Kiran Nadar

Not all art enthusiasts start their career with art. Some take time to finally accept their passion and transition into a full-fledged professional space of art. Ms. Nadar is among those. Born in 1951, Ms. Nadar pursued English Literature at Delhi University’s Miranda House. Post college, she began her career in advertising field in 1970 with Mass Communications and Marketing (MCM). After a few more stints in the advertising industry, she came back to Delhi to help her mother’s garments manufacturing company Alumna India Pvt. Ltd. But while she was creating a career in advertising or manufacturing field, Ms. Nadar also felt inclined towards arts. This continued even after she married Shiv Nadar – the Founder of HCL Technologies – whom she met in 1975. When Shiv Nadar was growing HCL, Ms. Nadar was helping NIIT become a popular brand. During this time, she also kept nurturing the avid art collector in her before finally becoming a popular one.

EMPOWERING THROUGH ART

Ms. Nadar may have begun her career as a communication and brand professional in advertising field, but she also held art closer to her heart. Thus, when she finally got the opportunity to take a step back and invest time in collecting art work, she did not stop. Instead, she continued her passion for art collections and finally in 2010, she opened India’s first private philanthropist museum. It contains over 8,000 exquisite art pieces that she collected since 1988.

Now known as the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), the museum has two branches in Delhi NCR in Saket and Noida. Some of the famous works from the KNMA collection are of leading Modern and Contemporary Indian artists, including MF Hussain, FN Souza, SH Raza, Raja Ravi Varma, Nasreen Mohamedi, Nalini Malani and Arpita Singh, among others.

HUMANITARIAN SPIRIT

The roles that Ms. Nadar plays are multiple. The most revered one is that of a philanthropist. She is literally the “hero of philanthropy” with her incredible initiatives. Apart from her art contributions, she is an active part of Shiv Nadar Foundation, which is known for its transformational educational initiatives. From VidyaGyan schools to Shiv Nadar University, she has been a part of many successful educational institutes under the foundation. Through VidyaGyan schools, she has been able to provide quality education to the economically underprivileged, meritorious students of rural India.

WINNING AT GLOBAL LEVEL

Ms. Nadar did not just win medals in international tournaments, but also won several recognitions for her contribution towards art and society. Forbes Asian Magazine named her “hero of philanthropy” thanks to her launch of India’s first private philanthropic museum. In 2018, she was named “Collector of the Year 2018” by India Today Art Awards.

In 2019, she was an awardee for India Today Art Awards ‘Public Art of the Year’ for the India Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2019. The UK-based ArtReview has named her among 100 most influential people in the contemporary art world.

PLANS AHEAD

The current plans on Ms. Nadar’s priority list revolve around art. She believes that art is therapeutic for people and this is why she is trying to reach as many people as possible. During the pandemic, she introduced virtual tours of some exhibitions, allowing audiences a 3D viewing experience.

The biggest milestone coming up is the new KNMA stand-alone building designed by Ghanaian-British architect Sir David Adjaye. This state-of-the-art building will be located in Delhi and house the new museum and a cultural centre.

Her patients have been connected with her for over a decade, which speaks volumes about her work. She considers all her patients to be her extended family and provides the best treatment for a positive impact on the psyche and soma of her patients. During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, she came closer to her patients through a telemedicine platform, and many people connected to her and found solace in her healing process.

AN INSPIRATION TO MANY

Neither success nor fame comes easy, and it stood true for Dr. Mohan too. She had to stay away from her family for eight long years to pursue a super-specialization in Cardiology. She accredits her success to her husband, and is grateful for his support and encouragement. A firm believer of work-life balance, she has maintained this balance and accomplished consistent successes in both her personal and professional life.

Jaya Subramaniam

With a zeal to identify and address unmet needs in global healthcare, Ms. Jaya Subramaniam leveraged her decades of experience in global biopharma to become a founding leader of a successful healthcare analytics start up Analytical Wizards and spearheaded its vision, growth, VC funding and successful exit to a large publicly held global healthcare intelligence entity, Definitive Healthcare in February 2022. She continues on the Executive Leadership Team of Definitive Healthcare, identifying and driving synergies across the integrated entity.

Ms. Subramaniam has an MBA from the Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania. She also holds a Bachelor’s and Masters’ in Economics from the prestigious Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University.

She worked in various positions across corporate strategy, market research, and brand marketing.

Motivated by using her business skills towards a more meaningful purpose, Ms. Subramaniam made a successful transition to biopharma two decades ago. Her cross-industry global experience helped her gain a broader perspective and worldview, enabling out-of-the-box thinking in an industry that was and continues to experience unprecedented pace of change and transformation.

Her diverse experience enabled her to bring a fresh perspective, challenge status quo, and creatively problem-solve to help businesses, organisations, teams, and individuals successfully navigate change, to innovate, transform and succeed in unchartered territory.

In 2017, Ms. Subramaniam partnered with her husband Ram Sharma, Founder and CEO of Analytical Wizards (AW) and his Leadership Team to build a long-term vision and strategic plan for the company and seek VC funding and investment to turbo charge growth and realise its vision.

Nevertheless, he was optimistic that he could build a WA-headquartered company with deep resources that would provide compelling careers for its people and long-term partnerships based on service delivery that would add real value to its clients.

The company quickly gained traction and is now a thriving global leader in emergency response, healthcare, risk management, and training services. A well-defined strategy and inclusive leadership have allowed him to lead the company to become a market leader in the Emergency Services, Medical & Safety Industries. Today, the organisation provides its clients with a wide array of services, including firefighting and emergency response services, medical services, health, safety and emergency management systems, emergency response vehicle and equipment hire, sales, design & maintenance services, and emergency response and medical training. The leader spends equal time with his clients, the industry, and his business. With a broader peripheral vision, he strives to stay ahead of his competitors by ensuring Parabellum always adds value.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Navin started Parabellum International with just two people, and took only a few weeks to grow to 25 employees. With his unwavering effort, the ambitious leader catapulted the organisation to new heights of success. He says, “The strain was immense, but everyone tackled it together and worked hard to build our company, and Parabellum International was born as a result.”

Today, the company is a thriving business with offices worldwide and hundreds of employees. Its proven operational experience in high-risk and remote locations is unsurpassed in the onshore and offshore oil, gas, mining, resources, energy, government, defence and waste sectors.

Navin founded Parabellum on a set of core values and beliefs that form the foundation and guiding principles of the company. He emphasises the significance of agility, transparency, and making a difference in the lives of others, which sets him apart as a leader. These values also shape the organisation’s actions, decisions, and overall culture. He recognises that agility is critical for success in today’s fast-paced and constantly evolving business environment. Thus, he encourages his team to be nimble, adaptable, and open to new ideas and approaches.

The young business leader had to take risks since he was starting from scratch. Navin, always the entrepreneur, understood the importance of measured risk taking from a young age which he used his savings as capital to start his own business. These savings allowed him to cover the initial costs associated with starting a new venture. He also borrowed money to buy the significant assets he needed to fulfil contracts. During the first two years, Navin did not collect a salary, ensuring the company had enough cash to grow. Instead, he invested his money to ensure the company had a bright future. He believes in setting realistic expectations to deliver the best possible product or service. “This mantra not only drives our operations, but also shapes our corporate culture,” he says.

A SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS LEADER

Navin’s commitment to the community is a substantive part of his business strategy. Over the years, he has facilitated the development of state-based skills through indigenous collaboration.
