There are books that talk about business — graphs, goals, growth curves — and then there are books that breathe. Gateway to Africa by Prateek Suri does the latter. It doesn’t read like a management lecture; it feels like a long evening conversation with a friend who’s seen failure up close, tasted dust and triumph, and still believes that tomorrow is worth fighting for.When I first picked it up, I...
The first time I cracked open The Carpenter by Jon Gordon, I didn’t expect to be sitting with my coffee and suddenly wondering about the scaffolding of my own life. Not the walls and roofs we so carefully patch and polish for the world to see, but the beams underneath — the ones made of habits, fears, and, sometimes, love. It’s a slim book, deceptively slim, that pretends to be a simple fable but ...
I remember the first time I truly felt the weight of silence — the kind that presses against your chest, makes every whisper feel like a shout, and every shadow a potential conspirator. That’s exactly the feeling Prakash Narayan Shukla conjures in Shadow Strike. From the very first page, I was swept into a world where the most dangerous battles are not fought with guns or bombs, but with subtle gl...
A beautiful and ultimately sad story of a chef who lived in the highest realms of grand cooking. One of two books that I have read on the topic - the other being Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. And he took his own life too. I have on occasion entertained this fantasy of having my own restaurant and cooking for a living. Of planning out my dining room, what the menu might look like and th...

The Bill radically redefines the landscape for gaming and fantasy sports platforms, triggering a ...
I just closed Insightful Inc. by Manish Makhijani and, honestly, it felt like stepping into the mind of a master observer. Have you ever watched a seemingly ordinary scene — a mother choosing a cereal at the store, a commuter navigating traffic — and suddenly realized there’s a whole universe of decisions, emotions, and habits hidden there? That’s the kind of lens Makhijani invites you to wear. Dr...

Been diving into the state of deeptech in India lately, and it’s becoming clear:We’ve overglorified how we reached Mars for less than the cost of a Hollywood movie. And in doing so, we’ve sent the wrong message to builders:Do more with less. Forever.That’s not how deeptech works. It lacks the signal that it’s okay to fail in the pursuit of frontier innovation. Most deeptech is uncertain, long-draw...
