Entrepreneur & Digital Creator 🇮🇳 | Former Corporate Researcher | Founder: KenFolios | Startup & Media Advisor | Pioneering Indian Millennium Political (R&D)
Eating too much ice cream is not good for health, yet I would still like to thank ice cream. Because during tough times, it provided me with a little happiness and a dose of dopamine.
In the past, I have spoken on various issues on social media. Today, I am presenting the essence of this entire story in the fewest words possible.
The phase of extraordinary challenges in my life began in 2010, 14 years ago. I was working in Mumbai as a successful entrepreneur when some people caused me significant losses, amounting to over ₹1 crore. What followed was a series of conspiracies.
I was trying to re-establish myself, and amidst all this, a hidden conspiracy was being woven against me. I continued my work, wondering why anyone would bother troubling me after already causing such a loss.
Being an entrepreneur with a sigma personality, I decided to get to the root of this problem and resolve it. During this period, I was harassed in nearly 700–800 ways. I conducted over 5,000 experiments and research, discussed matters on social media, spoke to thousands of people, gathered information, and eventually discovered that this was the work of some extremist, anarchist, and divisive-minded individuals.
I then researched why these individuals acted this way. I found that they primarily sought to make money and live a life of enjoyment. But what’s wrong with that? Everyone wants to earn money and live a good life.
The problem lies in the methods they adopt, which create problems in the lives of millions of people. Unfortunately, due to their nature and ignorance, they are unaware of the consequences of their actions.
Now, what’s the solution? Should strict legal or punitive actions be taken against them? No, that’s not the solution. Because our society needs them too, just as it requires the coexistence of gods and demons.
I have delved deep into research to find ways to solve this issue and, in the future, will work on these solutions. They will get what they desire, but in the right manner, ensuring no harm comes to anyone else’s life. How this will be done is something I will handle.
During this time, several cases were filed, and agencies will investigate them. However, I promise that no one will face unnecessary trouble.
All I ask is that these individuals do not obstruct my work. Also, of the companions they separated from me, the good ones should be returned to me. Those who are inherently bad can remain with them. Those who wish to improve themselves are welcome to join.
I firmly believe in Hinduism, and during these challenging times, I have always been saved by Mahadev’s blessings. I have received the blessings of Brahma for creativity, wisdom from Lord Ganesha, and Krishna has always been present in my heart.
I believe that in the coming time, I will receive the support of all sections of society. Because what I am about to do will bring changes to the lives of millions. Thank you.

ज्यादा आइस-क्रीम खाना सेहत के लिए अच्छा नहीं है, पर फिर भी मैं आइस-क्रीम को धन्यवाद दूंगा। क्योंकि, इसी आइस-क्रीम ने मुश्किल क्षणों में थोड़ी खुशी दी और डोपामाइन का सहारा दिया।
पिछले समय में मैंने सोशल मीडिया पर कई मुद्दों पर बात की; आज मैं इस पूरी कहानी का सार कम से कम शब्दों में बता रहा हूँ।
असामान्य चुनौतियों का दौर मेरे जीवन में 2010 में, यानी आज से 14 वर्ष पहले शुरू हुआ। मैं मुंबई में एक सफल उद्यमी के रूप में काम कर रहा था, और उस समय कुछ लोगों ने मेरा लगभग 1 करोड़ रुपये से अधिक का नुकसान किया। इसके बाद साजिशों का एक सिलसिला शुरू हुआ।
मैं अपने आप को फिर से स्थापित करने की कोशिश कर रहा था, और इसी बीच मेरे खिलाफ एक गुप्त साजिश चल रही थी। मैं अपना काम कर रहा था और सोचता था कि अब नुकसान करने के बाद कोई मुझे क्यों परेशान करेगा।
मैं एक उद्यमी हूँ और ऊपर से सिग्मा पर्सनालिटी का स्वामी। मैंने ठान लिया कि इस समस्या की जड़ तक पहुँचकर इसे सुलझाऊंगा। इस दौरान मुझे लगभग 700-800 तरीकों से परेशान किया गया। मैंने 5000 से अधिक प्रयोग और शोध किए, सोशल मीडिया पर चर्चा की, हज़ारों लोगों से बात की और जानकारी इकट्ठा की। इसके बाद मुझे पता चला कि इसके पीछे कुछ अतिवादी, अराजक और विभाजनकारी विचारधारा वाले लोग हैं।
इसके बाद मैंने रिसर्च की कि ये लोग ऐसा क्यों करते हैं। मुझे समझ आया कि ये लोग पैसा कमाना चाहते हैं और मौज-मस्ती भरा जीवन जीना चाहते हैं। लेकिन इसमें गलत क्या है? हर कोई पैसा कमाना चाहता है और अच्छा जीवन जीना चाहता है।
पर समस्या यह है कि ये लोग जो तरीके अपनाते हैं, उनके कारण करोड़ों लोगों के जीवन में समस्याएँ आती हैं। लेकिन उनके स्वभाव और अज्ञान के कारण उन्हें यह बातें समझ में नहीं आतीं।
अब समाधान क्या है? क्या इनके खिलाफ कानूनी या सख्त कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए? नहीं, यह समाधान नहीं है। क्योंकि हमारे समाज को इनकी भी आवश्यकता है, जैसे देवताओं और दानवों का सह-अस्तित्व होता है।
मैंने इस समस्या को सुलझाने के तरीकों पर गहरी रिसर्च की है, और आने वाले समय में मैं इन पर काम करूंगा। इन्हें जो भी चाहिए, वह मिलेगा, लेकिन सही तरीके से, जिससे किसी और के जीवन में कोई परेशानी न आए। यह कैसे करना है, वह मुझ पर छोड़ दें।
इस दौरान कई केस दर्ज हुए हैं; एजेंसियाँ उनकी जांच करेंगी। लेकिन मैं यह वादा करता हूँ कि किसी को भी अनावश्यक परेशानी नहीं होगी।
मेरा बस यह कहना है कि ये लोग मेरे काम में रुकावट न डालें। साथ ही, मेरे जितने भी साथी, जिन्हें इन लोगों ने मुझसे अलग किया, उनमें से जो अच्छे थे, उन्हें मुझे लौटाया जाए। जो स्वभावतः ही बुरे हैं, उन्हें ये लोग अपने पास रखें। जो अच्छा बनना चाहते हैं, उनका भी स्वागत है।
मैं हिंदू धर्म में आस्था रखता हूँ, और इस मुश्किल समय में मुझे महादेव के आशीर्वाद ने सदैव बचाया। स्वयं ब्रह्मदेव की सृजनशीलता का आशीर्वाद और गणेश जी से बुद्धि प्राप्त हुई। कान्हा सदैव मेरे मन में विराजमान रहे।
आने वाले समय में मुझे सभी वर्गों का साथ मिलेगा, ऐसा मेरा विश्वास है। क्योंकि जो मैं करने जा रहा हूँ, उससे करोड़ों लोगों के जीवन में बदलाव आएगा। धन्यवाद।
Mumbai’s Outsiders — From Memory Lane
I plan to travel more this financial year to deepen my research and create work of real value.
As I map these journeys, one thought keeps returning. Being a true Mumbaikar, I’ve always felt connected to people—no matter where they come from. Memories of interactions across India surface naturally.
One such memory goes back to 2010–11.
I received a call from a sitting Member of Parliament from North Mumbai, requesting an urgent meeting. I usually avoided political offices, but given his position, I went that same evening.
He was with a close associate I already knew as a local leader who often visited my office. The diversity was striking: the MP, a former editor of a well-known Marathi newspaper, from a North Indian background; his associate, from the South.
He shared that some people were lobbying against me and my business, trying to pressure him to extract funds. I told him such incidents weren’t new—they were part of a larger pattern I had been observing.
His response was measured. As a public representative, he said he must listen to everyone, but he was equally committed to safeguarding young entrepreneurs. He assured me of support whenever needed, even beyond Mumbai, and stressed handling such matters thoughtfully.
We spoke further on a few socially relevant issues before closing the meeting.
What stayed with me was their conduct—composed, respectful, responsible. I’ve rarely seen that level of courtesy in many interactions.
My experience with “outsiders” in Mumbai has been consistently positive. Like a university where diverse minds enrich each other, Mumbai thrives on its people. It expands every Mumbaikar’s perspective.
My work will take me to many places, but Mumbai will always remain at the core.
In many parts of the world, people are observing Ramzan fasting. For someone like me who continuously researches food and dietary habits and how they affect health, this case is really interesting.
Recently, I visited a strictly vegetarian (Jain foods) store to buy some carbs. The store had hundreds of different and very unique food products. While browsing the racks, I noticed a woman looking in her early 30s — one of the employees — dressed in a light green kurta with her dupatta covering her head. It was around noon, and the store was busy.
She looked visibly exhausted.
At times, she was taking physical support from the cold storage racks just to stand properly. That was the extent of her fatigue. Yet every time a customer approached, she straightened herself, smiled, and attended to them with complete professionalism.
What struck me wasn’t just that she was fasting.
It was that she was fasting while standing for long hours, surrounded by hundreds of appealing food products, continuously serving customers — and still maintaining grace.
I felt two emotions at once.
Respect — for her discipline and commitment.
And concern — because sometimes human beings push themselves to remarkable extremes in the name of devotion and duty.
Observations like these stay with me.
Because constant research and real-world experiences shape the ideas I apply while building professional communities like KenFolios and VStreet.
We are not just building business networks. We are pushing for lifestyle changes — habits, discipline, health awareness, and personal structure — that support long-term professional success and overall well-being.
High performance is not built on ambition alone. It rests on physical resilience, mental balance, and everyday discipline.
Har Har Mahadev 🔱
Mahashivratri ki hardik shubhkamnayein to everyone.
On this sacred occasion, I want to share a real incident from my life where I truly felt Mahadev’s invisible support.
As preserved in our family history and shared by my parents, our origins trace back centuries to Kashi, the sacred land of Bhagwan Mahadev. Over time, our ancestors moved toward North Goa and, during the Portuguese regime, later settled in Karwar in present-day North Karnataka. Across generations, Mahadev has remained our Kuldevta. From my grandfather’s time onward, our family has lived in Mumbai. I was born and raised here and am very much a Mumbaikar.
In 2009, I was running a real estate and FMCG trading company in Mumbai, employing a few hundred people, having built financial strength and professional credibility. A young MBA handling compliance introduced a Chartered Accountant as our full-time CA. Both belonged to the Jain Marwari community — mentioned purely as a factual detail. It later emerged that the CA had developed a cricket betting habit, suffered heavy losses, and absconded with important company documents, including TDS certificates worth several lakhs, creating serious compliance risk.
When contact attempts failed, we traced the residential address submitted to the company. I went there with team members but remained seated in my car, asking my driver to accompany them to speak to him near the society gate. During the exchange, tempers rose. He ran inside, entered the society secretary’s residence, and locked himself inside the bedroom. The secretary had political affiliations at that time.
The next day, I began receiving calls from individuals connected to that network. The matter was framed as intimidation, which was not the case. There appeared to be efforts to escalate the issue by approaching influential business circles within the Jain Marwari community in Mumbai. It is a financially strong community, and if collective backing had formed, pressure could have been created. However, no organized support formed and the issue gradually diffused.
Looking back, this remains one of the moments where Mahadev stood as invisible support.
Over the past five years, I’ve declined 50+ major conference invitations — including top-tier AI summits and reputed industry platforms. Not out of disregard, but evolution. Having built my career on the internet, I view traditional summits as pre-internet constructs in a digital-first world where knowledge is real-time and networking is continuous. Especially in AI, depth and digital leverage often outweigh travel optics. Going forward, structured and compensated participation reflects clarity of value — because when time is capital, engagement must justify itself. 😉
🇮🇳 Republics emerged when the urge to rule became a weakness, not a strength.
Perhaps our Republic later created rulers with the same urge — and that’s why millennials and beyond view democracy differently today.
May this evolution unfold peacefully, across business, politics, and life. Happy 77th Republic Day.
Life’s Challenges as a First-Generation Entrepreneur” 🌱 🎙️ “आपको पता है मेरे जीवन में क्या-क्या हुआ?” 💭 In this video, I reflect on the journey of being a first-generation entrepreneur facing immense challenges. It’s like playing a game that jumps to the extreme levels right from the start. People might wonder, “What’s so tough?” But when you’re up against conspiracies, competitors using unfair means, and those who sabotage your growth, the challenges are real. 💡 The key? Ask yourself—are you standing with the truth? If the answer is “yes,” then no matter what others say or do, it won’t shake you. I’ve learned this through personal experience, and I’m sharing it with you today. Want to know more about these struggles? DM me for a copy of my memoir, where I share these untold experiences
This throwback photo is from one of the many therapy staycations that I took during my depression phase, which began around this same time in 2019. It was one of the toughest periods of my life, shaped by certain actions and behaviour of people. During that phase, I slowed down and spent time learning and researching—about health, fitness, and recovery. I began to understand how inflammation quietly harms the body, and how anti-inflammatory foods play a key role in healing by correcting internal imbalances, often in uncomfortable ways.
Over time, I saw the same pattern in society. Harmful actions create social inflammation and slowly weaken systems, while forces that protect society—our defenders, leaders, changemakers, and responsible people—often have to take tough, sometimes unpopular measures to restore balance. Just as anti-inflammatory foods are not always enjoyable or easy to follow, people and actions that reduce damage are not always liked. But healing, whether of the body or society, is rarely gentle. It disrupts what is harmful to protect what truly matters.
While attention is on the news cycle, this week marks a quieter milestone for me.
KenFolios completed 13 years this week.
My interest in the internet began early. As a teenage freelance corporate researcher in Mumbai, I was drawn to technology, information, and how ideas travel. By the late 2010s, it became clear to me that media would increasingly take shape online — even if that belief felt early to many.
Those early years weren’t easy. Starting young meant facing pressure, resistance, and learning difficult lessons sooner than expected. When I began focusing on online publishing around 2010, many people I knew felt it looked like a step down from more traditional, established work. To me, it felt like alignment.
I also chose to walk away from extremely lucrative paths to build something without compromise.
On 12 January 2013, KenFolios was formally launched.
Since then: 5,000+ stories, 100M+ reach, 30,000+ community, and the foundation of VStreet.
This isn’t a loud celebration — just a pause to acknowledge progress.
A lot done. Much more to come.
As we come to the close of Makar Sankranti this year, the Sun begins its northward journey (Uttarayan) — a shift long associated with clarity, energy, and forward momentum. Over the years, I’ve used this phase to build a composed, focused mindset through deep research and reflection. For me, Sankranti marks the time to prepare for visible growth in the months ahead, so that when the next winters arrive, we live the outcomes we patiently built.
I Don’t Take the Far Right Turn
Every time I exit Mumbai from the northern edge—
at Ghodbunder Junction—this thought returns.
Straight goes towards Vapi, Daman, and eventually Delhi.
The far right points towards Pune, Goa, and further south.
On the road, it’s just a turn.
In life, it’s a reminder.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve faced politics at almost every stage of my journey.
Not ideology—politics of power, exclusion, neglect, and quiet disrespect, even inside so-called professional spaces.
Years ago, I was invited—almost compelled—to attend an event in Pune.
It started badly.
Very late-night flight tickets from Delhi were booked, leaving almost no time to rest before the event.
The event was at Hyatt Pune.
All guests stayed at the Hyatt—except me and a female team member.
At the last moment, we were told there was “no availability” for us.
No notice. No explanation.
We were shifted to a budget hotel on Pune’s outskirts, far from the venue.
Then came the worst part.
The hotel had only one room available.
We were told no other rooms existed and nothing could be arranged.
No escalation. No effort.
We were made to stay in the same room.
This was not a choice.
It was negligence—unacceptable in any professional setup.
The conditions were terrible.
The food was unsafe. The drinks were bad.
The female team member couldn’t eat there and went to a friend’s place.
I stayed—and paid for it physically.
I suffered symptoms close to food poisoning
and took nearly a week to recover.
Logistics failed again.
Pickup was delayed and disorganised.
After the event, we were asked to pay for the stay ourselves, which we did.
I formally expressed serious dissatisfaction.
The event had no agenda, no structure, no outcome.
Famous media and advertising names were present,
but without purpose, even influence is meaningless.
It felt less like a professional invitation
and more like a political exercise where inconvenience was normalised.
This does not define Pune.
Cities are bigger than incidents.
A Pune visit is happening again—soon.
But it left a memory.
So when I think of politics—of any kind—
I avoid the far right turn.
I stay straight.
Happy 2026, everyone.
2025 for me was about speeding things up by doing many tasks with AI assistance—and that continues in 2026.
This is an AI-generated image of something I had imagined: visiting the Daman coast. I skipped the trip, but created this instead.
It’s very close to my current look.
Festivities this year gave me a good break — and reminded me how perfectly life has shaped me since childhood. Sharing four moments from those days on this Bal Diwas.
In the last photo: my father, sister, mother, me, and my aatya (paternal aunt).
The second-last photo has me playing with our pet dog.
Before that, a kid me posing with the Arjuna Rath from the Mahabharat serial.
And in the first one, a toddler-me smiling.
This smile was the reason my paternal grandfather named me Suhas. He worked with the Mumbai Police, and his name was Krishna Raghoba Naik. He had also named my father Raghoba in remembrance of his own father. The name Raghoba is inspired by the great Maratha general Raghoba Dada (Raghunathrao), who expanded the Maratha Empire all the way to Attock — present-day Peshawar, Pakistan.
My grandfather wanted my father to join the forces or the police, continuing the family tradition, but my father chose another government service. My grandfather always said I would grow up to be an intellectual, with strong analytical abilities and impactful work. Today, my work honours his words.
Happy Diwali, everyone! ✨
Diwali isn’t just a festival — it’s the biggest Indian festival, and also a reminder of a deeper truth: it’s about renewing our resolve to do good in life and sustain happiness, not just celebrate it.
In my right hand is a diya I bought last year, and in my left is the one I bought this year. On both occasions, I had asked someone to go to the shop and make sure to bring back a “Made in India” diya.
Last year, they got a box of 12 diyas for ₹250, clearly marked “Made in India.” This year, they brought back better-looking diyas for ₹30 each. The shopkeeper proudly said, “Yahi sabse zyada chalta hai — Made in India hai.” But when I opened the box at home, I found out they were actually made in China.
I take this as one more reminder: “Made in India” sounds great as an idea, but to make it a reality, we need a stronger collective resolve. Consumers will always choose better value, and businesses will always sell what’s more profitable.
Beyond slogans, we need to contribute to the global order through innovation, not just by trying to beat someone at what they already do best.
For me, Diwali is not just about lights — it’s about resolve for the best, and the best is always driven by innovation. 💡🇮🇳🪔
✨ Happy Vijaya Dashami ✨
While I’m on a spree of revisiting old memories during these festivities, I’m also reminded that the past few years have brought some small victories — though they required a lot, sometimes unthinkably a lot.
As part of this reflection, I’m sharing a few photos from my real estate business years in Mumbai (2006–2010). That journey came with larger challenges but also some of my biggest successes. Today, I feel it was less about the end result and more about preparing to grow to the next level.
📸 In the first photo (from right):
My partner and director Capt. Apurva Naik, myself, and Shri Jignesh Ji.
📸 In the second photo (from left):
A few of my amazing teammates — Shri Arvind Singh, Shri Mithilesh Gupta, Shri Mangesh Salunkhe, Shri Sachin Tulve.
✨ Revisiting more Teenage Memories (2003–2005) ✨
This is me in my teens (first from the left in the first photo). Don’t mind the tanning — too much cricket in those days — I was actually fairer back then!
These photos are from the launch of our public transport initiative (2003–2005), which I started to support youngsters from underprivileged areas of Mumbai. It was a great success in those years, and surprisingly, it also triggered a political conflict that stretched far beyond the project itself (maybe still not over 😉).
The model proved to be a true public utility, and later BEST (MCGM) introduced a similar idea through air-conditioned mini-buses offering doorstep service.
At the same time, the political tussle created a new space where the media–Bollywood nexus made big money from political circles. On the brighter side, it also fueled opportunities for a whole generation of young people (post-2010) who began offering early social media services — shaping an entirely new industry.
Looking back, it’s surreal to see how a teenage initiative could ripple into politics, utilities, media, and the digital economy.
Revisiting Memories – My Friend Ruben
As the festivities are being felt all around, I find myself revisiting memories from the past — and one name that comes rushing back is Ruben.
Around 2000, when I lived in the Aarey area of Mumbai, I became friends with Ruben — an American writer chasing opportunities in the Hindi film industry at nearby Film City. He was a Hindi scholar, spoke the language more fluently than me, and wrote songs and stories with deep passion.
But life wasn’t kind to him. He once told me he had lost everything to thieves in Mumbai and survived on the bare minimum. With help, we arranged a small shelter for him near a cattle farm, and he often relied on the kindness of travelers stopping at Panchavati Fast Food in Aarey Colony. That place became our meeting spot — over samosas and endless conversations.
I didn’t earn much back then to support him financially, but I did what I could — arranging medical treatment, spending time, and learning from his experiences. Ruben often spoke of America, Bollywood, and above all, his love for Hindi. He once told me I would go on to achieve great things in business and politics — words I’ve never forgotten. He even said that if Bollywood didn’t work out for him, he’d return to the US and tell people about me wherever he went.
We were close friends for almost a year. I even began planning a small launch event for him in Juhu, but before it could happen, Ruben disappeared one day. Just like that, he was gone.
It’s been decades, but as this festive season reminds us to value connections, I still remember him — and the way a fleeting friendship can leave a lasting mark on your life.
📸 This image is an AI-generated illustration of Ruben. We were friends in an era before phone cameras, and I don’t have a real picture of him — only memories that stay with me.
🇮🇳 Happy 75th Birthday to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji!
As a child, I remember reading about Modi Ji’s early social, community, and political work, and later his journey as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. My real learning, however, came much later—during my volunteering days with India Against Corruption, when he was being discussed as a future Prime Minister, and I came to know more deeply about his strong anti-corruption stand.
Behind me in this photo is the almost-abandoned admin building and central plant of one of India’s earliest large-scale dairy projects. Over the years, in conversations with people, the topic often turned to how the Maharashtra Government could work with private players to revive Aarey as a brand. There have been discussions of such initiatives, and I always felt it was much needed.
I personally witnessed the collapse of what was once Mumbai’s biggest dairy brand, and in that process, I came to deeply understand how corruption works—its mechanisms, its effects, and the exact measures required to eliminate it. Technically, government officials are expected to be non-corrupt as part of their responsibility, but reality often shifts depending on who is in power and why.
After 2014, corruption certainly reduced, but it has also survived by changing its form. It remains equally harmful today. In the years ahead, both I personally and we collectively as a nation have a great responsibility—to build a strong foundation for a Developed India. And we all know: a truly developed India is impossible without eliminating corruption. How we solve this challenge is the next step in our journey. Stay tuned.
🌍✨ Nature Has Its Own Balance System ✨🌍
In my socio-political research, I witnessed how bad people rely on the darkest tactics — manipulation, impersonation, honeytraps, paid swinger rackets, extortion, defamation, character assassination, smear campaigns, blackmail, and every other unethical and illegal trick.
And yet, despite crossing every moral and legal boundary, they never truly manage to control everything.
The reason is clear: Nature itself restores balance.
In my case, I witnessed a great calamity every time they conspired against me:
2005 → Political conspiracies in Mumbai → Mumbai floods struck.
2010–11 → Widespread framing and manipulation → The tsunami reshaped regions.
2018–19 → Renewed attempts at control → COVID-19 transformed the planet.
This feels like more than just coincidence. Each time, Nature reset the dynamics, preventing destructive forces from rising unchecked.
I do such research in my extra time, and it has become a fascinating journey — especially as I began connecting these events with scientific data and Vedic astrology.
The conclusion is undeniable:
🔹 Nature never lets destructive powers grow beyond a certain limit. 🌌
#Milestone 🚀
In the past few months, an overburdened me tried to use my ChatGPT Pro subscription to create a framework that could help people organize their everyday life more intelligently and easily.
Today, I’ve completed Version 1.0 of this framework — and I’m calling it VitalFrame 1.0.
Though it’s for my personal use right now, I’ll try to make it available for people in the future, at the right stage.
This framework is rooted in my daily work with complex tasks, so it’s naturally built to be highly efficient — capable of structuring and organizing life almost magically. ✨
