While Gadkari commended Jimmy Mistry on launching the platform which would “help leaders in the post-pandemic world… and surely create a new vision for young leadership and entrepreneurship in the world,” Aditya Thackeray heaped praises, saying, “Kudos to your creativity! The world’s first business platform will connect organizations and bring the best of the world to our own country apart from social impact.”
As a first-generation entrepreneur, Jimmy strongly believes that modern leaders, especially in the post pandemic world, will benefit greatly from the knowledge and experiences from global leaders. His vision for DLC is to create an exclusive and secure global community of leaders that will help each other evolve from a life of success to a life of significance.
“After designing for some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, celebrities and socialites over the last 25 years, I observed that they were hungry to learn and stay ahead of the curve. We live in a volatile world and I realised that leaders, across industries, need a support system that will empower them. This platform goes beyond just networking and focuses on knowledge development along with community outreach,” said Jimmy Mistry, in a media statement.
DLC will focus on knowledge leadership and exchange, lifestyle guidance and social responsibility, while nurturing a support ecosystem for leaders worldwide. DLC has been able to get on board men and women of eminence – from IVY leagues and their alumni associations to 9 unicorn start-up founders, EO, YPO members, Forbes listers, NYC Best Sellers, Grammy Award winners, top government Attorneys and UN affiliates.
