I saw the moon last night
The world we live in – the irony of western democracy or human nature? Brexit happened and Remainers (I was one) are still not happy. What if Remainers accepted the vote and worked with Brexiteers for the good of the country and its people? Would we be in this mess? Donald Trump got elected. The […]
50 Something – Make the Middle Age Relevant Again
This article originally appeared on Linkedin Noted that Nick Jaspan recently ran a Roundtable on 50 something, but from a consumer angle (sorry Nick only read the headline). I’ve been toying with a hypothesis lately and think it’s time I share it. I’m 51. Some of my batch mates (Royal College, Colombo 87 Group) are already thinking […]
Linkedin Post Views Mystery
When does the Linkedin Post Views counter reset? Is this based on the age of the post or relying on some other bizarre algorithm? I just looked at my last six months. Some seem to have retained the count whereas others have reset. Once I had a post with over 200k views in 4 weeks. […]
Catching up with Lisa Layzell
Caught up with Lisa Layzell who seems to be getting prettier unlike me as we both age! Lisa and I both started out from Sci-Tech Daresbury in 2006 and she was one of the first female Tech Founders of old #Techcelerate and also an Alum of #Alliance Manchester Business School. We are both back at […]
Waking up in a pool of sweat
Good morning All! It’s 8 am on a Saturday. I woke up in a pool of sweat. I don’t normally see dreams. But saw one last night which I do not understand. The last image I have is I entered a room (they did not invite me in – it was still being arranged). Its […]

Planting Seeds Publicly
I like planting seeds publicly and see where it might take us. Today, my focus is to develop Techcelerate into helping Tech Founders grow their Tech (scalable product with recurring revenues) Companies until exit. We’ve actually achieved very little of what I set up to do, but have evolved as we engage with tech founders. […]
Uniting the world through WhatsApp
The tech evolution started to accelerate at the back end of 20th century. Then we had the dot com bust. Some of those who survived, are ruling the world today. Two of the notable global giants are Salesforce for business and Amazon for consumers. Then in the mid ’00s we saw the emergence of what […]
Entrepreneurship sucks! Know when to get out!
There is a significant danger in promotion of “entrepreneurship” without fully understanding the ups and downs. Where ever you look nowadays, there are so many people calling themselves entrepreneurs or promoting it. It’s a trend. Very few talk about the dangers of it. Don’t get me wrong, we need entrepreneurs to move the society forward. […]
The garbage we carry!
Most of us suffer from incidents in the past. Some suffer from horrific abuses and continue to suffer from those memories today. When I review my past, the incidents I still remember and angry about are so minute, they would barely register on an incident scale, if such a scale existed. Having turned 50 recently, […]
