HOPE
Since March, life has changed for the complete world and I am no exception to this. As an entrepreneur, it has been a humbling experience to live without much progress in what I do and convincing potential clients to adapt our technology has become even more tougher. Each day, I start with a HOPE that today things are going to…
The Third Option
As individuals we always have 2 options in life- To do or Not to do. But have you any time considered the third options which exists?

Should you sell in person or virtually?
This morning, a good friend of mine and I were having a conversation on the phone and he started to scold me. Literally! He does that with brotherly love though.

The power of being unreasonable
There is one thing which I learned in the last ten years, being unreasonable. Even if it is not in the preview, often people go out of the way and respond to you when you ask.

the discipline of freedom
We all want freedom. Freedom from rules and regulations, freedom from family, freedom from teachers, freedom from friends, freedom from everything. But what is freedom? Is it only attributed to what and how we want? Freedom is an attribute of mind. The mind needs to have its control over all what is happening around us and that is what the…
Thinking as a function
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. Henry Ford Times are changing. Even though you have the brightest of the ideas, investors and consumers are looking at the fact that it is not about only solving the problem, but reaching the consumers. As entrepreneurs, we need to embrace the…
