The Credibility Edge: Validating Decisions in an AI World.

Invitation: Why the C-Suite Needs Analyst Relations Now

We have enough data. What enterprise buyers lack today is trust.

While AI provides quick answers, it cannot provide the risk mitigation that comes from a trusted analyst.

On Sunday, February 1, 2026, I am discussing this shift with Sneha Kapoor (Kea Company). We will focus on how to use Analyst Relations to build the credibility that actually closes deals in a noisy market.

How the World Measures Happiness (It’s Not Just About Smiling)

I recently read a fascinating piece by Maham Javaid in the Washington Post analyzing the World Happiness Report . The report, produced by the Wellbeing Research Center at Oxford and the UN, looks beyond GDP to find what actually drives life satisfaction. I've always held the philosophy that happiness should be a state of mind—something that shouldn't depend on others. But I admit, that is difficult to adhere to. It's hard to stay internally happy when you don't receive kudos for extra effort, or when you find yourself analyzing praise to see if it was just an afterthought. While my own philosophy has always been that happiness shouldn't depend on others, the data suggests that for most of the world, happiness is inherently social. Here is what the top-ranking countries teach us: 🇫🇮 Finland: Material Security Finland takes the top spot, but not because they are outwardly the "happiest" people. It's about anxiety reduction.

The Philosophy of the Push: A Small Observation on Indian Doorways

The Philosophy of the Push: A Small Observation on Indian Doorways There is a specific moment of low-stakes confusion that happens when you travel. You approach a shop door, your muscle memory engages, you grab the handle to pull—and your arm jerks to a halt. The door doesn't budge. You look up, and there it is, often taped right next to a digital payment sticker: a sign that says PUSH. ❖ The Muscle Memory of Safety If you live in the West, your muscle memory is trained to "pull to enter" almost any commercial building. This isn't just a design quirk; it's usually a legal requirement born out of historical tragedy. Fire codes in the US and Europe dictate that exterior doors must swing outward—in the direction of egress. The logic is grim but sound: if a crowd inside panics and rushes the exit, their collective body weight should push the door open, not seal it shut. So, when I travel back to India, and I see doors like the one below, my Weste...

Changing Dreams and Crossing Off Your Bucket List

There are moments in life when you hear something and your mind subconciously thinks about being in that place. I firmly believe that these subconcious thoughts plays a role in your life and the decisions you make. Make sure you have the time to dream, switch off from everything a couple of times a day to let your dreams free, thrive on imagination and your dreams will come true. Kitty Hawk Sitting cross-legged on the floor listening to a lesson or maybe even a wooden bench in elementary scholl, the memory and description of the first flight from Kitty Hawk is vivid in memory. Years later the visit to Kitty Hawk would connect with that memory and another bucket list item crosssed off. Hey there is a beach and a lot of water close by to add to the vacation. Picasso, Gaugin, Van Gogh and Renoir I do not possess much knowledge of the arts but having heard of all these great masters, I was fortunate enough to see their works of art in the National Gallery of Art.
