"Bappa was the most welcoming, inclusive, and inspiring Executive mentor I’ve ever met. When approached with an issue, he always had the most thought provoking, introspective, questions lined up which stopped you in your tracks to make you deliberate concerns at their core. It was powerful. The same man who put you in deep contemplation also had the power command an entire room into roaring laughter with a single picture. It was awe inspiring. This is why after watching one of his didactic talks and seeing him invigorate and light up the faces and steps of executives, I asked if he could MC my wedding and he was crazy enough to say yes. In the end he didn’t MC, but he did give a toast to Family on our very special day. This day, brought much anxiety to the surface as we were bringing together the family of a girl from a tiny little 3rd world country with the established family of a boy from the coast of New England. Bappa’s enthusiasm, personality and sincerity were instrumental in energizing two wildly diverse families from vastly different cultures.  Getting married was the easy part for us, bringing our families together and getting the party started was the challenge. Fortunately, we had seen Bappa’s ability to motivate and engage a crowd while simultaneously knitting together complex talking points in a professional setting.  We approached Bappa with the scheme of applying his skills that we had observed firsthand professionally to our wedding. His philosophy and vision proved to be invaluable assets to us during a potentially stressful event and resulted in focused positive energy. Bappa was presented with the challenge of exciting and weaving two vastly different cultures together, which he achieved flawlessly, climaxing with dancing and cheers. We will forever remember the impact and energy that he used to bring our families together in such a meaningful way."
