“pp” might be the most common short form on Instagram. It means “price please”. Customers comment pp on posts and expect all the details in their inbox. I was unaware of pp.“Can you share your catalog? We can import it into Querygen.”, I asked my customer.The customer opened their Instagram page. That was the catalog. Every new product was posted as a reel there. Customers were commenting, sending...
Why does a young woman avoid buying a personal product from the family grocer?Why can a Sunday breakfast table in an Indian home look like a tour of the world?And why can a retailer with a deceptively simple business model understand Indian consumers better than companies with far larger resources?These questions are more interesting than they first appear because they point to something businesse...
Why do intelligent people make simple problems complicated?Sometimes because the problem really is complicated.But sometimes because complexity makes us feel that we are doing serious thinking.That distinction stayed with me while reading Mukesh Sud’s Simple Thinking. The book begins with an idea that sounds almost obvious: when we are surrounded by information, opinions and noise, finding a simpl...
Why do organisations find it so easy to add something — and so difficult to remove it?A new process is introduced. A new layer of approval appears. Another product enters the portfolio. Another report is added to the calendar. A system that nobody particularly likes continues to exist because “this is how we have always done it.”And slowly, almost invisibly, complexity becomes normal.That was the ...

Most careers prepare people to do the work. Very few prepare them for the moment when their success depends on helping others do it.That gap sits at the heart of Nikhil Tripathi’s Level 10 Leader. It is a gap familiar to anyone who has watched a high-performing individual contributor become a manager overnight and discover that competence and leadership are not interchangeable skills. The promotio...
There is an old habit in Indian households that rarely gets questioned. When a wedding is being planned, a festival approaches, or a daughter’s future is discussed, someone eventually says, “Let’s go to our jeweller.”Not a jewellery store. Not a brand.Our jeweller.The phrase carries generations of trust, familiarity, and inherited loyalty. It describes a relationship that survived economic upheava...
There is a peculiar irony in modern success. The more ambitious people become, the less likely they are to admit exhaustion. Burnout is discussed openly, yet often worn as a badge of honour. Calendars overflow, notifications multiply, and the ability to remain constantly busy is frequently mistaken for evidence of importance. Somewhere along the way, achievement stopped being a destination and bec...
