesh Gupta, Pooja Gupta, Jay Pandey, Arun Dakuru, Arun Krishnan, GPHR Shalini Passi Kaul
