I have enjoyed working with you so much over the years and will miss you hugely! I always appreciated your thoughtful approach, commitment to EDI, and your infectious enthusiasm and sense of fun. You always have the brightest smile in a photo or on a call! I wish you the very best for whatever comes next for you - whoever it is will be extremely lucky to have you. Please stay in touch and I hope we'll cross paths in India sometime soon. The people I need to visit on my road trip is growing :)

It's been so good to work with you on all teh various music projects over these past years, you have a passion and energy that makes great things happen and I know you'll continue to carry that with you wherever you go next. I will definitely make an effort to come see you in B'lore/Chennai and until that day comes, wishing you every success with your next adventures!

So sad to lose you as a colleague, but excited to see and hear what you do next. Every conversation with you has always been a pleasure. I will miss the enthusiasm, empathy and beautiful energy that you bring to work. Wishing you all the best for the future!

Take care (and do come to Dhaka)!

I have loved working with you. Your contribution to India–Wales was immense, and so many artists in the UK and India have benefited from your warmth, passion, and humour. I’ve treasured your wisdom and insight, especially in Edinburgh over these past couple of years. We will miss you terribly. Please keep in touch, and very best of luck with whatever comes next.

It's been such a pleasure to work with you over the years. You've always brought a very calm and thoughtful approach, which has been hugely valuable in stressful moments. Thank you for making Language is a Queer Thing such a successful project. Wishing you all the best with your next steps, and do keep in touch. Thank you, Matt (Literature)

Goodbyes are never easy. Even though we worked together briefly it was a pleasure. You will be fondly remembered. Wishing you all the very best in whatever you chose to do next! Keep shining and keep smiling. Cheers Hema

While it is sad to see you leave, I am equally happy and excited for the wonderful opportunities that lie ahead for you. Wishing you all the very best for the journey ahead. Let’s definitely stay connected.

Lots of love and Luck- Jas

The best line manager I’ve had at the British Council so far,

Professional and articulate, your English sets the bar.

Calm under pressure, steady and wise,

Young in energy, yet mature in your replies.

Composed in chaos, thoughtful and clear,

With cultural understanding that draws everyone near.

You connect every strand, keep each activity aligned,

With clarity of vision and a strategic mind.

Based in Bangalore, yet guiding Delhi’s way,

Present in every detail, every single day.

And truly, your name lights the way,

In leadership, in purpose, in all that we do each day.

Above all titles, targets, and plans,

You lead with humanity- and that’s what truly stands.

-------------------

Thanks for all the incredible energy you've put into everything here over such a long time, and I hope you get a chance for some rest and space. Keep in touch and wishing you all the very best of luck for your next steps along your journey.

All the best for your next adventure! It has been wonderful interacting with you as part of the Shadow Board. Your warmth and positivity will be missed. Wishing you every success in what comes next!

What will we do without you!  I hope you’ll be picking up your pens and creating and getting some time for you soon.  You’ve truly transformed our Northern Ireland-India connections over these past years in ways that touched so many incredible artists and audiences.  You’re a shining light - an unshakeable joy and inspiration. Glad we had Edinburgh last summer IRL and hope to welcome you in Belfast some day.  Miss you so much from BC and sending virtual love and hugs til the next time! You are the best! Colette xoxo

I am so sorry that you're leaving. You've been such a wonderful colleague to work with. When I started, the India Wales Year 2024 was already in full swing, and what a joy and privilege it has been to work so closely with you on this in my first year at BC. I've learned a lot from you and I am hugely grateful that we got to spend time together in person in Edinburgh.

I hope this new chapter is full of happiness and positive adventures for you.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, thank you for everything.

Lots of love from Wales,

Elena xxx

While we've rarely met face-to-face I'd like to think we've worked quite closely over the last eight years - enough to make us look back and laugh at the crazy times, the last-minute phone calls to sort out little hitches and of course the conversations as part of the Shadow Board!

Thanks for being a great colleague to work with, for always making your voice heard and doing everything with such great humour!

Have a great future, I look forward to seeing you shine brighter.

All the best,

Shonali
