In this episode of the MyndStories Minis, Smitha Murthy talks to Patrick Pitchappa, the genial Director of Information Security and Risk at the Alshaya Group, and a keen runner. Patrick grew up in a small town in Tamil Nadu, and his journey from there to his current position is nothing short of incredible.
Over these years, Patrick has gained not just experience, but many life lessons, many of which he willingly shares through his life story.
“If you can make a difference to one person, at least one person, every morning I would say, or every moment or every opportunity you get, that is going to make a huge difference.”
We talk about
- What you do when you are rejected in your first interview.
- What gives meaning to life.
- How Patrick brings balance to his life.
We discuss
1. How Patrick navigated life as a small-town boy
2. How Patrick goofed up his first interview
3. How mentors can come in different ways and through different people
4. The one lesson that Patrick believes changed his life
