  1. Happy Birthday MLK – My ode to the Free Thinkers, Disruptors, and Iconoclasts | GAVS Technologies Monday, January 18, is Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth anniversary, which conspired to make me sit back and reminisce about the events of the past few months, when I saw the traumatic video of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis and the massive demonstrations that ensued across the US and in other parts of the world. The Black Lives Matter movement rightfully gained immense momentum and soon #BlackLivesMatter became one of the most trending of all hashtags. I was inspired by the Japanese tennis player, Naomi Osaka who went on to win the US Open and decided to draw attention to the #BLM by wearing the names of seven black victims who were being memorialized by the BLM movement. America has its first Black Vice President Kamala Harris who is of Jamaican and Indian heritage. My 90-year-old mother who is in Bangalore and is a political junkie, challenged me to name the Indian lady who was announced to be a member of Mr. Joe Biden’s economic committee. Convinced that my Mother was mistaken, I told her that Janet Yellen was not Indian. But she insisted and then I recalled that Ms. Neera Tanden has been nominated to head the Office of Management and Budget. India has been proud of the achievements of the Indian leaders in America – Satya Nadella, Microsoft; Arvind Krishna, IBM; Ajay Banga, Mastercard; Nandita Bakshi, Bank of the West & Federal Reserve Bank; Sanat Chattopadhyay, Merck; Niren Chaudhury, Panera Bread –and with Reverend Martin Luther King’s birth anniversary round the corner, I think it is opportune for us to celebrate the avantgarde Free thinkers, Disruptors, and Iconoclasts, who made this possible for some of this happen. From 1954 to 1968, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. launched the Civil Rights Movement in America, drew inspiration from Gandhi’s philosophy who has been immortalized as the Father of the Nation in India. On MLK’s birthday, I believe we will be well served to pay our ode to the Reverend and his fellow free thinkers

  2. John Lewis, Rosa Parks, and many others for their audacious vision, temerity, and currency of ideas and ideals – for these disruptors, iconoclasts made it possible for us to live the life of our dreams in America, a country that we have come to love and cherish. The above article has been written by Sumit Ganguli, CEO of GAVS Technologies, a leading name in the field of AIOps digital transformation solutions.
