The full blueprint — people/leadership strength + started young = the most powerful exec combo.
🌱 Phase 1 — Foundation (now → age 10)
⬤ ACTIVE PHASE — You are here
The real move here is the school choice. An IB-affiliated or strong CBSE school in Gurugram sets the peer network for life. Team sports and debate aren't extracurriculars — they're leadership training disguised as fun.

🛡️ The Competitive Advantage Stack
✦ People skills from age 3 — natural leader, not a trained one
✦ 20+ years of public speaking — commands any room
✦ Economics + Maths DNA — speaks in numbers, thinks in systems
✦ Tier-1 credentials — IB → LSE/SRCC → ISB/INSEAD → MBB
✦ Network from age 5 — grew up with the future leaders of India
🎯 The Core Thesis
Siya doesn't need to be the smartest in the room — they need to be the one people follow. You're building that from day one. Under-5 with natural people skills is the ideal starting point for engineering an exec.
The wife-facing framing throughout: Let her propose the school, let Siya "choose" debate, let the MBA feel like Siya's ambition. You're the architect, she's the face — everyone wins, especially Siya.
