Why My Best Work Happens When Everyone Else Is Resting
From my undergrad days to my startup years, weekends have always been when I do my best work. While most people are busy with their personal lives, I’ve carved out that quiet space to dive deep into projects that truly matter to me. Balancing Work and Fun That doesn’t mean I don’t have fun. I’m in fun mode from Monday to Friday. Most of my close friends know this well. I make weekdays exciting with work, evening chats, small dinners, and time spent with people I value. By Fri

From Startup Struggles to Data-Driven Clarity: My Journey into Business Analytics
When I was running my startup, one of my biggest challenges was handling day-to-day operations. Tracking processes, managing inventories, and creating MIS reports every quarter for myself and my board members often felt overwhelming. Dealing with large volumes of data became a daunting task. Those experiences taught me the true importance of data. I learned how it drives revenue, how finance is built around it, and how every data point translates into tangible outcomes. Disco

Relearning, Reinventing, and Rising: My Career Story Across Engineering and Analytics
I started my career as a civil engineer , even earning a Chartered Civil Engineer license early on. However, during my university days I discovered a passion for technology and innovation that set me on a unique path. I led a student team in building custom UAVs (drones) for international competitions – we even took our micro drone to a global aero-design contest in Texas. This experience showed me how automation and aerial vehicles could revolutionize traditional civil en

From Startup CEO to Starting Over: A Year of Growth!!!
One Year of Transformation: Restarting the Journey You know that moment when life takes an unexpected turn? That's where my 2024 story begins. A year ago, I made what felt like the scariest decision of my life - stepping away from my startup in India to pursue a new chapter in the United States. Talk about a plot twist! The transition hit hard. Gone were the days of back-to-back meetings and the constant hustle of startup life. But here's the thing - sometimes you need to pre

The Warrior’s Path: Embracing Truth in Life’s Journey
Life is a vast, complex journey where we constantly encounter choices between right and wrong. From the moment we enter this world, the idea of living with integrity and truth becomes a guiding light for many of us. This pursuit of righteousness is not just a goal but a lifelong commitment to doing what is right, even when the path is unclear. As children, we naturally lean toward what we believe is right. We are taught to be truthful and kind, to follow a path that aligns wi

Choosing Happiness: Life's Influences and Decisions
I am at a stage where I've realized that many of the things that have been bothering me no longer bother me. The regrets I thought I might have no longer remain as regrets. Naturally, a strong purpose for performing certain acts has been generated in my journey from childhood. This has happened because of various good factors influenced by society and the people I am surrounded by. However, among the good were also the bad influences that occurred in my life. I wish to share

Death & Time!!!
There were three events that led me to the conclusion that timing is key, and that taking the appropriate action at the right time can have a profound effect on the outcome. It's not necessarily ingrained in me that we have a certain amount of time on Earth. This is about three people who passed away and their influence on my life. My grandfather was the first. He died while I was studying at my PU. This was the first death in my family that I was old enough to mourn. It was

Being with the Right Company
I have been more of a forethinker about life since my childhood. I still remember my 7th grade, owning a small dairy which my father would get me each year from his several suppliers in the industry. My father was in the construction business, and so I'd always get a diary with a lot of quantitative matrices and numbers. I vividly recall how my diary was a smart book that contained measurements in terms of distance, time, and weight. Overwhelmed with all these numbers and met

Understanding the 90-10 rule in team building
I had to relocate to a new home. It was a tiresome week since I had to shift a ton of stuff from my old apartment to my new space. The entire week was piled up with some strenuous moving, company affairs, and some of my chores that I barely found the time to take a breath of relief. The week took longer than I thought, but I was finally glad to wake up in the morning on Saturday. I knew I had a pile of clothes lined up for laundry, and so the first thing I did that morning (e

Does Success really exist?
It was a sunny morning on a weekday, and the birds were chirpier than ever. The pandemic lockdown was about to begin for the year 2021, and with the clock ticking past 6 a.m, I knew it was a good time to sip on some good coffee. The morning view I get to see each day is pure bliss, and to add to the splendid scenery, some magnificent coffee is what sets my perfect morning. Coffee helps me observe, think, reflect, and simply sip on some more coffee while I read. I enjoy catchi

A mix of Life and Friendship
Growing through the 20s can be hard. We have a lot to think about, a lot to process, and a lot more to decide. Friendship is one of the most prized associations humans share with their kin. From having a fair share of scolding for getting our clothes messy in a sandpit to sleeping in excitement the night before school begins, we've all filled our young lives with innocent, happy memories that we will always cherish. A life of free-spirited energy, no judgment, and no control

Lessons from the Flutters in my Stomach
The ultimate purpose of a relationship is to contribute to each other's success. Eventually, that's what sets our minds at ease. Humans are the smartest yet unpredictable beings that have ever existed. With time, we heal, grow, and journey through life-changing phases in this one-shot, at the life we have. Our manifold capabilities make us highly intelligent and unique, but the thing that I firmly believe sets our roots on to someone/something and keeps us going is L ove an

Stand out Unique
Undeniably, it is a fact that we are all unique because of the memories and differences we share. The idea of creating experiences that are positive and make a lasting impact is something that drives a diverse society, and I think that is beautiful. "Everyone is Unique, Independent, and Valued based on the foundation of their ingrained worth. Finding flaws in someone is yet another flaw but innate in nature—so what if we changed this innate trait into something that sees the
