“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader. They set out to make a difference. To change lives and transform society. Their goal isn’t often about them but about building their community, their nation. “
Dr. KV Satish from Bengaluru is an embodiment of this famous quote on leadership. One may wonder what sets him apart among the many thousands of people in business in his niche, industrialists and pioneers. I believe it’s none other than the charismatic and selfless life principles that he lives by and his vision to impact society and the nation. His every act and move is driven by this very principle and is evident to not just the people of his nation but foreign dignitaries too.
Born into an average middle-class Indian family and growing up with principles and disciplinary life, Dr. Satish set his goal for life from a very young age – to make a difference in society.
