Hi, I am Sumit.
As you can see from the above photograph, which was taken at an altitude of 16,600 ft, I love going to unreachable places. The same holds true for how far I have come as a leader.
It was 2011, and I had just decided to organise an anti-corruption protest march. At that time, as an introverted techie, I had no idea what all would be involved, and I was filled with self-doubt and anxiety.
When I shared this with my mother, she replied back, “Yes, it is crazy. But you can do that. You will find out a way. Just put one foot after the next.”
Her words gave me the strength to organise what would turn out to be 400 people walking 11kms for the march.
I lost my mother the next year – in 2012. It was only then I realised that how much of a rock she was for me. I took on and achieved multiple impossible milestones only because she was my rock.
Today, I carry her legacy forward by being a rock for others. I coach, support, and guide leaders and entrepreneurs go beyond the limits of conventional success and to “unreachable” lands.
I am here to shatter limits, wake you up to what’s truly possible, and to eliminate meaningless work, burnout, and toxic stress. I stand for a world where people wake up excited to go to work, to feel alive in what they do, and to know they are making a difference.

Or, if you want to view my photography work, take a look at these from Amsterdam, Paris, Italy, and India. If you are into photo essays, you can see my photo essay from Kumbh Mela, or from the streets of Kolkata or Amsterdam.

“The first step toward change is to refuse to be deployed by others and to choose to deploy yourself.” – Warren Bennis
People today want to be led differently and have different expectations from leaders – they seek not only productivity and salary but also joy, meaning, purpose, wellbeing, and constant growth.
In any given moment, you are either Deploying Yourself or being deployed by something external – other people, emotions, circumstances, or old and unexamined habits from the past. The good news is that the choice is yours – to continue being deployed or choosing to Deploy Yourself.

Deploy Yourself School of Leadership existed from 2021 to 2025.
10GenPartners launched to take the school’s mission forward in June 2025.
I have taken a stand to:-
- Support CEOs and founders who are ready to play the biggest game of their lives without burning out their people or themselves.
- Use the heroic spirit of business as a force for good on our planet, and eliminate waste of effort and energy.
- Challenge you to see beyond your limitations, to dream outrageously, and to commit fiercely.
- Never judge you and to always have your back like nobody ever has.
Our clients pay a premium because our work together creates 100s of millions and the impact ripples across their entire organizations and lives.
