Going the Extra Mile with Ravi Puri at Capgemini

Going the Extra Mile with Ravi Puri at Capgemini

Author: Sanjay Puri August 23, 2023 Duration: 37:19

The pursuit of success is rarely a nine-to-five job. It requires a full commitment, both in and out of the office.


On this episode, I’m joined by Ravi Puri, Chief Portfolio Officer at Capgemini. He shares his unique journey of achievement as the child of Indian and Scandinavian parents.


In our conversation, Ravi discusses:


- The unique experience of growing up in a multicultural family during the Civil Rights Movement in the Southern United States.

- The role that Ravi’s father played in guiding his professional ambitions.

- Common challenges to finding a successful work-life balance.

- Being flexible in your pursuits to maintain a diverse set of development options. 

- Dedicating more than the standard 40 hours per week to achieve success within your passions.


In pursuing professional achievement, you can’t be content to do the bare minimum. You have to be willing to go above and beyond.
