North Carolina-based executive architect Abhijeet Patil has long led complex hybrid cloud initiatives for Fortune 500s and loved the challenge. A recent self-generated challenge to write in the public space—his “writing spree”— has helped him discover the joy, clarity, and courage that comes from expressing ourselves in the written word. He’s also learned that writing about India, his motherland, and the people he still cares about there brings geographies and hearts closer.
In our interview we hear of Abhijeet’s writing process. His first beautiful essay “About My Father!” chronicles the coaching and leadership his father provided him and took him one hour to write. We hear of his love for two lands: the U.S. and India—and how writing reminds him of what’s most important: family, authenticity, courage, kindness, and love.
