In this conversation, we will explore with Pushpendra Mehta, author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Observe to Unmask: 100 Small Things to Know People Better, the subtle yet powerful art of observation—and how truly seeing others (and ourselves) changes everything.

Drawing from his acclaimed book and life experiences across India and the U.S., Pushpendra will share how quiet observation, sharpened perception, and intuitive listening can help us decode human behaviour, build stronger relationships, and lead with empathy and insight.

Together, we will also discuss the karma behind human interactions - how our choices, thoughts, and even unnoticed behaviours can set karmic cycles in motion in both personal and professional life. How a lack of self-awareness and understanding of the karma creation process can lead to unintended consequences - and how we can course-correct through conscious living.
