1. Opening Hook
After two quarters of corporate yoga—stretching, balancing, and deep breathing—Tata Tech finally stood upright. The engineers reclaimed their swagger, the CFO stopped whispering “macros are bad,” and the CEO brought out his British calm to remind everyone that resilience isn’t just a PowerPoint slide.
