"Google, Apple, Twitter, IBM - values I admired the most working for these iconic brands!"

Today, I met the Head of AI of a large enterprise. He said, “I believe in building beautiful AI.”. I asked, “What does that mean?”. He paused, then said:.“AI that doesn’t threaten, but empowers. That doesn’t replace, but uplifts. That doesn’t intrude, but understands.”. And

It’s frustrating to do an awkward hand-waving rain dance to get the staff’s attention in the midst of a business meeting. Such a relief to have this discreet, nicely designed call button. At Shangri La’s lobby lounge. But should be mandatory everywhere. Little things matter.

The X-CEO has quit,.Or shall we say it's an X-it?.With Musk's patience famously short,.Running X must be an X-treme sport!.

I love @TheEconomist for many reasons - one of which is their brilliant headlines.

I was a fan of Andy Grove’s Only the Paranoid Survive, till I realized he was only dramatizing to make a point. He didn’t quite mean paranoia, at least not the anxious, sleepless kind. My best decisions haven’t come from fear, instead they came when I freed myself from it.

The Hidden Premium of Entrepreneurship. After becoming an entrepreneur, one thing hit me with absolute clarity: there’s a hidden premium we rarely factor into traditional job - the freedom to do things you actually care about, on your own time. In a job, you’re often caught in.

AI is funny. You can be slow as hell writing your instructions in the box, and it’ll still be prompt.

Money gives you freedom. Interests give you direction. Values give you meaning. A well-lived life needs all three. Agree?.

I love exploring different art forms from around the world - even when I don’t understand the language. But I’ll admit, one art form that has never ever clicked for me is opera. It all tends to sound the same and doesn't stir anything in me. I’m genuinely curious: what is it

I am a huge Queen fan - yes, that's me showing off my precious personally signed original Queen record! . And I clearly remember the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody. My first thought was - "Wait, how is this even a song?". It sounded like an opera. Then a rock anthem. Then a

Many of us began our social media journeys somewhere between 2007 and 2011. Back then, somehow it felt truly social - we exchanged ideas and banter. We even turned to the network for saving lives in disasters like the Kashmir floods. It was messy, real, and useful. But.

Not Excel. Not PowerPoint. The real productivity hack of our times is Google Maps. It’s practically doubled our lifespan by saving us hours of getting lost and arguing over directions. What a blessing for productivity and sanity!.

The witty replies are turning this thread into a nostalgic ode to the Humara Bajaj days - when scooters weren’t just machines, they were family members. They had their own language: dhakka maar, thoda jhukao, choke de, and of course, laat maar. Funny how we forget what we had.

Has anyone told the British engineers they need to tilt the F-35?

When Mr. Narayana Murthy said “work 70 hours a week,” no one told Soham Parekh he meant at the same job.

Its so hot in France they've closed down the Eiffel Tower. Tourists went to Paris for haute couture. Now they go for hot co-tour.

I just picked up this giant Lonely Planet ‘Travel Book’ after ages. That’s when it struck me that the magic of this book or any encyclopedia was in the sheer serendipity of it. You could flip to any page and stumble upon a completely random fact unrelated to anything in your

Thanks to those who reached out here and on LinkedIn. A few slots left for 24th and 25th.

A Cautionary AI Tale (with Financial Consequences). I asked AI a simple question: “What’s the tax implication on my US investment dividends?”. It confidently replied: “While the tax is 30%, Singapore and the US have a tax treaty - so you’ll only be taxed 15%.” (I pay my taxes in.
