The symphony of cricket was in full swing as England’s stalwarts, Root and Brook, showcased their brilliance, paving the way for England to consolidate their lead over the Windies. Drawing from my own experience of building from scratch and leading, I can relate Root and Brook’s performance to a successful startup making its mark in the tech industry. #VedantBlog
Their partnership was akin to a harmonious blend of technology and art, much like the union of my parents’ spheres – my mother’s enchanting brushstrokes and my father’s high-tech world. Their on-field rapport reminded me of my sister Priya and me, working together to bring about social change, each contributing in our unique way.
Just like the impromptu speech I once gave about ‘Ethics in AI’ that sparked a movement of responsible innovation, their unexpected and brilliant performance has sparked a wave of optimism among England’s supporters.
In the world of cricket, much like in the world of tech, it’s the ability to perform under pressure, the readiness to adapt, and the will to do what’s right that separates the good from the great.
As England continues to build its lead, the team’s performance will be a testament to these values.
