Caught in the red ocean trap, Fortis Healthcare's journey teaches us three key lessons.

The Wounded Shark And Its Suitors

Once, there was a big blue ocean; home to many sea creatures big and small. The ocean, with all its immensity and magnificence was a thriving ground for every marine life. There were several aquatic kingdoms that dwelled and flourished in the deep blue. Amongst them, was the prosperous empire of the great shark. His province known to be teeming with riveting flora and fauna was a place that everyone wanted to be. The illustrious shark, was popular for his knack for smart warfare. Many appreciated his greatness but also feared his warfare. He was also acclaimed to be excellent in striking partnerships that helped him to expand his dominion far and wide. Over the years, the glory that the shark attained made him so self-absorbed and proud that he slowly began to ignore his people and province.

One unfortunate day, a ferocious storm hit the ocean. The storm was so mighty that it wiped out many kingdoms. The situation in the deep blue worsened when a huge war broke out. Every creature big and small fought for its survival. The great shark fought fiercely to save his realm, but to his dismay, everything was lost. Everything that was built in several years came crashing down, the beautiful empire was tarnished. He was left wounded and now, he would soon become prey to the hungry sea creatures that loomed around his territory as they have smelt blood.

The shark tries to swim to the other end where he will find help. But the sea is still rough… What will the great shark do to save himself? Will he manage to tide over to the other end and find help? Or will he be hunted by the deadly creatures that await him?

Wondering why was this fairy tale narrated here?
