Two events happened this year with people close to me 1. A colleague visiting from the US was bitten by a stray dog in Bangalore, and had to stay back a month to recover before he could fly back. Don't think he is ever visiting India again 2. A friend while going to office in his

Crap like this is exactly why social media is dangerous. Everyone writes in such affirmative ways. The wise will never write this way. The wise are likely not even on social media. And hence be careful whom you read or follow

We as a race are creating and collaborating like never before; Bure are we - Healthier? - More at Peace? - More content and fulfilled? - More ourselves?

New product launches should focus on consumer love, not immediate growth targets. Growth will come eventually from the insane consumer love you develop. When you go very hard on delivering growth for a newly launched product, consumer love takes a back seat. Then you push growth

Pune airport to city center for 1st meeting - 20 mins. Next meeting point (12kms away) - 30 mins. From there to airport - 25 mins. Bengaluru airport to city center - 1hr 45 mins. Next meeting point (10 mins away) - 1 hour. From there to airport - 2 hours. #justsaying

Not sure what's happening behind the hoods here, but reading this is just pure energy and inspiration.

Ola's rogue nature just shines through everything now. They will force you to use the postpaid wallet so that they can change an insane late fee. Costumer first is a philosophy that seems lost to them.

When he landed for his driving license appointment at the RTO office, there were ~50 candidates and he was the only one who hadn't come through a driving school. The authorities there were baffled and did not know how to handle the case and called their higher ups (2/n)

My friend in Bangalore decided to get his driving license directly from the RTO, without going through one of the driving schools. He has been driving for 25 years now, and is an ace driver. His previous license was from his home state so he couldn't renew online. Cont (1/n)

Another organisation I know is shifting their 500 member team from Bengaluru to Indore. High time businesses leave Bengaluru for cities that invest in Infrastructure and citizen well being.

Ever since I was young, I always wanted to join the air force but ended up becoming a scientist in ISRO. Today I am also feeling helpless, disgusted sad about the current state of my India. I was offered 10X salaries outside India, but I never wanted to leave. Today understand
