Here is the short-doc.
It’s been a long time since I wrote anything here on Substack. How have you been? How has the year been? For me an important thing that happened was…
I moved on from my own company that I started in 2021 with my IIT batchmate as a co-founder.
Why? I came to a clear conclusion: my co-founder was not the kind of person I wanted in my life as a co-founder. Some personalities are just not suitable to play certain roles. In contrast, every other role that we played in each other’s lives up until this point (for over a decade) was pretty nice and sweet. I guess the co-founder role just brings out a totally different aspect of one’s personality. And if a fit is not there, it’s not there.
I have been obsessed with storytelling & communication for a long time now. And that doesn’t change. But there is a lot of adaptation that I need to do. That I have been doing. It’s also been many months of greiving. Many months of persistent efforts at just holding myself together. For three years, I put so much of personal, emotional and social capital into building the earlier company that both the mind and the body took their own time to settle down to the new way of doing things. Though I think, I am finally settling down. Will come back later to share more on the work front and about the new storytelling & communications agency that I am building for tech companies.
This year, I also went for a short trip to Japan. Just some family time.
Anyway, so how have you been? How has the year been? And what did you think of the short-doc?
