MasterCard CEO Ajay Banga on Taking Risks in Your Life and Career

I had the privilege of meeting him personally in one of the smaller cities in India. He asked me where did I work. After telling him, I was amazed how much knowledge he had about the company I worked in (it is not a well known company). Such is the power of people like him. They make their impression instantly and there is a reason why he has reached such levels of success

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place.

Energy, passion, confidence, bold, fearless, drive to move forward and not look back.

4:52 Never take a no for an answer! 5:28 Master communication to bring change from one person! 12:40 Learn from everyone. Deal everyone equal passion. 21:00 Do biz in places like the US where opportunities & openness are there. 30:00 "Don't show me your excel, story or what it could be. Take this minimum amount & accountability. Do it or you all will be fired." They'll do fine. 34:20 Spending time with instruments isn't a work-life balance. Spending time with people is. 36:10 Get comfortable with your skin. Deal with things, than hide. Humans are sensible. Caring for them is leadership. 41: 50 From India learnt: i) Have plan b, c, d ii) Diversity is having people around you to work who think differently, different background & don't like you. Expressed everything with data. 🙌

Great comment: "when you open a company in China, they roll out the red carpet, when you start a business in India, they roll out the red tape!"

I came here with no intention of watching the whole thing, but I saw and heard for 10 sec this great man talk and got hooked!!! insightful | Humble | Visionary. That's my takeaway and assesment.

Love the way this guy communicates, and he's totally right, communication is one of the most important skills you can learn!

This guy inspired me in many ways- Humility, Taking risks, feeling good about what you do, spend time with Loved ones and Diversity ❤️❤️

I appreciate his honesty and authenticity.

أعتبر نفسي ناجحًا في التداول بمساعدة الوسيط الذي يدير حساب التداول الخاص بي ويتعامل معه ويحقق لي أرباحًا طائلة. استراتيجياتها من الدرجة الأولى إلى جانب العمولة الصغيرة التي تتقاضاها على تجارتها. أستطيع أن أقول بشكل لا لبس فيه أن تداول العملات المشفرة أو تداول العملات الأجنبية هو أحد أكثر الأعمال ربحًا وربحًا لكل مستثمر لديه الخبير المناسب.

What a sharp guy...he talks like a natural mentor and is such a down to earth personality....so cool and humble at the same time....wow....the best part I liked was where he talks about being hungry to do more exciting stuff...even after being the CEO of MasterCard...simply amazing....can't stop listening.....

“Go for it! Never take a no for an answer.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It amazes me greatly how I go from living an average lifestyle to making over 63k per month I've learned a lot over the past few years that there are plenty of opportunities in the financial markets; all it takes is just to focus on the right thing. Credits to Zach Micah Demers

My favorite quote "If you look at our balance sheet we have no debt, only cash." Telling statement about debt, from the CEO of Mastercard.

it took 7 years for youtube to reveal this MasterPiece

Have seen this video since 2018 for atleast 40-50 times. Teaches more than what most of the management books can teach. His advise about taking risks prompted me to change my industry, my country that i used to work in and am glad i did so because it paid off. Terrific values and extremely articulate! Would love to meet him someday and tell him how this interaction influenced my life in a big big way :)

From South Africa and what Ajay said about the innovation they’ve introduced to social payments has been groundbreaking . More fascinating is how much more innovation in business and fintech Africa is fostering .

What a great communicator. Wonder how he learned his communication style. Very direct, humorous, no BS.

This is one of the best I have heard. Fantastic interview - simple , strong, informative and inspiring.
