Where are you treading to?” I was astounded when she replied that she had just returned from a Himalaya trek. Her rot new to me, but this trek was news to me, as T was not sure her health would have permitted that! My friendship with Keka bloomed while we were 40” BUSINESS SPHERE OCTOBER, 2022 staying in Katari Bagh, the naval residential area in Kochi, We became close friends as we taught in the same school, shating similar experi- fences while teaching senior students, Keka seemed to be sensitive and. emotional, atthe same time going through every experience with a light ~ hearted spirit. I enjoyed her outbursts of laughter rie ki and jokes especially when she moved into our quarters with her two little children, as she had 10 vvacate hers when her ‘husband had to goto Mumbai , on deputation ‘with Coast Guard. A few years later, I was delighted to visit her, happily setled inher own house in Nagpur. She was enjoying her career asa teacher 100. So it came as a shock ‘when, afew years later, she mentioned to me a new challenge in life she had been facing.MOTIVATIONALSTORY Keka had been diagnosed with breast cancer ina ‘medical screening camp at the school where she was teaching. She had no reason to be anxious about the test. But the result quite startled her. Sup ported by an efficient ‘medical eam and her close-knit family, she bravely faced all the ‘weatment that was essen- tial to become a ‘Cancer Survivor’ Keka wrote to me later about the new turn in her Tie in these words - “I was never upset on the day I got ‘operated, 28" August 2018, AIL had in mind was T ‘would fight back. That ‘would have been one of the reasons of my bouncing back to near normal. I was. the class teacher of Std X and the school was very demanding. The work pressure was challenging and I was gradually getting used to the new diet plan, medicine etc. Finally, 1 decided to give up teach- ing. Soon I got myself engaged ina different yet interesting activity ~ with ro deadlines to meet!” Keka emerged out of her ‘cocoon as a butterfly determined to fly and spread joy all around. She had transformed herself into a new creation, ike a product of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, the art which also em- braces the idea that one ‘won't realise one’s full potential until one goes through tough times. Dr. Rohini Patil, who had conducted the screening in Keka’ school continued to bbe an inspiration for Keka. Dr. Rohini mastered the artof making prosthesis ‘while she was in the United States. Back in Nagpur both of them ‘ventured out on their «dream project, “Knitted Knockers, India” —a support group for cancer patients treading slowly on their path to emerge as confident survivors. In July 2019 they took on the challenging task of knitting ‘and crocheting prosthesis from mercerised cotton yarn, They have inspired ‘many, not only within India Dut also from abroad, to join them as volunteers in their noble task of making prosthesis, chemo caps for those undergoing chemo- therapy, drain bags for patients who have under: ‘gone surgery and mastec- tomy pillows, to be distributed to the needy. ‘The raw materials for these are meticulously c’chosen to make them the ‘utmost comfortable. Medical screening is done atdifferent venues for women from all stata of the community and ‘workshops are conducted to offer counselling on exercises and life style changes. Above all ‘emotional support and sel confidence are instilled in those who are still grap pling with issues which they consider tobe depressing and ‘unsurmountable. Keka has ‘mentioned the spark of hope in their eyes when they touch her hair and realize it is her own! [realised the deeper significance of Keka’s profile picture when I happened to read a write- up by Mrs. Tulika Sinha, ‘who was also in the six- member trekking team ‘which Keka was part of. ‘Tears welled up in my eyes ‘when I realised thatthe trek to Hemkund Sahib in the Garhwal Himalayan region located at a height of 15200 ft, was part of Keka’s mission to announce that one should not be cowed down by setbacks or hiinderances; one should rather face the challenges and rise up like the phoenix: emerging from its ashes. ‘That was what Keka achieved when she com- pleted the seven-hour ascent on foot and held high her white banner with a bright pink butterfly and a bow, the logo of ‘Knitted Knockers, India.” What indomitable courage and will power she had to undertake this adventure, contributing positively to evoke hope and aspiration inthe minds of fellow beings! When Keka advises and counsels women who are at difficult crossroads intheir life, she continues to be a teacher, leading by hhand those who are unsteady yet willing to take the next step. Keka’s silent yet eloquent message continues to be, “One can notonly survive, but thrive!

The fifth pillar is Mentors because these guys may have never worked in a corporation, so how do they ‘ap mentorship around operations, HR, finance and marketing? How do they network, because these guys don't have an ‘opportunity to tak to large corporations like Accenture, PwC or Capgemini?

And this is nota new problem because this Ihappened to me as well, when T came up with the DSPN idea, 1 had only three pillars: Funding, Global Visibility and Brand Recognition and when I spoke to some ofthe industry leaders, we added ‘mentoring and networking to the mix.
