The Journey of a Leader with Prof. Manda Venkatramana |

Описание: Choosing 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚 as my very first guest was not a coincidence; it was a necessity and a deeply meaningful choice. A way to honor where I started, where my dreams were nurtured, and where I grew not only as a medical student, but as a person.

During my years at Gulf Medical University, Professor Manda was more than a dean. He was a mentor, a role model, and a constant source of encouragement. Every warm smile, every kind word, every moment of belief he placed in me helped shape my confidence and my leadership. He showed me that kindness and strength can coexist, especially when the journey feels hard.

I am deeply grateful to 𝐆𝐮𝐥𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, a place that has helped me grow as a person before becoming a doctor.

Professor Manda’s journey itself is one that deserves recognition. With the Thumbay Group since 2002, he has held multiple pivotal roles: Dean of the College of Medicine for 15 years, Vice Chancellor for Academics for over eight years, and currently, Chancellor of Gulf Medical University, the largest private medical university in the Gulf.

Through our conversation, I discovered stories about him that I had never heard before. I got to dive deeply into his journey, understand the values that shaped him, and learn from the wisdom he carries with such humility.

Professor Manda shared stories that did not just inspire me; they touched my heart. His 𝑶𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 resonated with me profoundly; it brought tears to my eyes and a deep sense of pride, because I felt that meaning too.

This episode is more than a conversation. It is a reflection on leadership, faith, resilience, kindness, and the quiet strength behind a life dedicated to teaching and shaping generations of doctors.

I truly hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, and reminds you that leadership begins with values.
