Indu Mayilsamy

Sorrow fills our hearts this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep and personal. Indu has silently closed the door of life and departed from us. Our lives will be empty in the areas that she had brightened for us. Indu always believed in "The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive." In one word, Indu was a woman who gave. She gave much to her work. Here was a life that demand notice….a life that exemplified brilliance…a life that inspired emulation…a life that burned so that others' paths were lit. I have known Indu since last many years, majorly worked with her since last 2 years when Indu joined the Damco as Head of FIN for Middle East. Indu was a strategic thinker, a visionary who was brilliant, innovative and creative. Indu was deeply always concerned with improving the results of our company and she was very keen to innovate with various ideas every time whenever I spoke to her during my one:one conversation on weekly basis. Indu was living proof of how fine a person can be. She was a good manager to the people in her charge ( always thinking of their continuous development), a loving wife to her husband, and a devoted mother to her children. She was also a good friend to many of us and a great colleague. The character of the life she lived might be summed up in a few words: she was sincere, she was earnest, she was loyal. I remember many instances when she said that Puneet I want my kids to live with me ( her kids were studying in India with her parents when she and her husband was in Dubai working). Because of this, she took major step to move to CPH so that kids can stay with her, finally her dream was about to come to true of working in Head quarters as well. She gave energy, commitment and inspiration to his staff and to others with whom she worked. The Indu I remember was a happy Indu, one who not only was cheerful in herself but who gave much cheerfulness to others. She had a beautiful smile, a great sense of humour and a gentle demeanour. Indu was bright, logical and very systematic in her thinking. She was always willing to share her ideas and information. We always remember her coming out of box ideas during our weekly team meetings. Many of us found her to be a splendid person of great intellect and big heart. In her career she worked with passion, integrity and full of energy. By her death all the people who knew her will miss a highly intelligent, vibrant individual with a rare friendliness and charm of personality. Indu was a genuinely warm and wonderful individual-one we will miss greatly. Our sorrow is lessened only slightly with the comforting thought that we had the privilege to know her. Indu' s Children Guru and Ramya and her family members, colleagues and friends- our hearts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. It is not the years in a life that counts; it is the life in the years." Ladies and Gentlemen, Indu lived. We will all miss her. Goodbye, Indu
