It’s not just about recognition…it’s about the journey.

What the giraffe perceives as a bullseye is actually the woman’s hat from its high angle. From another person’s point of view, it’s just a woman posing. Neither view is wrong—each is simply shaped by perspective. - People often disagree not because one is right and the other is wrong, but because they see the same situation from different angles. - Understanding others’ viewpoints can help reduce conflict and build empathy.

I used to think technical skills would build my career. Turns out, I was wrong. In the early years of my IT journey, I poured everything into technical mastery. Every new certification, every late night fixing bugs, every tool I could learn, I chased them all. I believed that the smarter I got technically, the faster I’d grow. But reality hit me hard. I watched colleagues with fewer technical skills climb faster. They were leading projects, getting visibility, and building influence, while I was still the “go-to executor.” It took me years to understand: your career isn’t built on technical skills alone. The turning point? When I realized that how you communicate often matters more than what you know. Because in the corporate world: → A great idea means nothing if you can’t explain it clearly. → Hard work stays invisible if you can’t advocate for yourself. → And technical skills may get you in the room, but communication decides whether people listen. That realization changed everything for me. I stopped focusing only on sharpening my code and started sharpening my voice. And that’s when opportunities opened up. Technical skills are your foundation. But communication is the bridge that carries your career forward. What’s one communication skill you wish you had mastered earlier in your career?

That quote framed one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had on Baskets of Knowledge, with our guest, Amit Khanna. Amit’s life hasn’t been a straight line. It’s a story of resilience, loss, and rebirth. Once labeled the “dumb student”, Amit carried that identity through his childhood and early teens. He believed it. because the world around him reinforced it. Comparison crushed his confidence. But one defining moment changed everything. After being publicly dismissed by a professor, Amit made a choice, not to fight with fists, but to fight with effort. He studied with intensity, passed an exam most failed, and realised: “I’m not dumb. I’ve just never directed my effort in the right way.” That single moment sparked a lifetime of growth. Since then, Amit has:- Lived and worked across seven countries.- Transitioned from physics and IT into leadership and communication.- Built a career helping corporate leaders navigate office politics, manage upwards and downwards, and communicate with impact. But behind the achievements is a man who faced profound loss. Losing his father at 15, his mother later to illness, and carrying financial struggles that forced him into work as a teenager, Amit learned that at every crossroad, you only have two choices:1. Give up.2. Continue. He chose to continue. And more importantly, he chose to live fully, to not just exist, but to create impact. Key Learnings from Amit’s journey: - Labels don’t define you, your choices do. - Comparison can be dangerous. but it can also drive you. - Communication is the ultimate career advantage. - Authenticity creates trust. - The middle matters. - This too shall pass. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt underestimated, labelled, or stuck in the middle.
