Super Update


Hey guys! Its been ages since I wrote anything. I blame it on my lethargy, lack of motivation and frankly the non-existence of any time to do so! So here goes:
1. I am a Masters in International Management and Entrepreneurship graduate with Merit!!! Got my result a few weeks ago and was over the moon (which apparently has water on it)! See photo, how neatly ruined my desktop was!
2. I have finally decided to stay on here in UK for about half an year at-least to see if I can get a job or something like that, so applying for the visa in a couple of days.
3. I have been working my ass off, reason why I couldn't blog enough. Earning the dough can be quite a satisfying experience!
4. I finally managed to get out of Glasgow in September, went with the mates to Manchester, Blackpool and Newcastle by car on a much awaited road trip. High point: driving on UK highways, shot the Vauxhall Astra 1.6 to 123miles/hr, super!
5. Glasgow gets colder and colder (0 deg. as I type), nothing new though, its fun to see the new guys trying to adjust to life at Uni and the new city.
6. Had a meek Diwali, did nothing much, went to the temple. High points: sweets from India courtesy Arpit and Akhilesh who went back home on a break (lucky b*****ds)
7. Had an awesome Guy Fox night, the night which is like Diwali for Glaswegians with awesome night time fireworks, simply amazing!
8. Can't wait to get back to India for a break. really need one. I hope to make it there in Feb/March, hope to meet loads of people and travel like hell through villages and cities of the motherland!
Will upload pics asap!
Later, hopefully soon!

Understanding the job

Working with a product company, one of the bigger dilemmas facing the Product team is what to build based on the backlog of product items. Listening to a Harvard lecture podcast online recently, I came across a concept which helped me clear this dilemma. It simply asks a question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Ideas for the product you are building can come through various routes. We're going to lose this customer if we don't incorporate this now, this is something the CEO really wants to see in the product, it's been sitting in the backlog forever etc. But a very good way to go about prioritizing what goes into the product is to find the answer to the question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Imagine the product to be an employee who is hired for a particular profile. Now there are certain roles and responsibilities or KPI's which will define whether this employee is fit for the post. The same logic will apply to the p...

Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Enterprise

The dictionary defines an Entrepreneur as one who undertakes innovations using business, technical and financial acumen to transform them into viable economic goods, or revitalizing and adding value to an organization. It has to be understood that each and every one has an entrepreneurial bent of mind embedded within us. Most of us do not realize that we unknowingly practice this in our day to day lives through finding an innovative solution at home thus saving time or money, or being 'Intrapreneurs' at work, constantly coming up with methods and processes which would be of benefit to the company and the client. I had the opportunity to attend TiECon-2012 (flagship event of the 'The Indus Entrepreneurs' group) held in the last week of September. The primary focus of the event was to bring together like minded individuals from a multitude of business, financial and technological backgrounds to network, share thoughts and ideologies, learn the art of pro-activeness, un...

Can't let the streak end!

Just a few days until the end of this year and the decade. Realised that there's not been one post this year. Can't let the blog post streak end can we? It's been a busy year. Started off on a good note, ringing in the new year in Thailand with the wife. Got lodged in an unending project which somewhat sums up my year! Nothing to write home about for 2019, some personal projects did start off which were a good break. Got the Octy home, something I've really wanted - which was exciting, a gift which keeps on giving! Hit up Melbourne city again- just once this year, a trip to Nagpur, to Bhopal and to the hills a few times, all necessary to keep things moving on different fronts. Resolution for the next year is to shift gears- down, not up. Who am I kidding. Look forward to an exciting 2020 with more travel, more adventure and more wins!
