The best thing that ever came out of a Petroleum Economics class in Norway? Ask Nikhil Bagde.

He met his wife there. Rode a bike across the Himalayas. Then did it again, with a kid in tow. That kid has now seen 7 countries. And Nikhil himself has lost count somewhere around 30, including one entire continent he can't quite place right now.

But ask him what keeps him going after 12 years at Zinnov, and the answer is immediate: problems, people, perspectives. In that order. Every time.

Partner, traveller, father, and the guy who settled the mountains vs beaches debate by simply choosing islands with mountains — Nikhil brings that same clarity to everything he does.

Bold. Brave. Brilliant. Kingsley at work? Impressive. Kingsley after work? Even better.

Meet Kingsley Samuel, Partner at Zinnov. He builds bold civilizations for fun, supports Chelsea bravely despite the emotional trauma (real fans know), and plays chess brilliantly, unexpectedly, but oh-so-Kingsley.

Parenting? He calls it the ultimate strategy game, tiny negotiators, high stakes, zero cooldowns. He’s still perfecting the art of not giving in… especially when his opponent is three feet tall and extremely persuasive.

Measured. Witty. Cooler than he admits. A man of many strategies, and even more surprises.

This is , your backstage pass to the lives of our leaders when the workday ends. And today, it’s Kingsley’s turn in the spotlight.

Out of office looks good on you, Kingsley.

What happens when you put two veterans in a room, switch on the mic, and ditch the filters?

You get the real talk: the messy trade-offs, the tough decisions, and the unpolished truth of building global capability centers.

In this episode, Deepak Visweswaraiah, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Pegasystems India, sits down with Nitika Goel, Managing Partner & CMO, Zinnov, to dive into the tough truths leaders don’t often say out loud: the echo chambers forming in the ecosystem, why culture isn’t garnish - it’s the operating system, why GCCs must learn to build AI, not just use it, and more!

🎥 Here’s a peek behind the scenes of the second episode of GCCs Unfiltered, a new series from the Zinnov podcast stable. Tune in now: https://lnkd.in/dcDHqkT6 🔗
