LOYA, at Taj West End, Bengaluru, presented an intimate and thoughtfully curated literary soirée as part of its evocative LOYA QISSA series, centred around The Other Side of the Mountain: A CEO’s Journey through Spirituality, authored by Sanjiv Sarin former CEO & MD, Tata Coffee Ltd.
Elegantly moderated by Ms. Vinita Bali, former CEO of Britannia Industries and Independent Director, the immersive dialogue traversed the delicate intersection of the personal and the professional. It traced Mr. Sarin’s journey from the corporate boardroom to a deeper exploration of self-awareness, purpose, and conscious leadership. Drawing from the book’s central premise, the exchange highlighted how the most meaningful transformations in leadership often unfold not in positions of authority, but in the quiet, reflective spaces between decisions.
The evening brought together a distinguished gathering of business leaders, entrepreneurs, hospitality professionals, and members of Bengaluru’s discerning cultural milieu. The conversation offered a nuanced exploration of leadership, resilience, purpose, and introspection—interweaving insights from the author’s journey with universal reflections on growth, transition, and the evolving definition of success.
Sanjiv Sarin, Author of The Other Side of the Mountain, remarked, “I wrote this book for young and midcareer executives who are experiencing and exploring the self through their corporate journeys. The fact that it is now reaching boardrooms and senior leadership is great . What unfolded this evening was exactly that a room of individuals willing to engage with questions that resist easy answers. Such dialogue is rare, and the setting offered the perfect canvas for it.”
Taljinder Singh, Senior Vice-President and Brand Custodian, IHCL, added, “At its essence, LOYA Qissa is designed to bring people together through stories, ideas, and experiences that spark meaningful conversations. The Other Side of the Mountain is a compelling reflection on leadership, purpose, and personal growth, and we were delighted to host an evening that encouraged thoughtful dialogue and deeper connections among our guests.”
The evening reaffirmed LOYA QISSA’s vision of fostering an elevated platform where dialogue transcends the culinary, bringing together diverse voices, perspectives, and ideas through thoughtfully curated cultural and intellectual experiences.
