What reveals a leader’s true strength: success or the courage to admit a mistake? Ranjan Banerjee, Founding Dean, BITSoM and Vice Chancellor and Professor at Nayanta University, takes the #TEDxBITSoM stage to share the powerful story behind an apology that transformed not just an institution but also his understanding of leadership itself. 

Through heartfelt reflections on trust, transparency, and the responsibility leaders hold toward their people, he revisits a moment when he chose humility over hierarchy and vulnerability over authority. What began as an apology to 240 students became a lifelong lesson in empathy, accountability, and the quiet power of authenticity.
