Kunal Shah is a controversial personality. I can say so based on my personal experience. Once I criticized him on Twitter and then he sent me DMs on Twitter and started arguing with me and psycho-analyzing me. I realized at that time that he is deeply insecure and vulnerable inside. Or he considers others as... Continue Reading →

Nandan Nilekani on Aadhaar and Digital Public Infrastructure
When I started my career with Infosys more than 22 years ago, the most influential person at Infosys for me was Mr N R Narayana Murthy (NRN).

The Seen and The Unseen: Episode #352 with Harsh Vardhan
One of my favourite podcasts is Amit Varma's The Seen and The Unseen. Though the episodes are way too long (usually 3 hrs long, but sometimes extending to 5-6 even 8 hours!), they are always valuable and enjoyable in parts. One such episode I liked and thought of sharing here was that with Harsh Vardhan.... Continue Reading →

Everything is Everything – How to think about Cricket (and Life)
The latest episode of Everything is Everything podcast is really interesting! It's titled "How to think about Cricket (and Life). Interesting insights on statistics and sports analytics; however, one thing which I think was missed out was that the game of cricket has become pro-batters (I prefer batsmen, the old moniker, but trying to change...
