Cryptocurrency is nascent and hot at the moment. I expect the hotness to continue for another 10 years at the minimum. Within these 10 years, great wealth will be made by those who understand the trend and play along or those who just got lucky. That’s one part of the story of the next 10 […]
As I got my offer letter to join PwC in 2018, one of the first things that came to my mind was how to grow my network within the firm. Because as we would later be told, PwC is a congregation of the best and brightest. So I couldn’t get it off my mind thinking […]

The new definition of value motivated Kevin Kelly in 2008 to write a 6,000 words (estimate) essay, 1,000 True Fans. The essay became a template for […]

I grew up understanding the language of money and my curiosity led me to the art of investing early as well. I started investing (in the stock market) in 2017.
