Sanjay B Dalal shared thisThere are leaders who are loud and bombastic… and then there are leaders who stay grounded and humble, keep their focus, and think long term. The ones who lead with values and humanity, and let their work speak for their accomplishments. Tim Cook embodied that. Apple is going to miss his leadership. #values #mission #leadership

Sanjay B Dalal reposted thisSanjay B Dalal reposted thisIs Your Orange County Dental Practice Being Recommended When Patients Ask AI for a Dentist? A patient may never search Google for “dentist near me.” They might simply ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity: “Who’s a good dentist in Orange County?” That’s a new opportunity for dental practices—but only if your practice is visible and accurately represented in AI-powered search. An AI Visibility Analysis can show you how your dental practice appears across these platforms, what information they recognize about your business, and where there may be gaps that are keeping you out of the conversation. Don’t wait for your competitors to become the practices AI recommends first. 👉 See how your Orange County dental practice is positioned: https://lnkd.in/gfgbzj9G #Dentist #DentalPractice #OrangeCountyDentist #DentalMarketing #Dentistry #DentalSEO #PatientAcquisition

Sanjay B Dalal shared thisNot many business owners I know personally who are driven by a mission that goes beyond just running a business… so when we heard Doug Wooley share his journey so passionately from becoming a Marine and serving our country to finding his real purpose which is to serve our community definitely got everyone inspired. Come join us on September 24 for the Orange County AI Startup Forum in Irvine and hear talks not only from purpose-driven founders but also new entrepreneurs who are driven to make a difference.Sanjay B Dalal shared thisLast week I was honored to have the opportunity to speak at the Orange County Small Business Mixer – Business Owners Roundtable at The Duck Club in Irvine. One of the things I shared is something I’ve come to believe more strongly throughout my journey: business is about more than what we sell—it’s about who we serve, the relationships we build, and the impact we make in our communities. As CEO and Owner of ameriCARE Central Orange County, I had the opportunity to share some of my experiences as a business owner, Marine Corps veteran, and community advocate, while also learning from fellow panelists Dr. Neda Pelar and Wayne W. Lee. Thank you to Sanjay B Dalal and OGoing for bringing Orange County business owners together for an evening of meaningful conversation, collaboration, and connection. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute and to continue building relationships with people who are committed to strengthening our local business community. Serve first. Build relationships. Make an impact. #OrangeCounty #SmallBusiness #BusinessLeadership #CommunityImpact #Networking #VeteranOwnedBusiness #HomeCare #ameriCARE #OrangeCountyBusiness #Leadership

Sanjay B Dalal shared thisHow does a payment system that most everyone had never heard about become the world’s largest real-time payment system? India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) exploded from obscurity to global dominance because India made real‑time payments free, interoperable, and universally accessible — then pushed it through every bank, fintech app, government channel, MSME and every street vendor. The result: 49% of all real‑time payments worldwide now run on UPI, with 241+ billion annual transactions and 8,500+ transactions per second. Congrats UPI Team 🙌📈 source: Spark, UPISanjay B Dalal shared thisUPI has transformed the way India transacts... #10YearsOfUPI

Keith, sometimes innovation and growth can be messy. Glad you are recognizing this early and taking the necessary steps for consistent, manageable growth.

Congrats on the quarter, Marc and Salesforce team — the AWU acceleration is the number that matters most here, since it's the only one that measures actual agent output rather than adoption intent.
One thing worth sitting with: if governance and grounding turn out to be the real moat, that's an argument for Salesforce becoming the trust-layer infrastructure. Where does that leave the app suite long-term?
The 6x MCP growth is the tell either way — that's usage flowing in from outside your own UI. Curious how much of that volume is still humans-via-Claude versus autonomous agent-to-agent calls...

Sanjay B Dalal liked thisSanjay B Dalal liked thisThe age of AI is no longer nigh - it is very much here. We are at that stage where it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a product that doesn’t have AI somewhere in the description. Which got me thinking: are customers actually asking to buy AI? I don't really think they are - at least, not in the way we talk about it - so I wrote about what they may actually end up buying; with help from a little history, some enterprise software, a pack of chewing gum, and the obligatory Hollywood contribution to our collective anxiety about AI. https://lnkd.in/emdV7Gpm

Sanjay B Dalal liked thisSanjay B Dalal liked thisI’m honored to share that I’ve joined the Board of Directors of Alpha Public Schools! I grew up in India with a simple belief: a great education can change the trajectory of a life. Education opened doors for me that I could never have imagined - from New Delhi to Harvard Law School, and eventually to building my career and my own law firm here in Silicon Valley. That journey has made me deeply passionate about expanding access to the same kind of opportunity for others. Alpha Public Schools serves students in East San Jose with a clear mission: every child deserves an excellent education and the opportunity to succeed in college and beyond. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve, and excited to learn from the students, families, and educators who make the Alpha community so unique. Talent is everywhere. Opportunity should be, too. Grateful to Sheela Zemlin for the introduction that started this, and to Rita Scroggin and Firstboard.io® Board for the work they do getting more people ready to serve on boards. #AlphaPublicSchools #EducationEquity #SanJose #SiliconValley

Sanjay B Dalal liked thisSanjay B Dalal liked thisI actually like Mondays. I love working. I love building businesses and people's careers. And when it's time to work, I'm fully in. When it's time to be a dad and a husband, I'm fully in there too. I don't need to constantly check my phone on vacation or spend the weekend half-working. I can flip the switch because I know what deserves my attention in that moment. Work hard when it's time to work. Then go home and actually be home.

Sanjay B Dalal liked thisSanjay B Dalal liked thisThe Fork in the Road Home Guardian is moving faster today than at any point since I started this journey. And I’ve learned something important: when you reach this stage when the technology is becoming real, production is getting closer, the team is evolving, and serious capital and strategic opportunities start showing up people start coming out of the woodwork. That’s when the decisions actually get harder. Early on, you're fighting to get people to believe in the vision. Then one day, you reach a fork in the road where people want to be part of it. But not everyone who wants a seat at the table belongs at the table. For Home Guardian, this is that moment. We are moving from years of development, engineering, testing, patents and investment toward production and commercialization. Things that used to take months are now happening in weeks. Conversations are getting bigger. Expectations are getting higher. Decisions carry more weight. And that means I have to make sure the people surrounding this company are truly aligned with where we are going. Do they share our core values? Do they believe in the mission? Are they here to build something or simply because they see where it could go? And when things get difficult, are they going to push forward with us? If the alignment isn't right, now is the time to straighten it out—not six months from now. I’ve spent more than 30 years building businesses, and one thing I know is that growth can expose problems just as quickly as it creates opportunities. So as fast as Home Guardian is moving, I’m intentionally protecting the foundation. The right team. The right investors. The right strategic partners. The right manufacturers. The right advisors. We don't need everyone. We need the right people. There is a huge difference. Home Guardian is at a fork in the road, and I couldn't be more excited about the direction we're taking. Inform. Protect. Connect. Our mission at Home Guardian is to change the way people understand, protect, and care for their homes. We are building a single intelligent platform that connects homeowners with the critical systems inside their home giving them real-time information to identify problems earlier, prevent costly damage, improve efficiency, and make smarter decisions. At the same time, Home Guardian strengthens the connection between homeowners and the trusted professionals who service their homes, transforming the traditional service relationship from reactive to proactive. Our goal is bigger than creating another smart-home product. We are building the dashboard for the home a platform designed to Inform, Protect, and Connect every home we serve. Inform. Protect. Connect. #HomeGuardian #PropTech #SmartHome #IoT #HVAC #HomeTechnology #Startup #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #Innovation #VentureCapital #PrivateEquity #Manufacturing #FounderJourney

Sanjay B Dalal liked thisSanjay B Dalal liked thisThere is something powerful about watching a room come alive — and that’s exactly what happened when Lisa Luhnow Schmith and I partnered to bring MTa Learning to the Southern California Strengths Coaches community. This group showed up with curiosity, courage, and the kind of energy that reminds you why experiential learning matters. When people step into an activity with openness, you can see their strengths surface in real time: how they communicate, how they collaborate, how they navigate uncertainty, and how they lead when the moment calls for it. What I love most about MTa Learning is that it doesn’t just teach concepts — it reveals them. It gives people a chance to feel their patterns, stretch their comfort zones, and walk away with insights that stick long after the session ends. I’m grateful to Lisa Luhnow Schmith for co‑creating and leading this experience with me and for her unwavering commitment to developing leaders who lead with intention and humanity. And I’m equally grateful to this incredible community of coaches who brought their full selves to the work. Your engagement, reflection, and willingness to play (yes, play!) made the session unforgettable. If you’re a strengths coach in Southern California and haven’t joined this community yet, you’re missing out on a group that is generous, thoughtful, and deeply committed to growth. Here’s to more learning that moves us — together. #CliftonStrengths #ExperientialLearning #LeadershipDevelopment #SoCalStrengthsCoaches MTa Learning Petra Krebbs Stephen Thomas Susan Chang, PCC Nanor Ohanesian, PCC Krishnan Iyer Catherine Bair Bonnie K.
