There are days when history does not wait for you to catch up. Today is one of them. By 8:00 PM Eastern Time tonight (5:30 AM IST Wednesday), either Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz or the United States and Israel bomb its power plants, bridges, and energy infrastructure into...
A long Easter weekend. Four days of silence, rest, and finally some time to watch the films that everyone has been arguing about. Good Friday rolling into Easter Sunday, and abroad — unlike India — Sunday leave spilling into Monday as compensatory time off. That is a workplace culture India...
SHEIN just published a report. 15,000 customers. 21 countries. Branded as a circularity study. The headline finding: their customers are actually quite responsible. They wear clothes 50 times before discarding. They care about price. The problem, SHEIN concludes, is lack of recycling infrastructure. Convenient. Very convenient. Because what the report...
In India, a marriage does not begin at the mandap. It begins long before — in stolen glances across a family gathering, in nervous WhatsApp messages, in the hopeful silence of a rishta meeting.

A Book Published Before India Was Independent. Still Undefeated. Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Let that date sit for a moment. The Great Depression was still grinding through its final years. World War II hadn’t started. Television didn’t exist. India was still a...
Most founders are obsessed with one thing: growth. More users. More revenue. More funding. But here’s the uncomfortable truth — startups rarely die because they didn’t grow fast enough. They die because they weren’t built to handle growth when it arrived. Success doesn’t break you overnight. It exposes everything you...
The Most Uncomfortable Compliment in Business Literature When people describe Poor Charlie’s Almanack, they reach for words that would kill most books in the market. Dense. Demanding.
