Navigating the world of business is not an easy task, and if there is an inspiring personality to look up to, it makes the perilous journey a tad easier, and more enjoyable. Suneeta Kaul talks to prominent personalities of the jewellery world to figure out who their role model is, and who inspires them

Seeking inspiration from successful people is the very essence of human nature – everyone loves to emulate those who have made it big in life. However, it is not just the number of zeros in the bank balance that make anyone an inspiring character – many entrepreneurs find inspiration from those with whom they are in close proximity, those whom they know intimately. Looking up to someone, finding them inspiring, taking comfort from their journey, being impressed by their principles and their way of not just doing business, but living life, depends on many factors and the reasons vary from individual to individual. Here’s what top entrepreneurs in the field of jewellery have to say about who inspires them, and whom they consider their role.In the realm of business, I draw inspiration from a distinguished trio: Dwayne Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and Ratan Tata. Each of these luminaries has a unique set of virtues that have shaped my professional ethos.

Dwayne Johnson is a testament to the transformative power of resilience, discipline, and a well-articulated vision. Kobe Bryant's unwavering loyalty and dedication have taught me the value of steadfastness in relationships, both personal and professional. Ratan Tata, with his impeccable business ethics and focus on team-building, has shown me that the cornerstone of any successful enterprise is its moral compass and collective strength. These individuals have collectively reinforced my belief that the journey to success is a collaborative symphony, not a solo act. My intellectual curiosity, insatiable appetite for reading, subscription to podcasts and blogs, as well as Ted Talks, have been the gateway to discovering these extraordinary lives. This constant engagement with various forms of thought leadership has not only broadened my horizons, but also refined my understanding of what true success entails.
