switch
I got to know the last day that one of our early adopters is moving on. We got sad because he was there with us from day zero. Our second cheque came from his organization. He was there with us when no one believed in us. The market I am in, there is a constant …
Growth
One matric which I consider for growth is how people in my team are growing and how they are maturing and getting ready to fill in our shoe. We had a good discussion with one of our early hires, the feedback we received as a founder was an eye-opener. I see growth as my team …
The Impressionists
I was watching the documentary and got to learn about: The Impressionists. A half a dozen of misfits going against odds and creating a new style of painting. Most of them were poor and; not part of the existing elite and, selling their artwork via Salon was not an option. The Impressionists came up with …

We moved to live in a bucket and society construct. Our identity got associated with the family we were born, caste/social status …
History
“History Is Written by the Victors,”: Winston Churchill. That is why all his atrocities towards Indians got less attention than all his greatness. Does our history has any truth? How much do we know about the past? Artists, painters were commissioned to sing laurels, brevity. There was an exchange of money to write, paint. How …
Star Trek
I am watching Star Trek again. My founders at Minio introduced me to it. Start Trek is not limited to space exploration, intergalactic expedition but; full of philosophy, leadership, and co-existence. It makes you think about our co-existence, challenges, and opportunity. The author was ahead of our time. Most of the devices used in the …
