"The biggest epiphany I’ve had lately – If I had indexed on structure and outcome in the first three years of my career, I wouldn’t have progressed. Or made it to where I am today. What did this mean? Working on ideas that often did not see the light of day. Now,...

"I work more hours than I would in a 9 to 5 setup. I won’t tell you if that’s true or not. But it is the most common interpretation of a workplace that has no working hours. Whether it’s a hiring call at C4E or a conversation with a friend, I struggle to explain what...

"UPDATE: Building an anthology ft. marketers, in public. Last week, I put out a post asking people to tag marketers they look up to. Why? Because of an itch. Our first anthology taught me a lot about people and processes. More than that, it helped build the muscle to...

"Week 5 - Building Decoding Draupadi in public 📢 This week, I've got two major updates - Database of women leaders in India and content. 1/ Draupadi on the Dais - After a lot of delays with our website and roll-out plans, we're finally ready to help organisations host...

"Compounding, Decoding Draupadi's offline meetup, & and long-term thinking - Updates from weeks 3 & 4! As of today, there are 34858 open things at Decoding Draupadi. We don’t wake up to one product / problem statement. We wake up to a lot of BAU tasks +...

"Week 2 - Building Decoding Draupadi in public. The context: I come here every Monday to share a review of what we did at Decoding Draupadi. The idea is to be more accountable and create a space for me to learn from you. Last week, here's what I worked on, thought...
