Signed Off in Style
EO Kenya President Ronak Popat wrapped up his term with a powerful reflection on a year defined by growth, connection, and serious WOW.
From a personal story of transition and vulnerability to global EO moments — including GLC in Singapore and a tour of Mumbai’s metro tunnels (EO Forum Exclusive) — Ronak reminded us what this community truly offers: depth, trust, unexpected friendships and unique experiences.
But most of all, he celebrated the board that delivered:
• 21 top-tier learning events (Karim & Ashish)
• 2 record-breaking MyEO padel tournaments (Zafir)
• A retreat with rhinos, ice baths & Amazomg memories (Sneha & Sachna)
• Forum transformation with 80% re-trained (Rupen)
• New female members onboarded (Krupa)
A WOW Year
• Accelerator success with EOA-ers graduating to EO (Shilan)
• Engaging SLP experiences (Perveen)
• High-impact partnerships & sponsors (Sawan & Karim)
• Steady Finances & Governance (Ashish & Jenny)
• Consistent chapter comms (Olivier & James)
Ronak closed by thanking his team and passing the torch to incoming President Ashish Shah and his board:
“you’re stepping into something strong.
Now it’s yours to stretch, shape, and elevate.”
Thank you, Ronak. What. A. Year.
