Investing
Here’s a mini-site that distills 15 years of thinking about how best to invest & participate in India’s growth story.

Archimedes supposedly said “Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth”. I see better parenting as the lever that reshapes our shared collective present and future.
Wisdom from our elders, or from those who are simply wiser than us in so many ways.
