Vivek's purpose and mission
With a humble upbringing in Pune, India, as a student immigrant to the United States, Vivek has successfully leaned into diverse cultures, values, and professional settings across the eastern and western worlds. This unique lived experience has shaped him into a resilient, thoughtful, empathetic, and curious individual. Today, as a truly global professional, Vivek epitomizes servant leadership, embodying authenticity and executive excellence..
His underdog story has instilled a core belief in the transformative power of learning, which has guided him towards his purpose – serving others to discover, believe in, and achieve their innate calling and potential.
Through this service, Vivek is on a mission to raise awareness and rally support in the search for a cure for Progressive Supra Palsy (PSP). This rare and debilitating neurological brain disorder affects millions worldwide, making it a cause that hits close to home. Vivek’s personal connection to this cause, since his father was diagnosed with the condition further fuels his dedication and determination.
To achieve this, Vivek has established the Purpose-Driven Leadership Institute, with its proceeds dedicated to supporting curepsp.org.
