GPS for Next Normal
Ecosystem Platform as a catalyst to offer 1) Spiritual Inspiration, 2) Personalised Mentoring & 3) Enablers for effective Ecosystem Orchestration to co-create cohesive, inclusive impact & thrive in changing times
Evolving holistically beyond individual or organisational resources, capabilities and reach
Present problems, comfort, or distractions keep us stuck and make us vulnerable to any weak link or disruptive change from any dimension. The PUSH-driven world with a short attention span lauds quick-fix success, discourages setbacks, sympathises with the vulnerable, and ignores unsung heroes & life-changing initiatives.
The pandemic made us realise the limitations of ownership of physical resources, power, rules, capabilities, privileges, reach, and influences.
However, we can tap the abundant transformative potential of Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP) and MTP-driven alliances with shared values and complementary strengths to visualise all scenarios and innovative options that have a positive impact beyond limitations on MTP.
Core Value Proposition for Individuals, Cultures, Organisations & Ecosystems

Even generation gaps and class divides can be bridged if each side looks for a middle path to leverage complementary strengths.

Mentoring & Orchestration
The founder, Pankaj Sarda, offers personalised mentoring, orchestration of ecosystems & platform management for value co-creation as per the agreed manifesto.
He has 14 years of experience anchoring discussions on emerging risks and opportunities across all levels and verticals in conglomerates. With the active involvement of other Group and SBU leaders, these discussions enabled multidimensional futuristic thinking, capturing actionable insights and prioritising initiatives based on potential impact.
After retiring from his corporate job, he took courses on Fintech (Harvard), the ExO Model (OpenExO), and Purpose Mentoring. He now offers entrepreneurial mentoring to startups.
The Ecosystem platform will, therefore, offer a blend of 1) Innovation & Risk Management and 2) Entrepreneurship & Professional governance.
Framework:
- Happiness & Wellness Club:
Authentic institutions, trained associates, and practitioners will inspire, empower, and encourage spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical evolution to boost and channel club participants' inner and collective energy for all other initiatives.
2. Mentoring: Mentors will offer the following:
- Personalised, detached and holistic contextual understanding
- Helicopter-like overview (of emerging scenarios & innovative options)
- Methodology (for tapping transformative potential & consistently balanced evolving of minds, initiatives, and ecosystems).
- Connecting the initiative to existing or designing new Ecosystem Platforms for cohesive impact
Krishna's mentoring on the battlefield of Mahabharat, an Indian epic, is a model for the platform.
As a Mentor & Charioteer (Sarthi), Krishna offered a) detached observation (Krishna neither picked up weapons nor advised or coached on how to fight a war), b) contextual understanding (by being aligned for a lifetime & even on the battlefield), c) a transformative perspective (through the Bhagavad Gita), and d) timely direction to Arjuna. On the other hand, as a mentee, Arjuna was transparent about his dilemmas & receptive to a larger perspective even under crisis.
