We’ve landed a crucial project with GlobalTech. It’s high-stakes and extremely time-sensitive. Success here could define our company’s growth for the next five years.
He pauses, scanning the room, and his gaze lands on Madhu.
MR. KRISHNA
Madhu, you’ve handled complex projects before, and your track record speaks for itself. I want you to lead this.
Madhu’s eyes widen briefly, and he straightens up.
MADHU
Thank you, sir. I’m honored to take this on. I’ll ensure we deliver beyond expectations.
MR. KRISHNA
You’ll have complete autonomy. Build your team and allocate resources as you see fit. But remember—failure is not an option.

Understood.
The room murmurs with mixed reactions. A few colleagues exchange skeptical looks, but others nod, recognizing Madhu’s capabilities.
