Stay calm, assess the situation, gather relevant data, consult experts, weigh options, prioritize key actions, and adapt swiftly as needed.

1. Stay Calm 2. Gather as much related information as possible within the time 3. Weigh your options 4. Prioritize key action 5. Adapt to your decision

Adaptability and quick decision-making are essential when a crisis strikes. Evaluate the circumstances rapidly but do not descend into analysis paralysis; sometimes, action can be taken with insufficient information. Set priorities - high-impact solutions that stabilize the circumstances. Communicate consistently and openly to promote trust and ensure alignment. Use diverse perspectives from your team in innovative solutions, but be agile if required. After the problem is reduced to a manageable size, understand it to prevent recurrence.

A crisis isn’t chaos, it’s a time to step up and show your leadership. At Biconomy, handling 38 million transactions came with challenges like sudden Ethereum updates or new Standards. I quickly assessed the facts, focused on the key fixes, and gave the team clear instructions to act fast and stay on point. At Polytrade, crises came from CeDeFi’s unknowns. When there’s no roadmap, you have to build one. I kept communication clear, made decisions quickly, and made sure everyone stayed aligned. A crisis isn’t just a problem, it’s a chance to show resilience, lead with clarity, and create progress from uncertainty.

Being calm and have a Strong communication is the key. Its important to calmly assess the situation, understand the root cause, identify the right stakeholders and deliver the right and to the point communications.
