A WOW Year

Signed Off in Style

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)

• 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.

• Forum transformation with 80% re-trained (Rupen)
