The Only Right Thing About Forecasts Is That They Are Wrong

Another Day In My MBA — As I continue to battle balance sheets and mastering straight-line depreciation, I am taking a few minutes out to blog about the lecturer’s excellent observation last night. The only right thing about forecasts is that they are wrong. Granted he was referring to this solely in the context of zero-based…

Revenue Growth Is Exercise, Cost Savings Is Diet

You cannot outrun a bad diet — Things are so bad out there that even Bezos is asking us to hold on to our cash. I spent close to a year in #LockdownLife exercising hard — weights, 10k steps a day, pushups, and yoga. I psyched myself every morning and ended the day, curled up in bed…

5 Soft Skills To Ignite Your Career

Leverage these, showcase your value, and make bank — Success isn’t a job offer. Nor is it all the wealth in the world. Or the best health. Or the best family. It’s all of them and none of them.

What Telcos Do When You Sleep

The world of telecom redundancy is a grand ballet of project management, technical expertise, and grit. — When you’re cruising the internet at 2 AM, did you ever stop to think that you’re smoothly “surfing the web” because a bunch of ‘Telecom Ninjas’ are fiercely guarding your uninterrupted browsing experience?

The Ideal Career That’s Just Out of Grasp

Why the ‘3P’ approach is my ticket to professional nirvana. — Buckle up, this gets real personal real fast. Here’s me: an Irish-Indian hybrid accent, an upbringing seeped in Indian culture yet nuanced by Irish sensibilities, and an education shaped by the gutter-poetry-sophistication of London.

Excuse Me While I Fix Your Internet

Telco is anything but ordinary — and that’s what makes it extraordinary. — Picture this: A world where every day at work is a chance to learn something new, face a challenge, and grow both personally and professionally.

The Price of Air: The Economics of Wireless Spectrum

$160k to binge-watch “The Witcher”? — Wireless technologies, from 2G to 5G, are the invisible threads that weave our hyper-connected world together. Yet, these spectrums are far from cheap.
