What if ownership is not something we inherit, but something we learn by experiencing it? In this talk, Ankush Mehrotra traces a deeply personal journey from childhood lessons and his father's quiet acts of trust, to entrepreneurship, failure, leadership, relationships, mentoring, and the responsibility of caring for others. From paying a family dinner bill with money secretly handed to him by his father, to building businesses, surviving the uncertainty of the 2020 lockdown, learning leadership through a dream of joining the Air Force, recognising ownership in a student, and eventually passing that same lesson on to his cousin, Ankush explores one simple idea: Give people something meaningful to own, and they discover what they are capable of. This is a talk about growing up, taking responsibility, beginning again, and eventually passing that sense of ownership on to someone else. What will you own? What will you build? And when you're strong enough, what will you pass on? Think it
