Sometimes the best meetings are the ones you don't expect much from.
Met Swapnil Srivastava (Director of Culture @ZostelHostel), had a genuinely fun conversation, and clicked the mandatory Zedital ร Zostel "Z" photo. ๐
Cheers to more Z ร Z ๐
The internet made everyone a creator.
But it also made everyone:
โข Impatient.
โข Addicted to metrics.
โข Obsessed with overnight success.
Compounding isn't sexy.
That's why so few people do it.

Funny how some people unexpectedly become part of your journey.
I first met Ankit Agarwal and his wife at an event in Cyber Hub, Gurgaon.
At the time, I knew them as the founders of CarryPro. We had a casual conversation about entrepreneurship, products, and building a brand from scratch. Their energy was infectious.
Before leaving, Ankit handed me a CarryPro bag.
Little did I know that the same brand would later show up inside my classroom at IIM Bangalore.
While studying New Product Development (NPD), we came across the CarryPro case study and broke down how they identified a problem, built a solution, and turned it into a growing brand.
I remember smiling and thinking,
"Wait... I know these people."
That's what I love about entrepreneurship.
One day you're using a product.
The next day you're studying the business behind it.
And sometimes, you're lucky enough to meet the people building it.
What stood out most about Ankit wasn't just the business he's built.
It was his humility and enthusiasm.
The kind of founder who genuinely enjoys talking about customers, products, and ideas.
Great catching up, Ankit.
Looking forward to seeing CarryPro reach even greater heights.
And thank you for the bag that's travelled almost as much as I have. ๐โ๏ธ

"In a world obsessed with entertainment, we're trying to make intelligence go viral."
The hardest part of content creation was never making videos.
200,000 views taught me something most creators never realize.
A few months ago, The Wolf of Indian Street was just an idea.
An idea born from curiosity.
Why do countries go to war?
Why do currencies rise and fall?
Why does oil decide the fate of nations?
And so on....
I wanted to create aplatform that makes geopolitics, science, money, and global affairs understandable for every Indian.
Not boring & academic.
But engaging enough to make people stop scrolling and start thinking.
Recently, one of our videos crossed 200,000 views.
While the number feels great, what excites me more is what people don't see.
The late-night research.
The endless fact-checking.
The scripts that get rewritten multiple times.
The discussion within the team over a single headline.
And the constant pressure of turning complex global events into content that anyone can understand in under 60 seconds.
This milestone belongs to the entire team behind the page.
Kudos to Team Zedital Media ๐
Every researcher, editor, strategist, and supporter who believed in the vision.
We're not just building a content page.
We're building a community of curious minds.
A place where learning about the world feels exciting again.
And we're just getting started.

Some people inspire you through what they achieve.
Others inspire you through how they achieve it.
Recently caught up with Anurag Mishra, and what I admire most about him isn't the titles, or the milestones he's achieved at such a young age.
It's his consistency.
While most people talk about building a career,
Anurag has spent years doing the work quietly, helping students navigate careers in finance, creating content, and sharing opportunities that many wish they had access to earlier.
His journey is proof that growth compounds when you combine curiosity, discipline, and a genuine desire to help others.
Every conversation with him leaves me with a reminder that success is rarely one big breakthrough.
It's the result of hundreds of small decisions made consistently over time.
Proud to see how far you've come, brother, and even more excited to see what's ahead.
Keep raising the bar brother Anurag Mishra ๐ฅ
Recently had the opportunity to visit Monk-E, one of India's leading talent management and influencer marketing companies.
What stood out wasn't just the scale of operations.
It was a reminder of how dramatically the marketing landscape has evolved.
A decade ago, brands competed for advertising space.
Today, they compete for attention.
And increasingly, that attention is being shaped by creators, communities, and culture.
Companies like Monk-E sit at the center of this transformation, helping brands and creators build meaningful relationships in an attention-driven economy.
As someone building in the media and personal branding space, it was fascinating to witness how the creator ecosystem is maturing and becoming a serious business engine for brands.
Grateful for the opportunity to visit, learn, and exchange perspectives.

Recently, I had the privilege to speak at the IIM Bangalore BBA (DBE) Founder Webinar on "How to Launch Your First Startup."
What made the session special wasn't only discussing funding, growth hacks, or business models.
It was the curiosity of the students.
The questions weren't about becoming rich overnight.
They were about taking the first step, validating an idea, finding customers, building with limited resources, and dealing with uncertainty.
And if there's one thing I wanted everyone to take away, it's this:
You don't need perfect conditions to start.
Most founders don't begin with a great network, funding, or a flawless plan.
They begin with conviction.
The journey of building Zedital Media has taught me that entrepreneurship is less about having all the answers and more about being willing to figure things out when nobody else can.
A special thank you to the IIM Bangalore BBA (DBE) Partnership Cell for the invitation and for creating opportunities that connect aspiring entrepreneurs.
And a huge shoutout to all the students who joined the webinar. Your energy, engagement, and questions made the session far more meaningful than any presentation ever could.
Looking forward to seeing many of you launch ventures of your own in the years ahead.
Because every successful startup was once just an idea that someone decided to act on.

When I started building Zedital Media, people saw it as just another media agency.
But I always believed the internet was changing faster than most businesses could understand.
Attention became the new currency.
Storytelling became the new distribution.
And personal brands started becoming stronger than company brands themselves.
Today, seeing Zedital Media featured in Forbesโ โLeading Entrepreneurs and Startups of India 2026โ feels surreal.
Not because itโs a headline.
But because it validates the vision we believed in long before it became mainstream.
This journey was never smooth.
There were moments of uncertainty, failed experiments, financial pressure, self-doubt, and days where nothing made sense except the vision in my head.
But entrepreneurship teaches you to keep believing before the world does.
Grateful to Forbes India for the recognition.
And grateful to every client, creator, founder, and team member who became part of this journey.
Weโre just getting started.
The next generation of brands will not just sell products.
They will own attention, culture, and communities.
Thatโs the future weโre building for.

The dangerous part about being a founder?
Nobody tells you when you're becoming emotionally numb. It happens slowly stress becomes your baseline, wins stop feeling like wins, and you stop sharing what you're carrying because everyone expects you to handle it.
One day you realize you're functioning perfectly on the outside while feeling disconnected inside. The world celebrates your resilience, but nobody talks about the cost of surviving in survival mode for too long.
Protect your mind with the same seriousness you protect your cash flow. A business recovers from bad quarters. Recovering yourself takes much longer.

Indiaโs next startup war will be in time-saving infrastructure.
Now people are paying to buy back time in a country where dual-income households and urban burnout are exploding.
The founder who owns convenience at home will own the next decade of Indian consumer internet.
India became obsessed with delivering convenience faster while the world focused on building AI, chips, and deep-tech infrastructure. Fast delivery is good business, but it is not nation-building. The future belongs to countries that own technology, not just consume it.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet Rajshri Rai and Sir Pradeep Rai Sr. Adv. What stayed with me most wasnโt just their success. It was how differently they think about life, growth and impact on lives.
