From the poorest households to the wealthiest families, gold holds a deep fascination in India. It cuts across income levels, regions, generations, language, and religion, and it is not just a material. It represents security, aspiration, tradition, and trust. But when it comes

I think this needs a bit of nuance. Yes, we can't demand post-industrial perks with pre-industrial productivity. India's per-capita GDP lags far behind. But romanticizing the West's "200-year grind" ignores child labor, 16-hour days, and misery. We have the tech, knowledge, and
I've been observing a strange crisis in India. Strange because the crisis feels like progress. We have more educated people than ever. More startups. More opportunities. By every measure, India's middle class should be rising. But something is off. Last week, I watched a

A massive advantage in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.

The big exodus of Indian talent from Germany is starting. Engineers with 10+years experience in non-IT esp. mechanical are moving back. This is the time for Indian DeepTech & R&D companies to capitalise but they’re too busy playing politics & being insecure to realise their loss.

Most people think Vitamin D is “just a vitamin," and, indeed, it is a vitamin… but this chart shows it behaves more like a hormone (a feature of several vitamins) that controls hundreds of processes in your body. Sunlight hits your skin → your liver rewires the molecule →

Came across the GAN Charger launched by Cuzor. Then I realised I have seen this company previously selling Router UPSs as well. Went on to verify if it is the same company and I realised I had the UPS router in my Amazon wishlist for a while now. Decided to finally give it a

"Nice" leadership avoids conflict, sugarcoats feedback, and prioritizes being liked, which hinders growth. "Kind" leadership is honest, direct, and empathetic. It challenges people to improve while supporting them.
As a founder, I often gets confused on either to be friendly with my team or act like a strict teacher too strict - team feels irritated too friendly - they start taking you lightly & never takes you seriously would love to hear from other founders on, how they balance ?
