When a business fails, people love to blame debt. It’s true—debt squeezes the life out of a company. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: debt is rarely the disease. It’s just the final symptom of a much deeper problem. Businesses don’t collapse overnight. They bleed slowly, ignored warning signs pile up,...
In India, billionaires are usually known for their palaces in the sky. Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia became the symbol of wealth, and others follow with glass towers, helipads, and marble mansions. But Anand Mahindra, with nearly $4 billion to his name, lives in something far humbler—Gulistan, a 13,000–square–foot bungalow on Nepean...
When we talk about cars, most of us talk about mileage, EMI, and whether the parking slot can fit it. But then there are those rare few who don’t just buy cars—they collect dreams, stitched together with horsepower and history. Fahadh Faasil just did exactly that, by parking a Ferrari...

Our younger years are fueled by ambition and self-preservation: How can...

But there’s a different breed of work happening in the world today—where the goal is not just profit, but positive change for society and the planet. That’s where social impact projects and social businesses...
Gurugram today is a contradiction in motion. Trash piles up at every corner, rains convert roads into swimming pools, the air is unbreathable, and traffic crawls at bullock-cart speeds. Yet, property rentals and prices are hitting record highs as if people are bidding for space in an open-air prison. But...
⚔️ There Are No Permanent Friends, No Permanent Enemies. Only Permanent Interests. If there’s one brutal truth about geopolitics, it’s this: nations don’t act on love or loyalty—they act on leverage. Yesterday’s ally can become tomorrow’s rival, and the fiercest enemy can suddenly become an indispensable partner. From Hug-Diplomacy to...
When most outsiders think of Onam, they imagine the iconic sadya — 20+ curries, chutneys, payasams, all strictly vegetarian, neatly laid out on a banana leaf. But here’s the shocker: the Onam feast is not uniform across Kerala. In fact, what a Malayali eats for Onam depends entirely on whether...
