Will never forget these lines.

Don't miss this folks, for anyone looking to understand how to truly live their ESOP journey, this book can answer all your questions.

[Sandeep Jethwani @sandeepjethwani]

Infosys is India’s original startup. When it pioneered the concept of modern ESOPs in the 1990s, it created a movement for employees to participate in a company’s wealth journey.

I can not think of a better first-reader of my ESOP book than one of its co-founders - @NandanNilekani sir.

Infosys did something no company had done before at this scale. It gave ESOPs not just to senior leaders, but to everyone, engineers, office assistants, even drivers. By 1999, 412 Infosys employees had become crorepatis. 97 of them had become dollar millionaires before the age of 35. The attender serving tea at Infosys in the early 2000s might have been one of them.

I met Nandan Sir in October last year to present the early-manuscript of The Millionaire Employee and eventually incorporated his feedback in the final edition. Getting a note from him in this book felt like a full circle moment I will not forget.

I’m honoured to have his blessings as we launch The Millionaire Employee today on Amazon, airport book stores and soon on Blinkit too.

Nobody told me that it takes a village to write a book.

To all ESOP holders in India. May you change the trajectory of not just your family but also the nation just like so many like you have done before.

@flyspicejet postponed a flight from MUM to JPR (SG 920) at a weekend just 48 hrs before by 1 day? No empathy, customer excellence is 0, pathetic service.
I have an emergency and planned things, and I'm stranded, accommodate me on the next flight.
Is this correct @MoCA_GoI?

[Bhuvanesh Kumar @k_bhuvan]

@flyspicejet how can you reschedule a flight by 24 hrs and expect the passenger to be comfortable? No empathy, customer excellence is 0, and time and again you do things to lose loyal customers.
My flight on Saturday 28th feb has been rescheduled to Sunday 1st Mar.

@F_Compounders Can someone help with mental math here @grok

[Bhuvanesh Kumar @k_bhuvan]

@SahilKapoor @prem_94 What will be on aggregate, the underlying funds weighted expense ratio? An indicative range is also fine.

[VJ @VijayThk]

FOMO in the Stock Market is expensive.

Silver and Gold rally for weeks → silence.
Prices break out → excitement.
Everyone starts chasing → headlines scream new era.
Then comes one red day.
And suddenly fear replaces greed.
That’s how FOMO works:
You ignore the move when it’s building,
you chase it when it’s obvious,
and you panic on the first correction.

Today’s fall is a reminder:
Strong assets don’t move in straight lines.
But weak hands always enter at the wrong time.
Smart money buys before excitement.
FOMO money buys after validation.

In markets, the cost of missing out is emotional.
The cost of chasing is financial.
Discipline > Headlines
Process > Emotion

This is a bogus attempt at damage control that will not fool anybody. These are pious proclamations but the dangerous 100m+ redefinition of the Aravallis - rejected by the Forest Survey of India, the Supreme Court-mandated Central Empowered Committee, and the Supreme Court’s amicus curiae - remains unchanged.

@IRCTCofficial train number 12016 Ajmer- NDLS shatabadi will come to Jaipur junction at what time today?
There is some confusion since I have got a msg that the train will start from Kbatipura today.

[Bhuvanesh Kumar @k_bhuvan]

@ANANDSROY I hope you respond here and this reaches you because neither on mail nor or call does your company respond as to how an approved claim can be revised lower later on. It causes extreme mental harassment and emotional trauma to a patient and their family. @NIKHILLJHA

[Bhuvanesh Kumar @k_bhuvan]

So this is a post to tell you how not to treat customers & no place that protects consumer rights against insurers.
BG - my mother was admitted to the hospital for some days, on discharge approval was given and post 2 hrs, the approval was lowered. Unsatisfactory! @StarHealthIns

[Bhuvanesh Kumar @k_bhuvan]

The problem with chatbots @urbancompany_UC @UC_Assist is that there's no EQ here. I had scheduled a visit for 11 am today for a plumber and planned my day accordingly. At 12 pm I'm told the plumber not available, cancel or reschedule to evening. Is this service for which I pay?

[Professor @Masterji_UPWale]

I was trained to fight Wars.
She was never trained for the kind of battles, she fought every day.

When I left for NDA, I was 18.
A BOY full of pride,
Carrying a steel trunk and dreams.
When I got Commissioned,
I was 22 : A MAN in uniform.

But the day I Married her,
I realised the true meaning of courage...
Not in Bullets, but in Patience.

The first time I got posted to the border,
She didn’t cry.
She just smiled and said,

“Bas phone karte rehna.”

And when the phone didn’t connect for days,
She still smiled when her parents asked, “Kaisa hai beta?”

She’s been smiling through uncertainty ever since.

She celebrates #Diwali by herself.

Lights diyas in every corner of our small SF quarter...
Says it makes her feel I’m home.

One year, the electricity went out.
She told me later how she sat in darkness, lighting candles one by one, whispering to my Mom :
“He must be lighting diyas on the border too.”

That night, I was under a tarpaulin tent, eating cold poori and pickle from a dented mess tin.

#Karwachauths come and go.

She dresses up, puts on sindoor, opens the video call, and smiles through a weak network..

“Main dekh liya, tum khana khao.”

The call drops before I can even reply.

She handles everything.
From paying bills online to fixing the water motor.
When the car broke down,
she learned to push-start it.
When I couldn’t come home for medical emergencies,
she sat in the hospital alone,
praying to every god she knew.

Through it all, she never complains.
Not once.

She once had a promising career
a steady job, her own desk, colleagues, and a sense of independence she had built with quiet pride.

But when I got my first peace posting,
She made a choice most won’t understand.
She left it all behind..
Not because she had to,
but because she wanted to be with us.
She said, “What’s the point of building a career if it keeps us apart?”
Since then, every posting, every move, every new city has been her project ..
Rebuilding a home from scratch, Without complaint,
Without applause.

She keeps my medals polished but tells me softly..
“Don’t bring more medals,
if they cost us more years Apart.”

I’ve realised that the bravest salute isn’t given on the parade ground..
it’s given silently...
..by a woman waving from a railway platform.

They don’t wear stars on their shoulders,
but they carry the weight of our absence,
With grace.

So if you ever meet a soldier,
Salute twice ..
once for him,
and once for his Wife
that keeps him strong.

Because I may have fought for the Nation,
but she fought for my life.
And she won every single time.

❤️ To every military wife,
YOU are the unseen medal
We proudly wear. 🫡

#KarwaChauth2025 ❤️ #Love

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

The richest people I know:
Don’t shout expensive brands from the rooftops,
They quietly wear simple clothes.

They don’t roar down the street in Ferraris,
They roll up in a Toyota Innova, but on time.

They don’t live in marble mansions with infinity pools,
They live in apartments where the wifi works.

They don’t post themselves sipping champagne,
They live a quiet life below the radar.

Wealth whispers.
Insecurity shouts.
Real money is in stocks, startups and silent compounding,
Not in reels, Chanel bags and Armani dresses.

Stop performing. Start building.

@ola_supports The response is unsatisfactory and lacks logic. I have responded to the team.
@bhash it'll be good rather than spending and devoting resources to other strategic business initiatives, if you and your team could maintain quality in the main business.

[Bhuvanesh Kumar @k_bhuvan]

I had raised a query for ~1month now for a ride. I have been charged more than 3.5k for a ride I never took. This is a clear case of malpractice at the driver's end and error in your systems. Bad experience with no empathy for loyal customers is setting up for disaster.
