This is part of my bigger mission to develop a global mindset. As a person passionate about digital, I know that the World is now a global village. The World is increasingly getting flat and the geographical boundaries are disappearing online. It’s even more important to think international. I’m not just an Indian. I’m not just an Asian. I’m a global citizen. This project is a way for me to walk the talk and continue to learn the craft of developing a global mindset.<\/p>\n

A timeline is important for a long term project like this one. I’ve allocated 215 weeks to connect with at least one interesting person in each of the 215 countries. Not just connecting but developing a meaningful, long term relationship. The project culminates on 4th June 2023. Two weeks later on June 20, I turn 50 years and I intend to celebrate by launching a book that will compile the key lessons I’ve learned from this project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][mk_padding_divider visibility=”hidden-sm”][mk_image src=”http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/215\/files\/2019\/04\/about-kiruba-2.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”rounded” align=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#000000″ padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”60″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=”false”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][mk_social_networks style=”simple” margin=”20″ icon_color=”#ffffff” icon_hover_color=”#939393″ align=”center” facebook=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kiruba” twitter=”https:\/\/twitter.com\/@kiruba” instagram=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/instakiruba\/” linkedin=”http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kiruba” youtube=”http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/kiruba73″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” thin_single_color=”#595959″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][mk_font_icons icon=”mk-moon-phone-5″ color=”#ffffff” size=”medium” margin_horizental=”0″ margin_vertical=”20″ align=”center”][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h3″ color=”#ffffff” size=”18″ font_weight=”bold” txt_transform=”uppercase” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″ font_family=”Noto+Sans” font_type=”google” align=”center”]+91 9841597744 [\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][mk_font_icons icon=”mk-li-mail” color=”#ffffff” size=”medium” margin_horizental=”0″ margin_vertical=”20″ align=”center”][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h3″ color=”#ffffff” size=”18″ font_weight=”bold” txt_transform=”uppercase” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″ font_family=”Noto+Sans” font_type=”google” align=”center”]kiruba@kiruba.com<\/a><\/span>[\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” thin_single_color=”#595959″ margin_bottom=”50″][vc_column_text align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1555996595754{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\u00a92019 All Rights Reserved.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
