In life, being rich or looking like you’re rich is an age-old paradoxical choice. The richness I’m talking is not just about financial or economic well being. Along with that, our emotional well being, social values, education, satisfaction in our profession or even the number of true friends we have – we could either be…

I was reading a note on enhancing our neural functional ability as a human. Something which helps us to become more calm, mindful, decisive and into supreme learner mode. We know that our brain functions as two hemispheres and our right part of the body is controlled by the left hemisphere and vice versa. On…

Lee Kuan Yew, popularly known as LKY, is the founding father of modern Singapore. One of the smallest but most developed economies in Asia. British colonialism followed by Japanese invasion – the first half of the 20th century wasn’t that incredible for a tiny nation like Singapore which has no natural resource to export. Under…

The other day I was watching a much-awaited Indiananthology series (of Tamil language) on Netflix.

Two days back I happened to notice a statement from an Indian actor (of Malayalam language movies) which haunted me! He said: When we meet new people in life, we ask them “what do you do”. Mostly we ask this to decide (at least subconsciously) how much respect we should give to that person! I…

Over 3 years back, I had an executive assistant. He performed extremely well in the interview, which made me choose him to be my EA. He told me that he likes business development and strategy, especially in the media and entertainment industry which made him choose that. An EA must be very flexible, especially when…

Our video content (CAT Productions) has been the spear edge of some successful fundraising campaigns for startups in India and abroad in the last 5-6 years. The other day a startup co-founder pinged me to discuss the fundraising campaign he’s planning. Actually, this particular startup and their product is mind-blowing. They create shoes and footwear…
