He shared the pivotal moments that shaped his career, moments of self-discovery where he recognized his capabilities and gained the confidence to push forward. It's these stories of self-realization that often resonate with most entrepreneurs, reminding us that our journey is as much about personal growth as it is about business success.

One of the most candid parts of the conversation revolved around the universal challenge of insecurity. Sanjay opened up about his own experiences with doubt and how he navigated those uncertain moments. His advice to fellow tech founders was clear: resilience is key. Understanding that both the good times and the bad are transient and can empower us to persevere. This mindset is crucial in the fast-paced world of technology, where the only constant is change.

The year 2023 has been a testament to the resilience Sanjay spoke of, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sanjay reflected on the profound impact the pandemic had on both his personal life and his company. FMC Technologies went through a rollercoaster of rapid growth, a downturn, and a recovery phase. The ability to bounce back was attributed to the diversification of their business units and the agility to adapt to the ever-evolving market conditions.
