Hello Friend,

This email is not easy for me to write.
But it’s important. And personal.

12,000+ employees. Gone.

Yes, TCS — the company known for lifetime job security — just laid off over 12,000 people in one of the most silent but significant workforce shifts of 2025.

And no, this isn’t just about TCS.

This is about every professional who still believes that loyalty and “good performance” alone are enough to stay relevant.

But the truth is — the job market is evolving fast. And companies are now looking for a completely different kind of talent.

They want professionals who bring the right skills, can work in agile models, show visible impact, and deliver clear ROI — not just stay on the bench.

Let me break that down for you.

1- When companies talk about Skill Match, they’re asking:
“Are your skills aligned with what the future needs?”
That’s Intellectual Capital.

2- When they look for Future-Ready Talent, they mean:
“Are you mentally strong, adaptable, and ready to lead change?”
That’s Human Capital — both mental (mindset, ownership) and physical (energy, presence).

3- When they demand Productivity and Visibility, what they’re really asking is:“Can you create value — and are you seen doing it?”
That’s where your Branding and Executive Presence matter.

4- When they expect Agility, Communication, and Collaboration, they’re screening for:
“Can you work in fast teams, communicate clearly, and adapt fast?”
That’s your Soft Skills and Relationship Capital.

5- And when they evaluate Cost-to-Value Clarity, they’re essentially saying:
“Are you worth what we pay you?”
That’s where your Financial Capital and leverage come in — your ability to multiply value, not just log hours.

Now the question is —

Are you actively building these 5 Capitals?

You joined this community to build your brand and attract better opportunities.

But have you shown up fully yet?

✅ Are you building visibility and trust in the market?
✅ Are you learning how to communicate, lead, and influence?
✅ Are you upgrading your mindset — or just collecting information?

Because if not, then you’re not preparing. You’re postponing.

And in this new market, that’s the most expensive mistake you can make.

👉 If you're new in CBH — stay committed, stay consistent.

And if you've been here a while — take a moment to look within and ask: Have I truly moved forward, or just been circling in preparation?

To your Brand's Success
