They Said Get Out of the Building. So We Did : TiE Bangalore

We found ourselves going beyond our comfort zone of warm connects networking to the larger world at the TiE Bangalore chapter …

It was …

…. heartening to see the numerous student startup initiatives there …. inspiring to see the journey of more established startups like EnableX who kindly hosted us … energising to be able to validate some of our thinking with other like minded companies and … reassuring to see we might be on the right track with our business model …

I’m in India until the new year trying to wind up our first AI Advisory engagement and also slot in some time for family, friends and cultural education for my 13 year-old …

In the ancient city of Varanasi … where even for a non-religious person like me, it was hard to not be moved by the multi-sensory experience of the morning and evening prayer ceremonies in front of the Ganges ..

The overwhelming combination of the incense, the vibrations of the temple bells, the drums, the chanting, the rhythmic synchronicity of the ritualistic movement of the priests and the energy of the thousands of people for a whole hour - all coming together like a hypnotic trance… willing you to say a prayer to the universe for our new baby venture & all our partners & all the dreamers out there who are working flat out 7 days a week - sending some positive energy yours and our way … 🙏♥️
