Come with me to speak at Harvard Business School. I did not think this would happen for another ten years, but thank you to Harvard India Conference for making it happen. Walked into Aldrich, and it was a house full. Literally 9AM panel, and there was not enough room for people to sit. I did not expect that. The panel went off incredibly well. I think the panelists were engaged, and everyone was very awake and alert, which is surprising, I'll be honest, for a 9AM panel. And once that was done, I got to attend a few other panels. Roam around worst stunning campus. Look at the snow covered streets. It was astonishing. Also, got to see Priyanka Chopra speak. So, I mean, all no days work. Right? No. What a weekend. It was incredible. Of course, saw the iconic sign and had to stop to take a photo. I mean, it is a great photo. I can't deny it. But thank you for an incredible weekend, and thank you for making a dream come true. What a day.
