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.

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!”?

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

When you think about advertising, what comes to mind? For me, it’s a mix of emotions—sometimes it’s that one ad that tells a great story, connects deeply, and stays with you. Other times, it’s just noise, fighting for attention in a world that’s alr

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:

You’ll judge me for this… but I always notice. Whenever I visit an office, a hotel, or even someone’s home, my eyes automatically scan for one thing. A glowing light in an empty room. A fan spinning with no one underneath. An AC humming while the w
