People in Focus: Sridhar Elamathi
Meet Sridhar, our go-to problem solver, the one who fixes, arranges, and figures out everything before you even ask. From IT glitches to logistics puzzles, he handles it all with ease.
Festival days like Vinayaka Chaturthi and Ayudha Pooja bring out his infectious joy, while regular days run on prayer, coffee, and the occasional chicken roll, always to the beat of Monika from Coolie.
Sridhar still fondly remembers his first day at JRD, where leadership support set him on a path of growth. Today, he credits JRD for shaping who he is.
Outside work, he blends tradition with fun; weekends mean temple visits, family time, and rewatching Rajni’s Raghavendra. And when music plays, our dependable teammate turns into a surprise dance-floor star.
Here’s to Sridhar, the colleague who keeps the wheels turning, spirits high, and the rhythm alive.
Technology Insights
The Human Advantage in an AI Era
As AI transforms industries and roles, one truth stands out. Success is not just about coding or cloud expertise. It is about mastering the skill of learning how to learn. This mindset keeps us adaptable, confident, and ready to shape the future.
Why It Matters
AI-driven workplaces reward adaptability. Many future roles don’t exist yet, and agility will define who transitions smoothly. While automation takes over routine work, creativity, critical thinking, and cross-domain learning remain distinctly human strengths.
To stay relevant, embrace a growth mindset, keep adapting, unlearning, and relearning as the world of work evolves.
