had a conversation today that gave me more clarity than I’ve had in months.
shook me for a bit, but in the best way possible. I know exactly what direction I want to go in now, and I can finally breathe a little easier.
time to go all in.
founder diaries episode 4
the wins, the lessons and the clients we've been working with.
last fortnight has been an absolute movie for each individual working in this company.
Last Janmashtami, I sat in the temple near my house till midnight with my japamala, chanting Hari naam. I remember asking Hari for so many things, some sincerely, some selfishly, simply because I wanted them.
A year later, I can see how differently He answered each one. Some things He gave me. For some, He simply took away the desire itself. And for others, He gave me lessons instead, perhaps so I could become someone capable of holding those things if they ever came to me.
I think I was foolish to be so certain about what was meant for me. We ask looking only at what is in front of us; He sees what we cannot.
So this Janmashtami, I think my prayer is a little different: have faith in what He has planned, but work as though what you pray for is already on its way. Build the capacity to hold it, and leave the rest to Him.
His plans have always been better than mine anyway.
Happy Janmashtami 🦚🪷
Almost 2 AM at the Golden Temple.
A couple beside me said, “You don’t plan to come here, you’re called here.”
Hit me because I had zero plans. Dad’s driver cancelled, 15 mins later I packed my bags, and now I’m here.
I guess it was written.
We had Rajveer showcase a fun side project he built to spice up boring road trips, using AI to generate challenges for friends to do when it’s gets to the boring part of the drive.
Just enter your route, friends, vibe, and go!

One thing we've learned while building Proof of Profit @zerithstudio: the first version is just the beginning.
What started as a World Cup prediction experiment is evolving into something much broader: a system built around sports intelligence, prediction markets, and finding edges.
We're actively building, testing, and iterating behind the scenes. The current product remains live, and everything new is being built without disrupting the experience.
The next few releases will reveal where we're taking this.
Stay tuned.

Honestly, I don’t think the career break is the issue. Six years at LinkedIn speaks for itself. If he has a genuine reason for the gap, a strong and stable profile matters far more even in the Indian job market.
