- After a long time, a story i did is making me feeling gud. I travelled to Ranchi which is trying to attract garment exporters. Right moves hav brought gud change The story appears tomorrow in @Magazine_ET. @smritiirani @nsitharaman @narendramodi @amitabhk87 Here's my thread:
- Here's one of d most complex & nuanced story I hav done. With BREAKING NEWs setting agenda so often, we miss deeper more complex shifts around us. My UP story is 1 of them. B4 reacting i urge u to read it 1st. THREAD 1/n @EconomicTimes @myogiadityanath
- Am transcribing my interview with #KailashNadh at #Zerodha. I have to confess. Among 500 odd people i have met in #Bangalore, he stands out as a techie & a human. He is a big reason why Zerodha is where it is. We need more like him in this world. @UnboxingBlr #Bengaluru #startup
- Replying to @GoyalMaliniLet me tell you how this story began. Early this year talking to a Gr Noida-based entrepreneur, he mentioned in passing about his ‘such a pleasant experience’ in UP. Money owed to him came into his A/C without any follow-up or payment. An ex-IAS officer, it was a surprise. 2/N
- Some mornings are perfect. Like today! A good sleep, a great workout, a rushed bfast. And then i meet #Uber driver Syed. We strike up a convo. Showing off his son & daughter's marks he tells me they r headed to UK for MBA with edn loan. 😊 @UnboxingBlr #Bangalore #startup #tech
- Ladies & Gentlemen, presenting to you @UnboxingBlr. An ambitious initiative that will capture the hustle & vibe that makes #Bangalore so special. This is #TheCityofNewBeginnings. For many of us in #BLR, in #Karnataka, in #India & yes for #Technology world too. A thread /1
- A personal update. My golden handcuffs r gone. GBye @EconomicTimes. Hello world! Time to move on, explore new areas & try new things. This began in 1994. It took me to ET @theindiatoday @forbes_india. Its time 2 reboot. I'm pivoting. Excited abt what awaits..a quick snapshot 1/n
- Mom, Millennial & Lockdown: my story. A Thread. But bfr that here’s what my son- not strictly a millennial (he is 21) but close -released this week. youtu.be/gJl5XAaBXRg - a hip hop on Covid Pandemic. 1st release of a budding musician. Its been quite a journey. Flashback.1/n
- Replying to @GoyalMalini @Magazine_ET and 5 othersLife is much better in tier2 city. Rajesh Chauhan moved frm NCR 2 #Ranchi 2 steer OrientCraft's modern new plant. His expenses r down by Rs 50000. 3hr daily commute is now 2 min walk. Life's much better-clean air,gud weather, club membership affordable. He wants 2 settle here 3/n
- A long & beautiful evening with @MotwaniSuhas talking about products, #startup, #blr #bengaluru, community building & lot more. Trying to get the nuances of community bldg. And of course lives of young techies in city. Guesthouse terrace in #koramangala serves well for meetings
- Replying to @GoyalMalini @Magazine_ET and 5 othersReverse #migration: This is what happens when u create decent jobs in smaller cities. Pushpa Minj migrated from Lohardaga near Ranchi to NCR 2 work. But was miserable leaving family behind. She relocated back. She now earns more spends less. Her smile wuld make your day. 4/n
