Life Solutions Attained from CHR Solutions
By Prasant Kalidindi
HOUSTON: On January 11, shortly after the turn of the new year, my peers and I moseyed into the office of James Taylor and Arun Pasrija in their corporate venture, namely CHR Solutions.
Firstly, the shear eloquence with which the speakers conveyed represented the ultimate goal of fundamental leadership in which my peers are trying to achieve through the guidance of the YLDP program. Because of the ideal leadership skills these speakers portrayed, automatically, they distinguished themselves as role models for each and every one of us.
In the session, my peers and I were given a cathartic conversational lecture by James Taylor and Arun Pasrija over their individual experiences in getting to where they are now and what they plan to do in the future. After this vivid depiction of two men that “started from the bottom and now they’re here” (Aubrey Drake Graham), we were given an opportunity to tour the rest of the office and the rooms which give life to the company. This tour showed us the complexity of the electronics and technology that function in their business; this complexity also symbolized the shear convolution that running a business in today’s industries presents. Because of these challenges today’s corporate world presents, each newcomer has to profitably distinguish him or herself to make a living while being surrounded by a plethora of capable professionals.
James Taylor and Arun Pasrija successfully did this by portraying themselves as “authentic leaders” and truly following their passions despite much adversity seen in the fact that they attempted to start 4 different businesses before settling down with their successful “CHR Solutions”. This experience not only informed me of what has to be done to be an “authentic leader” and come up in society but also dealt a necessary epiphany, or change in thinking that one must be ethical, take the right life path, and attain a locked in vision and stick by it.
