  In my shared journeys to grow clientele, a delivery team has always played a vital role in winning a deal. It was a peculiar case where it took 3 long years for a client to consider to us aboard. Every time it felt that we are winning and lost at the very nearing last round. I always believed that one day, we’ll win. I had this confidence as I always responded with right proposals on time and received equally positive response until, we lost at the end.   In this first year, I sought support from one of our technology team who had both domain expertise and technical know-how. On the D-day when we were to qualify the technical round, we had the presentation ready. As the delivery person accompanying me was a veteran, he even had 2-3 copies of ppt slides printed in case external device or presentations are not allowed in client’s premise. Our faces fell together when post presentation, the client asked doubt on a specific business case. My learned colleague didn’t have an ...

 Once I met a Baba From an early age, In India, we are taught and sometime forced to believe in God. The God has manifested itself as Baba/saint with different voices of businesses. Perhaps the God’s business is the best one to start with as a Start-up. If you have no money, think smart, instead of begging for alms become God’s avatar for your disciples to throw it on you in crowd. No taxes, no valuation and here you go to live filthy rich life with heads bowing in rows. I despise the very memory of Nithyananda’s visit to our college. We were pushed to pay certain amount for this event from our paltry monthly pocket money. He never turned up on a pretext of personal exigency. Albeit, made sure to send his preachers. We sucked up on the sanctity of those wretched creatures for hours together, praying for it to end. Like a discotheque, they made us jump and dance speaking gibberish with closed eyes. It was complete madness and fun. At the end, the worst was to bend on the kne...

 Comics on the go Our worlds are so small. When we rewind the wires accumulated, a point is reached so soon where it began in the first place. In the northern part of India, many years ago, people mainly conversed in Hindi. Many of us were not conversant in English. In early 90’s, kids weren’t online. Watching TV was limited to few hours a day. Scrutinized kids shows were the only ones allowed to watch after finishing the day’s homework from school. Scorching sun forbade from playing in the afternoon. That was the time when we exchanged and read cartons of comics. Comics with big images of the so called superheroes and a thin write up on storyline or dialogues.   You name them, I have read them somewhere sometime. Few famous ones where Chacha Chaudhary – his brain runs faster than computer, Nagraj – Snake King, Shaktiman - Superman, Pinky the menace. All these characters were part of Indian comic era. There were few rare ones – Archies. I had a collection of them in cartons. A...
