Shrinivas Dempo: MORE POWER COMES WITH MORE RESPONSIBILITY
Incredible Goa|September 2023
In the realm of power and influence, one often finds that it is accompanied by an equal measure of responsibility. This truism holds especially true in the case of Shrinivas Dempo, affectionately known as "Baba" by those who hold him dear. Hailing from a background of affluence and privilege, Baba is a beacon of humility and remains firmly grounded. Baba is the torchbearer of the illustrious Dempo legacy, which was established by his great-grandfather, Shri Shrinivasa Shenai Dempo, during the Portuguese regime in Goa. Today, he carries the mantle with grace and distinction, having assumed the role of the first third-generation president of the Goa Chamber of Commerce-a position of profound significance within Goa's business landscape, where the chamber plays a pivotal role in shaping state policies.
Shrinivas Dempo: MORE POWER COMES WITH MORE RESPONSIBILITY

After a long-awaited opportunity, I finally had the chance to interview Baba and delve into his life journey. We discussed his journey, from a young and curious child to his formative college years, and ultimately, to his ascent as the head honcho of the esteemed Dempo Group of Companies, is a narrative that resonates with inspiration and purpose. Here are the insightful excerpts from my conversation with Baba, a man whose story is as captivating as it is enlightening.

When I asked him about his recent appointment as the third-generation president of one of God's premier business associations, a position previously held by both his father and grandfather, Baba responded with characteristic humility. "I am deeply humbled to be part of the third generation representing one of Goa's most influential business communities. This chamber boasts a rich legacy spanning a hundred and fifteen years, and I view my role here not merely as a privilege but as a profound responsibility. What is truly remarkable is the unanimous support I received from the association members, who elected me unopposed. It is not just the absence of competition that matters; rather, it's the profound faith and trust they have placed in me that elevates this responsibility to a higher plane," he said and continued, emphasizing the vital role of the chamber in addressing the myriad challenges faced by businesspeople. "In the lives of business leaders, there are numerous issues that warrant attention, and they turn to the chamber for effective policy advocacy to address these concerns I foresee the next two years as a period of immense learning and a thrilling roller coaster ride for me. I am fully committed to giving my very best to the chamber. This entails organizing impactful events, and engaging in constructive dialogue with governmental bodies to implement innovative policies that will benefit our business community."
