Does anybody believe this?

Earlier in the day today, I saw a man, child in arm, talking to a friend, outside church, where I was minding my daughter. A quick disclaimer: I'm not the church going kinds. I baby sit while my devout wife attends to her Sunday rituals. There was a Bloomberg logo as well on the side. Does anybody have a clue what this is all about?

As for whether or not honest businesses exist in India, that is a contentious subject. I don't think any black or white answers exist.

On the back of my various conversations with various entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and some very idealistic young people in politics over the last week,  I can assure you there is room for honesty. And yes, people are giving it a bloody hard shot. I intend to chronicle some of their stories in the weeks and months to come. Until then, if there is an interesting idea or person you come across, do drop me a line with a pointer. I'm keen to hear of them and follow it up with stories on what makes them tick.

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.
