    I was happy to be featured among 40 poets from India in The Punch magazine’s annual Poetry issue in January 2022. They renewed the honour this year by including my work among those of 40 poets from around the world in their annual poetry issue yet again. Deeply honoured, sharing the space with poets whose…

    Two winged fork

    I keep creating paths for myself. This time, I have created a fork in that path. A two-winged fork. Whichever deserves me more will get me. I don’t decide here. Fate decides. My choice was in creating the path, then building options. Rest is beyond the pale of my efforts. I will as always go…

    A bit of a fuzzy weekend

    Despite all the disappointments life throws, today has been a happy house. 97 percentile in GL exams for the grammar schools and an equivalent score for the AQE in the house today. If nothing, the child is in the house is a rockstar. All within months of arriving in a new country, new city. When…

    Leadership isn’t …

    Leadership needs action, empathy and going the extra mile to ensure your team feels supported. It also means recognising individual talents on the team and hone them to deliver their best instead of trying to fit anyone into a mould. Leadership means being proactive and taking ownership of projects, being responsible, and informed about choices…

    Being Rabindranath Tagore

    Being Rabindranath Tagore

    New post on EconHistorienne @Substack. I keep thinking about the Nobel for Rabindranath Tagore, India’s literary genius who was the first ever Indian to do so for literature and remains the only one so far. How did Tagore get noticed by the Nobel committee? Winning a Nobel requires genius and pathbreaking work, surely. But nominations…

    Business history needs investigative rigour of a journalist

    I know, many academics might squirm to hear of journalism beacuse while everyone yearns for the reach and influence journalism offers, many are quick to dismiss journalists’ work and the field altogether.

    Bumper Diwali for British Indians

    Bumper Diwali for British Indians

    As soon as Rishi Sunak was back in the race to be Britain’s next prime minister after a difficult, arduous season of political scandals and mudslinging, Sunak’s religion and roots were back in focus. While all the other adjectives alluding to his immigrant, brown, South Asian roots are in order, the moniker some sections of the British…

    In defense of diversity

    In defense of diversity

    Only speaking from experience, and not generalising for anyone. Firms are increasingly hiring professionals from varied backgrounds, not just for diversity but for breaking down silos and assimilating a diversity of experiences and skills into the organisation to make it better.Law firms for instance. When graduating from the LSE seven years ago, I applied to…

    75 years of Indian business: How we began and how far we have come

    75 years of Indian business: How we began and how far we have come

    I must begin with a clarification: the history of Indian business is not as young as India as an independent nation. It goes back several centuries before India opened up its economy in the 1990s, even before it became an independent country. The 1990s were not the first time the Indian economy was open to…

    Indian values are a cornerstone of Rishi Sunak’s bid to be the UK’s next prime minister

    The super wealthy politician, now in the running to be leader of the Conservative Party and the UK’s next prime minister, could embrace a few life lessons from father-in-law N.R. Narayana Murthy’s life.

    The world owes many debts to Boris Franz Becker

    It’s true these are the worst of times for Boris Becker, now visibly condemned by both his country of birth and his country of residence. But will it be all it takes to erase a historic legacy?
