The 50% Problem

The world is changing faster than ever. Skills that took decades to build are becoming obsolete in years. The question is no longer "Will I need to change?" — it's "Am I changing fast enough?"

of executives say AI brings new urgency to reinvention

Yet most professionals are stuck in the comfort of competence — excelling at skills that may not matter tomorrow. The Dikshitar Mindset teaches us: embrace change, integrate the new, and forge your own path.

The Reinvention Journey

8+
Reinventions
Over 40+ years, I've navigated multiple career transformations — from Petroleum Refining Engineer at CPCL to IT Consultant at Tech Mahindra and HCL, from Domain Expert to Corporate Trainer, and now to Reinvention Catalyst in the AI Era. Each pivot taught me that reinvention isn't about abandoning expertise — it's about evolving it.

Today, at 63, I've built 7 AI-powered applications without traditional coding — proving that reinvention has no age limit. My journey from FORTRAN programmer to AI application builder is living proof of what's possible when you embrace the Reinvention Mindset.

The RMQ™ Framework

Reinvention Maturity Quotient

A proprietary assessment framework I developed to measure your readiness for reinvention in the AI era. Just like IQ measures intelligence and EQ measures emotional intelligence, RMQ measures your reinvention readiness.

KNOWING (Awareness)

  • Understanding AI's impact on your industry
  • Awareness of emerging tools and trends
  • Self-awareness of your "unfair advantage"
  • Clarity on what reinvention means for you

DOING (Action)

  • Actually using AI tools in your work
  • Experimenting with new ways of working
  • Building new skills and capabilities
  • Making tangible career/business pivots
