Debu Mishra
Debu Mishra has spent thirty years advising organisations on workforce strategy across India, the GCC, and Africa - in boardrooms during economic crises, technology transitions, and structural reorganisations. That experience gave him a precise understanding of the gap between what leaders are told and what is actually happening on the ground.
At Deloitte, Mishra set up and led Catalyst for South Asia for over three years - a sensing and innovation function built to identify disruption signals before they became headlines. As a member of the Deloitte Global Editorial Board for Sensing, he spent years developing the discipline of translating weak signals into strategic intelligence for senior leaders across industries and geographies.
Debu was the architect of India's Best Boards Research and Awards - the first deep research and recognition programme on board governance in India, developed in partnership with The Economic Times. The programme set the benchmark for how Indian boards are evaluated on governance, composition, and strategic oversight.
He founded reAImagine.work because that gap is widest right now - and widest in the regions he knows best. The publications covering AI and the world of work are almost entirely written from a Western vantage point. The disruption is landing in Mumbai, Mauritius, Riyadh, Nairobi, and Dubai. The leaders there deserve intelligence calibrated to where they actually are.
The editorial judgment in this magazine is his. The signals are sourced systematically. The interpretation is shaped by three decades of being in those rooms.
