India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
The demand for a 5 Day Work Week in banks is not new. It already stands agreed upon in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. What remains is its long-pending implementation.
At the same time, the unilateral and discriminatory PLI system must be abolished and replaced with a fair, transparent and inclusive framework for all employees, recognising the collective effort behind every institution’s performance.
Hardworking bank employees are not asking for privilege. They are asking for implementation of an agreement and equality in reward.
A motivated banking workforce strengthens Indian banking and the nation.

In business, it is easy to feel like you have hit a dead end when global events like wars (either trade wars or kinetic warfare) bring trade to a halt. When the usual path disappears, entrepreneurs can recognise the change and find a new way forward.
When World War I stopped the Mysore Kingdom from exporting its sandalwood, the legendary Wodeyar King and Sir M. Visvesvaraya took a big step: they set up a factory in 1916 to turn the sandalwood into soap. It was innovative for its tim. They used 100% sandalwood oil and packaged it like a jewel box, giving the soap a royal identity.
They adapted and created something new from a crisis. This story is proof that a 'dead end' is a signal to pivot and innovate, turning a problem into a timeless brand.
I wish you all best wishes in overcoming challenges and innovating your way in creating value.

Throwback to 2013/14, in front of our third property in Gurgaon with the front office manager.
I don't exactly remember who I was on a call with but most likely it was a customer trying to book a hotel at 12 am in the night since our website had crashed. 😅
Oh, the memories! Back in the early years of OYO, my number was even listed on the customer care page. It's incredible to see how far we've come since then!
Introduction of ChatGPT is so similar to HTML and the Internet early days. Everyone knew it would be impactful but we made it seem far more complicated that it was. Any kid that learned html and built websites for businesses was considered a tech genius. It’s the same with using ChatGPT/LLMs. It will go from being perceived as difficult, to being recognized as being fundamental and used by everyone. It’s easy to try and experiment with. If you haven’t. You should.

Last night's flight back to Bengaluru. The guy in the next aisle in row 1 got up just after the Captain announced that we'd be landing shortly, as he followed the stewards who had started collecting items to discard. Even the stewards were looking at him wondering what he 1/11
