  • For creating some of the best global CEOs of today, you do need to thank Indian parenting especially the Indian mothers of a specific era.

    There is no denying the fact that, whether it is Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, along with the top bosses of IBM, Adobe, Palo Alto Networks, VMWare, Twitter and Vimeo, they all have one thing in common, and that is, they are all of Indian descent.

  • The Collective Reality

    Our conscious experience is a part of reality. According to integrated information theory, consciousness is a fundamental aspect of reality. In other words, it exists and is structured, specific, unified and definite.  Simply put, consciousness could very likely emerge when information moves between the subsystems of an overall system. So therefore, to be conscious, an entity has

  • The existing gaps in how we measure productivity and economic activities: Time for us to acknowledge that being a parent is one of the toughest profession

    At times I do wish I could sit down with both my parents and reflect on my journey so far, but I am afraid I can’t do that because I lost them both few years ago. So now I keep them in my imagination, where I tend to keep most of my precious things. I

  • The collapse

    Nature is the largest investor in all of us, making it one of our key shareholders alongside us and our parents. And nature has equally invested itself in all what it has created, not just us humans. The collective value of what nature has created is immeasurable, and it’s economic value is also immense. Take

  • A line of enquiry: Where do you think you belong ?

    Based on our current understanding of the big picture, the consensus view is that the story of modern humans journey started in Africa some 200,000 years ago. And modern humans most likely evolved from their common ancestor, Homo erectus, which literally means ‘upright man’ in Latin.

  • The Indian COVID Crisis – Fighting a good fight by uniting a divided society

    A country like India badly needs an integrated medicine infrastructure to help fix it healthcare. For example, there is just one doctor for every 1,457 people based on the most updated population figure of 1.35 billion people, and obviously this ratio is much lower than WHO’s acceptable norm of 1:1000. And according to ministry of health

  • Destiny, fate and people: It is ideas that shape a human society

    There are many variables and variations of permutations, combinations, probability and chances that influences a human living and the journey at large. And even the most brilliant human minds aren’t capable of developing a comprehensive understanding of the absolute truth. I do wonder if there is such a thing called absolute truth ? We know

The governments have had to bailout out the economy, because of the economic shock coming from the lockdown measures put in place to protect the healthcare systems and the society at large.

  • The Class of 2020

    Recently a dear friend of mine, who is a professor at a business school asked me to share a few words with his class over a zoom call. Initially, I was a bit reluctant, and that’s mainly because I have always felt that, I am the least qualified person to offer any advice to anyone
