Do you have to go today?

Shut the eyes, and listen to Farida Khanum sing this.

How can anyone sing as beautifully as this? And how can anybody write lyrics that can go through stone?

about me

I am a co-founder at Founding Fuel, a media and learning platform and co-author of The Aadhaar Effect: Why The World’s Largest Identity Project Matters.

The Polestar Award and Madhu Valluri Awards back my work up.

I am a columnist at Hindustan Times as well. My bylines have appeared at places such as Shaastra from IIT Madras and peer-reviewed journals like ACM that computing professionals look up to.

In earlier assignments, I worked as Managing Editor to set up the India edition of Forbes and as National Business Editor at Times of India.

Then there are my ‘teach- writing’ gigs which is much fun. Doing that with undergrads at St Xaviers College, Mumbai that is one bucket which offers much joy. And then there’s coaching thought leaders in the C-Suite that’s another bucket and is an altogether different ball game. It’s both challenging and sobering.

If you’ve wrapped your head around the idea that writing is a lifeskill, connect with me.
