In 2015, I took a sabbatical from a plum role at @PUMA that unintentionally lasted 2 long years. While I eventually landed in a fulfilling role at @Discovery in 2018, lessons from that long break gave me the courage & self-belief to set out on my own in 2022. (1/6) 🧵

It's uncanny how it rains every Janmashthmi in Bombay.

You'll find yourself when you create something from scratch. I had the same feeling when I had written my first book. It was an inward discovery at the end of it.

The universe gives you exactly what you want. Amen.

Life's too short for bad books but long enough for bad movies.

Dhurandhar is a 10 on 10 film. Part 1 was 8/10. Part 2 a solid 2/10.

I read in passing somewhere yesterday that India has risen from 118 to 116 in the Happiness Index last year. People truly underestimated the role of a fully completed, operational Andheri East-West flyover on the collective happiness of our people.

Yo @TennisTV - how about we do something abut this app of yours?

Not a flex or a signal. And I am sure this will be an unpopular opinion here. But if you're a Founder, you'll love working, when no else is working; when others are sleeping or glued to a semi-final! Your default mode will be that "9-9-6" is table stakes.

Don’t post on @X @XCorpIndia today if you aren’t at the India AI Summit. All I am here for, is to dip into the algorithm by mentioning @OfficialINDIAai Summit 2026 twice, in this post. You can come back here to see if lazy hacks like these work. You’re welcome!

This is just to say that last three days, I haven’t had an opportunity to be at the India AI Summit. And I am grateful for it.

I don’t get the nuances of airport infra planning at all. Bombay has three airports now. Yet, (it feels like it for sure) lines have gotten longer at both T1 and T2 in the last three months. This isn’t even peak season. What’s cooking?

A startup is generally speaking a series of decisions to made with improbably low odds, which if timed with certain tailwinds, can prove to be great value for the world.

If you are one of those who stupidly believe that Mondays should begin with a legs workout, where you are absolutely maxing out and killing yourself, so that you can have a great week, please know that yours truly is equally infatuated with that notion!

This was the point of the tournament. That’s multiple winners in a 10 second clip.

You should always poke the lion. In most cases, you'll get eaten but in some cases, you'll realise you're the lion.

Niece: You're a good writer. Me: I know. I never made money via writing.

Why try to be extra cute with this music when someone exits in 1:1 calls @SlackHQ Just end the call - damn it!

The credit isn’t in the ascent. It’s to dig the road to tread on.

Bandra - very naughty this Christmas. No chicken puffs available at Venus Bakery at 1030 am!
