Our Founder & Director, Nanda Kumar, recently completed his 35th full marathon—the Rebellious Rubber Ducky Run at Staines-upon-Thames. With its peaceful Thames-side route and joyful theme, this event offered more than a finish line—it offered reflection.

 

For him, marathons are more than physical endurance—they’re a personal practice in patience, presence, and lifelong learning.

Kovaion Newsletter July 2025 (3)

 

Kovaion was proud to be part of the UKOUG SHINE Community Event, with Nanda Kumar, our Founder & Director, joining the panel alongside industry leaders. Srinivas Nadella also joined the event, making it a special moment for Kovaion to be present at such an impactful forum.

 

In a session led by Reshma Mahapatra, Nanda shared heartfelt reflections on leadership—drawing from personal experiences, family values, and his journey as an introvert stepping into the spotlight. His message was clear: leadership isn’t about volume—it’s about value, intent, and making space for others to shine.

 

The session wasn’t just about leadership—it was about growth, resilience, and the quiet power of showing up with intention! It was more than a panel—it was a powerful exchange of stories and lessons in purposeful leadership.
