Q&A with Amrit

What’s the common thread that runs through your career?

I’m guided by my intellectual curiosity, my enthusiasm to work with passionate, high performing teams, and my desire to “make a dent in the universe.”

What’s one of your superpowers?

Connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated concepts. Genuinely being happy for others when they succeed. Not following instructions, apparently.

A book you commonly gift to people?

Two books have changed my life: The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners by Jack Hawley and The Power of TED* by David Emerald.

In your spare time?

I love to read, travel, run, and spend quality time with my family (especially when it entails watching tv or movies!).
