adapting to changes
I am very spontaneous as a person. Despite that spontaneity which allows me to learn and continue to wear multiple hats, I’ve sometimes been resistant to changes. Resistance may not be the best word – I should say that I take time to adjust to changes, especially changes gradually introduced into my routine. I have […]

i love to fail
I have failed at countless things. Somewhere along this journey, trying out multiple things – with sheer curiosity and enthusiasm has become a healthy habit which has taught me to embrace failures.

the myth of statistics
“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” We are living in a data-obsessed world now. Everything we do is rationalised, put on weights with the help of data.

Last month I read a US VC’s post complimenting Indian founders on their “Never Give Up” attitude, he said he is bullish on Indian founders because we are “extremely shameless”. At first, it was hard to think of this statement as a compliment to Indian leaders and founders. Shame has become a toxic cultural by-product […]

i quit my job
I quit my job because I was unhappy. Five years back, in November 2017 – I left my first job because I was unhappy and also because my family needed me back at home. It is a difficult choice to make, to decide and leave someplace – you began calling home just five months back. […]

Is it going to be a Nervous November?
Last evening I read an article about the freshly listed stocks of the start-up world – Nykaa, PolicyBazaar, Delhivery and Paytm. The article reported that these four stocks had lost 19% of their value in the last month, while Sensex & NIFTY indices have grown by 4%. The question of the public market performance of […]

V-Mart’s Growth Story
I have been seeing V-Mart stores popping up in my city, for the past three years. When I read about the recent acquisition of Limeroad by V-Mart, I was curious to learn more about it. V-Mart – the chain of retail clothing stores has been operating for two decades now. Founded in 2003, by Lalit […]
