Not every email mistake is innocent, some are just careless. We’ve all seen it: An email sent to 10+ people, and everyone’s kept in the TO field. It’s one thing when a fresher or a job seeker does it, they might genuinely not know how “To,” “CC,” and “BCC” work. But when it comes from a sales rep or a professional representing a company, it’s not a mistake anymore, it’s carelessness. It happened to me recently. A freelancer reached out, and instead of using BCC, kept 8–10 email addresses in the TO field. Every single recipient could see everyone else’s email ID. And just when I thought it was a one-off error… she did it again. At that point, instead of ignoring it, I decided to take ownership and educate the sender politely. I wrote a simple, respectful email explaining why this approach is incorrect and how it exposes people’s privacy. (Basically, what you see in the image below.) Sometimes, it’s not about calling someone out, it’s about helping them do better next time. Because professionalism isn’t just about how we speak or dress. It’s also about how we communicate digitally.

Honestly, tried hiring recently and the kind of emails people send and the way they send it is just mind blowing. They don't even have the basics clear.

Great UI/UX isn’t just seen… it’s felt. It’s not just about looks. It’s about how it makes you feel when you use it. What was the last app you used that made you say, “Wow, this is smooth!”?

It’s funny how people complain about not winning. Step 1: Keep going until it works. Step 2: When it finally works, go faster. It's that simple.

This reply made me smile 😊 A few days ago, I shared an email I had sent to someone who added 8-10 people in the TO field while sending a cold email, instead of using BCC. It wasn’t meant to call anyone out, it was meant to *educate.* Yesterday, I

Founders, don’t send your deck first. I’ve helped founders raise crores. The most painful mistake? Sending the deck too early. A deck is NOT an invitation. It’s a confirmation. > Investors don’t open cold PDFs. They open conversations. Instead:

Confused about a decision? Ask: Will I regret this in 10 years? If yes, don't do it. If you do it anyway — it's not a mistake. It's a choice.

In 2015, Ratan Tata admitted his greatest mistake in his 53-year-long career: Branding the Tata Nano as the "cheapest" instead of the most "affordable" car. For most Indians, owning a car is a luxury. Labelling it a "cheap car" ended up losing the
