A few months late, but what a pleasure it is to welcome back back both — Naved Yusufzai and Meenakshi Kakran — to #Planman! They both used to handle placements of Indian Institute of Planning and Management students on behalf of Planman and were the stars who lead the Golden Era of @iipm_in Placements! Their focus helped position #IIPM as a powerhouse for employability, particularly in marketing, sales, and BFSI sectors. Some of the Record-Breaking Placement Highlights Under Naved and Meenakshi’s Guidance were: • Way back in early 2000s they made sure the average domestic package stood at around ₹5 lakh per annum (something I hear even the current crop 15 to 20 years later are struggling to get). In that particular year, I remember the highest domestic package reaching ₹12 lakh and the highest international package touching ₹27 lakh including offers from Al Mashriq LLC in Dubai. • It was during their time, IIPM achieved massive placement volumes, with 10,000+ students placed over a five-year period across numerous companies. About three-fourths of these students opted for marketing and sales roles. One year alone saw 250 international placements. • Recruiters from major Indian corporates actively participated in campus drives. BFSI giants such as ICICI and Reliance ADAG were prominent recruiters, with large-scale hiring drives that sometimes involved over 100 students per company in peak years. In fact, their efforts in many ways translated into outstanding recognition of IIPM in independent B-school surveys that evaluated placements, industry interface, global exposure, and student perceptions and between 2008 & 2012 in survey after survey, while IIPM was #ranked No. 1 B-school in India in #globalexposure and often in industry interface, intellectual impact & CSR etc, it kept getting ranked in top 10 for placements. These accomplishments were the direct result of Naved and Meenakshi’s tireless work in building recruiter relationships, designing global placement initiatives, and ensuring students received roles that matched their functional preferences. Their leadership made IIPM a preferred destination for companies seeking talented, industry-ready professionals. Today, as they return to the Planman family, we celebrate and remember the extraordinary placement records they created — records that continue to inspire and set benchmarks for what is possible when passionate leadership meets unwavering commitment to student success. Welcome back, Naved and Meenakshi! The legacy you built continues to shine bright and the students you placed are now at the top of the corporate rung globally. As CEOs they will now be handling #GOTA—Global Opportunity & Threat Analysis Program of the Planman Group initiatives— #IoE & #MYOD, while also helping with the the new initiatives in the health and longevity sector of the group. Here’s to newer benchmarks! #daretothinkbeyond #gota #Instituteofentrepreneurship #makeyourowndestiny

Finally a #Meditation Program that explained its link with #LongevityScience! Thank you #ArtofLiving! My life has been a mission to promote GOOD SCIENCE. To me, a simple scientific research paper is of no use even if it has used large data sets, randomised controlled studies, and peer review because too many of these have been manipulated in the past by the funders, the research journals, and biased researchers. So what is good science? Good science to me must be based upon 1. Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: These are the "gold standard" of the gold standard. They don't just look at one study; they combine data from multiple high-quality trials to find an overall truth, significantly reducing the impact of any single flawed study. 2. Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs): These are individual experiments where participants are randomly assigned to a treatment or a control group. Randomisation is the key to trust because it ensures that differences in results are likely caused by the treatment itself rather than other factors like age or lifestyle. Meditation and its link with longevity are based on extremely respectable good science. The connection isn't just wellness talk but is rooted in molecular biology, especially with respect to: 1. Telomere Protection: This is the "gold standard" of meditation-longevity research. Telomeres are the protective caps on your DNA. Every time a cell divides, they get shorter; when they're gone, the cell dies. Peer-reviewed studies show that meditation increases telomerase, the enzyme that repairs these caps. 2. Inflammaging: Chronic inflammation is a primary driver of aging. "Good science" shows that meditation downregulates pro-inflammatory genes, effectively slowing down the biological "rusting" of your body. 3. Brain Volume: Neurological research using MRI scans shows that long-term meditators have more gray matter in the prefrontal cortex compared to age-matched controls, suggesting it can offset the natural brain shrinking that happens as we age. And globally one of the greatest organisations that has taken the art of meditation door to door is the Art of Living Foundation. I have done science-based studies on almost everything possible to do with longevity over more than 15 years now. And I'm a yoga practitioner for two decades plus. However, I have done meditation only on and off and never been happy with the results nor been able to practise on my own. Art of Living conducts the most globally spread and appreciated — more or less — non-religious meditation programmes... and the rarest one that tries to link it systematically to longevity science. So I got enrolled in this programme on MEDITATION FOR LONGEVITY— BEYOND SUCCESS 2.0, with an extremely limited purpose — to learn #SriSriRaviShankar’s Sudarshan Kriya for Meditation, and to find out if that helps me practise meditation any better than previously. I have come back extremely happy with practical knowledge of meditation and a feeling that yes, now I think I will be able to do meditation on a regular basis on my own. The Sudarshan Kriya certainly helped me meditate, and I hope now at home I will be able to do the same on my own with the simple process that was taught. I'm grateful to the foundation and the teachers!!

*The Founding Director of IIPM Movement, Dr. Malay Chaudhuri’s 89th Birth Anniversary: The Visionary Who Turned His Tagore Dream into India’s Own Nobel – With ₹1 Crore & ₹50 Lakh Awards* Today marks my father (Baba for me), and the Founding Director of the IIPM Movement, Dr. Malay Chaudhuri’s 89th Birth Anniversary. He left us in August 2019, but every single day since then I have felt his presence guiding me, reminding me what it truly means to live for others. Though he isn’t there anymore, I have said this before as well,— seeing him regularly in my dreams remains one of the happiest parts of my life. From 1984 almost right until the day he passed, Baba devoted his entire life to hands-on social work in rural India. He never believed in “donating money and walking away.” For him, real social service meant being there in the trenches — personally, physically, emotionally — working, educating the underprivileged, giving them access to better healthcare, fighting for justice, and touching lives one by one. That was his religion, and he lived it every single day without exception. But there was another equally passionate side to him that very few people knew about — his deep philanthropic conviction about *honouring excellence with real prize money*. Baba always said, “Awards without substantial cash have no meaning. They become hollow ceremonies.” He wanted recognition to actually change lives, to give winners the dignity and freedom that only financial independence can bring. That belief led him to create what he dreamed would one day become India’s own Nobel-level platform — an alternate to the Nobel Prize in Peace & Literature, named after his greatest inspiration, *Rabindranath Tagore*. In the last decade of his life, at IIPM, Baba quietly initiated and gave away some of the *highest-value monetary awards in the entire history of independent India*. These were not small token prizes. These were life-changing sums — the kind that should have made headlines for their sheer magnitude — given to 50+ leading names of India from the field of Literature to Public Health to Peace to Journalism to Bureaucracy to Sports. Many of them for sons and daughters of Bengal — as an ode to his roots — a state he felt was full of talent that remained most under appreciated. Here are the ones that still fill me with goosebumps: *The crown jewel — Rabindranath Tagore Memorial International Prize in Literature/Economics/Management (2010)* This was the one closest to Baba’s heart. He had explicitly set it up as India’s answer to the Nobel. Legendary writer *Ramapada Chowdhury* received *₹1 crore* — at that time one of the single largest individual literary prizes ever awarded in India. In that historic ceremony, *Nobel Laureate Prof. Mohan Munasinghe* (Chief Guest) and *Lord Meghnad Desai* (Guest of Honour) presented the award along with Dr. N. R. Chatterjee, the guiding light of IIPM. Baba had specifically wanted an Asian Nobel laureate to come and present the prize — a dream he fulfilled with Prof. Munasinghe’s gracious presence. His vision was to make this the beginning of something much bigger… a Tagore Peace & Literature Prize that would one day stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Stockholm. *A deeply special and emotional recognition — Rabindranath Tagore International Peace Prize (2010)* For the fearless “Iron Lady of Manipur”, *Irom Chanu Sharmila*, who fought for 16 long years with her epic hunger strike against AFSPA, Baba awarded a staggering *₹51 lakh* along with a Gold Medal. This was one of the largest peace prizes ever given in India at the time — a powerful statement of his respect for true courage and sacrifice in the cause of peace and human rights. It was a very special award, close to his heart, and reflected his belief that peace warriors deserve recognition on the grandest scale. Contd….

2025: The Year “#LivingForever” Finally Went Mainstream! What a wild ride 2025 has been! For me personally, it was the year I went all-in on my lifelong dream of chasing radical longevity — completing 40+ certifications in Longevity Science, Lifestyle Medicine, Health & Nutrition from world-class institutions like Harvard Medical School, Stanford Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Penn Medicine, and more. As many of you know, I've been openly writing and talking about the concept and possibility of “living forever” since 2009 — that's 12 years before Bryan Johnson launched his famous Project Blueprint in 2021 (to reverse the biological age of his organs), and 14 years before he publicly declared in 2023, "My ultimate goal? Don't die." Of course, thanks to high-profile pioneers like Bryan Johnson, the idea of "Living Forever" is no longer mocked — it's going mainstream. In fact, I discovered and completed a Stanford Medicine course, titled something incredibly bold: “The Science of Living Forever”. Yet, the course that blew my mind the most, and I previously wrote about it (https://t.co/mmXPNOlXer?) was the Stanford Continuing Studies' Nutrigenomics and Epigenetics program: “Diet and Gene Expression: You Are What You Eat” — all about turning good genes ON and bad genes OFF. Immense gratitude to @LuciaAronica for the transformative insights! Shoutout also to Prof. Christopher Gardner (Stanford Medicine), and Prof. Beth Frates (Harvard Medical School) for their evidence-based “Nutrition Science” and impactful “Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching” program classes — both of who delivered science-backed knowledge, live and interactive, that earned me meaningful certifications as well. Now, I don't just feel equipped to pursue this goal personally... Through my latest venture, NECTAR, I hope to make my mission to bring affordable, evidence-based healthy living knowledge to millions of Indians — inspiring everyone to live healthier, longer... and dare to dream of living healthily forever, if not forever itself. And with Bryan Johnson announcing just this month (December 2025) on social media that he's aiming for immortality by 2039; I can confidently say: 2025 wasn't just my year of deep immersion — it was the year the world finally embraced the "Science of Living Forever" as mainstream. #Longevity #LivingForever #HealthyAging #BryanJohnson #Blueprint #NutritionScience #Epigenetics #Healthspan #DontDie #2025Reflections #NECTARforLongevity @NectarLongevity

We are proud to have on board Shikha Ghosh for the #LIVELONGLEADSTRONG workshop in the team of our 6 world-class scientists, doctors, psychologists and martial arts exponents. She will be speaking on, “The Hidden Brain Budget: How to Invest Your Daily Mental Energy for Compound Interest in Happiness, Resilience, and Longevity” #ShikhaGhosh is one of India’s most sought-after Master Career & Life Coaches, a Harvard- and Yale-certified expert in the science of happiness, managing anxiety, positive psychology, and leadership, and a passionate mental-wellness advocate who has personally guided over 25,000 students, parents, and senior leaders toward clearer minds and fuller lives. A Wharton-specialised entrepreneur, NCDA-certified International Master Career Counsellor, and holder of 12 elite certifications from Harvard and Yale in parenting, psychology, and well-being, Shikha translates cutting-edge neuroscience and behavioural science into simple, daily habits that protect mental energy and deliver lifelong returns. From the high-stakes worlds of film marketing (12 movies, 5 National Awards), Fortune-500 brand building (Sony, ICICI, Nike, Dior), and running a pan-India career-counselling empire, she knows exactly how decision fatigue, dopamine overdraft, and emotional suppression silently bankrupt even the most successful minds. Yet Shikha’s real superpower is making complex brain science feel human, warm, and instantly usable, and often laugh-out-loud funny. A 2nd Kyu Brown Belt in Kickboxing, she jokes that she learned to guard her energy the hard way — first in the KB classes, then in boardrooms and parenting chaos. Author of acclaimed-sellers including ‘The Greatest Salespeople’ and the upcoming ‘Make Your Own Destiny’, Shikha has spent two decades proving that when you protect and invest your daily mental energy like your most valuable asset, the compound interest shows up as sharper decisions, deeper joy, unbreakable resilience, and — science now confirms — many extra healthy years. In this energising, evidence-packed 30-minute session, Shikha will hand you the exact tools she uses with CEOs and teenagers alike to stop mental-energy leaks, make high-yield daily investments, and literally bank extra decades of clear-minded, happy living. Expect science, stories, laughter, and a laminated “Brain Budget Card” you’ll use for life. #NECTARforLongevity

It’s an honour of a lifetime to welcome Prof. Jay K Mitra —renowned Organizational Behavior expert, Happiness Mentor, and Guru—to the distinguished group of trainers at our LIVE LONG LEAD STRONG workshop at NECTAR: Centre for the Science of Happiness and Longevity. He will be speaking on “Positive Psychology for Vitality: Earning a Better RoI (Return on Interpretation)”, bringing his signature blend of clarity, humour, and deep human insight to help leaders interpret life and work more meaningfully. Dr. Mitra is an academic, poet, leadership thinker, and corporate philosopher who masterfully weaves neuroscience, Indian wisdom, and gentle humour into a 30-minute energising journey. His session promises to be one of the most uplifting experiences of the program. A guiding force in my life till date, Dr. Mitra was my revered teacher at @iipm_in , and I began my training career as his assistant. We both share the iconic Dr. N. R. Chatterjee as our common mentor—an influence that shaped both our journeys in profound ways. Dr. Mitra’s brilliant academic trajectory began at Scottish Church Collegiate School and Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya, followed by an Honours degree in Psychology from the University of Calcutta, where he earned Gold Medals and a National Scholarship. After completing his master’s and doctoral research at the University of Delhi, he became the youngest full-time permanent lecturer at the University of Calcutta’s Department of Applied Psychology. In 1982, he returned to his alma mater—the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), University of Delhi—serving as Professor, Director, and ultimately Dean until his retirement in 2016.. As a Euro-India Cooperation and Exchange Programme Fellow, he conducted pioneering research at SDA Bocconi in Milan, studying cultural dynamics and coping mechanisms in cross-border acquisitions. His global exposure and academic rigour enriched FMS Delhi, where he played a transformative role in modernising infrastructure, expanding programs, nurturing world-class faculty, and making top-tier global instructional materials freely accessible. Generations of leaders remember him for his participant-centric pedagogy, his ability to make complex ideas simple, and his legendary 24/7 approachability. Notably, when he invited Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India, to teach at FMS, Dr. Mitra humbly relinquished his office to provide Dr. Kalam with a suitable space, opting for a smaller room himself. His equitable and empathetic leadership continues to serve as a benchmark for many. Many of his former students now occupy distinguished C-suite positions worldwide but continue to hold him in deep admiration. Beyond academia, he has advised leading MNCs, PSUs, and private companies, while continuing his pro bono support for young entrepreneurs—a reflection of his generosity and belief in nurturing potential. Respected across academia for his humility, fairness, and insight, Dr. Mitra has served on numerous academic councils, boards of studies, and regulatory bodies. It is a true honour to have Dr. Jay K. Mitra join our #LIVELONGLEADSTRONG initiative. His presence strengthens our mission to help people live longer, stronger, lead wiser, and stay inspired for life. #NECTARforLongevity #NECTAR #LongevityScience #ArindamChaudhuri

DrArindam_IIPM's tweet photo. It’s an honour of a lifetime to welcome Prof. Jay K Mitra —renowned Organizational Behavior expert, Happiness Mentor, and Guru—to the distinguished group of trainers at our LIVE LONG LEAD STRONG workshop at NECTAR: Centre for the Science of Happiness and Longevity. He will be speaking on “Positive Psychology for Vitality: Earning a Better RoI (Return on Interpretation)”, bringing his signature blend of clarity, humour, and deep human insight to help leaders interpret life and work more meaningfully.

Dr. Mitra is an academic, poet, leadership thinker, and corporate philosopher who masterfully weaves neuroscience, Indian wisdom, and gentle humour into a 30-minute energising journey. His session promises to be one of the most uplifting experiences of the program.

A guiding force in my life till date, Dr. Mitra was my revered teacher at @iipm_in , and I began my training career as his assistant. We both share the iconic Dr. N. R. Chatterjee as our common mentor—an influence that shaped both our journeys in profound ways.

I am delighted that my efforts to promote longevity awareness in India through articles and leadership lectures since 2009 are finally gaining traction. In my 2019 book on antitheism, Beyond God and Capitalism, I included a section on 'Living Healthier and Longer,' exploring how health-related concerns can lead to unscientific beliefs in God and religion. I'm excited to share highlights of this journey: • FIRST PIC: My first widely discussed article in 2009, 'The Desirability of Living Forever,' well before longevity became a global buzzword. • SECOND PIC: Numerous articles over the years. • THIRD PIC: Article in 2024 whenI formally introduced my insights through the acronym NECTAR. • FOURTH PIC: The launch of the ‘LIVE LONG LEAD STRONG’ workshops to take NECTAR to the masses— supported by a team of global science experts, doctors, and specialists in mental health, martial arts, and positive psychology. #NECTARforLongevity #ArindamChaudhuri #LongevityScience #DareToThinkBeyond #ScienceandRationale

🚀 Transform Your Life with the Power of Epigenetics & Nutrigenomics!🌱 I’ve done over 40 certifications in #Longevity, #LifestyleMedicine, and #PublicHealth—30 of them from Harvard and Stanford alone, including top-tier, live-online executive programs. But one course stands out as truly life-changing: “Diet & Gene Expression: You Are What You Eat”, a course on Epigenetics & Nutrigenomics at @Stanford led by the extraordinary, #Netflix featured, Dr. Lucia A. To me, this wasn’t just another course—it was an absolute daily magical revelation. From simpler concepts like how to eat Broccoli to derive maximum benefit & the importance of Choline to broader and complex concepts like DNA Methylation Mechanisms & Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance, complex topics were made understandable & accessible to non-science students most amazingly. I’m thrilled to share that I challenged myself by choosing the Letter Grade option and earned an A! 🎉 As someone who’s recruited over 3,000 teachers in my career, I can confidently say there are teachers, and then there are exceptional teachers who change lives. Dr. Lucia is in a league of her own. 💡If you’re passionate about Longevity, Nutrition Science, or simply optimizing your health, I highly recommend this course. It deserves a global stage on platforms like edX or GetSmarter to empower millions with its transformative knowledge.🌟 #Nutrigenomics #Epigenetics #Stanford #LifelongLearning #HealthAndWellness
