Why Getting Laid Off can be a Good Thing | Chetan Mahajan | TEDxFIIB

Getting laid-off is traumatic in the least, and can be devastating. This talk is given by a corporate employee who completely changed paths and rebuilt his life after he was fired from his job. He shares many life lessons, including his learnings from one month he spent in an Indian jail.
Chetan’s last corporate role was as CEO of HCL Learning Ltd. He has also authored a book titled, ”The Bad Boys of Bokaro Jail” published by Penguin in 2014, but his writing career was not a bed of roses, it had a painful start. He has lived for many years in the US, where he also earned an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. He has founded ‘The Himalayan Writing Retreat’ that offers deep inspiration and learning to writers at all levels. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
