If you’re fighting inside, you’re not winning outside. I learnt this watching politics,  and then in my own factory. When energy goes into blame games and ego fights, the real competition outside doesn’t even matter. I’ve seen it in small ways: → An operator refusing to…

7 myths about family businesses that nearly everyone gets wrong. When I stepped into my own family business, I carried more myths than truths. From the outside, it looks cushioned. From the inside, you realise how little of that is real. 1. People assume trust is automatic.…

You realise how important your health is only when you lose it. A few weeks ago, I was really sick. Not the “push through and keep working” kind of sick, the kind that forces you to stop, no matter how much you want to continue. And the impact on business was immediate. •…

I shaved my beard. And people are losing their mind. From friends to family to even the factory floor the reactions have been the same: • “What have you done?” • “Why would you change this?” Funny thing is, it reminded me of what happens inside a business. Every time you…

No one told me B2B feels slow… until I lived it. When I first stepped into the business, I thought results would show up fast. Work hard. Pitch well. Deliver value. Simple. But B2B doesn’t move at that pace. The first deal I chased stretched for months. Endless follow-ups,…

Most lessons I use as a founder today came from my father, not a textbook. I grew up watching him work. The way he spoke to suppliers, how he handled setbacks, the discipline with which he ran the factory, those moments became my education. Three lessons stand out even today:…

No one teaches you how to lead your father. I was scrolling through my phone recently and noticed something. Most of my gallery isn’t filled with friends or holidays, it’s filled with my father. Photos from the factory floor. Screenshots from video calls. Moments where we’re…

You do not scale an MSME like a startup. And that’s okay. In a startup, speed is everything. In an MSME, stability is. Startups can raise funding to fix mistakes. MSMEs fix mistakes with their own money and their own sleepless nights. A startup can “pivot” when something…

Second-generation business leaders face a challenge no MBA covers: how do you change what your parents built without breaking what they created? There's no handbook for this. No case study. No playbook for telling the person who built everything from scratch that something might…

We went from a 25-year legacy manufacturing business to nothing overnight. Here's how we rebuilt without losing our minds. In 2021, a fire destroyed everything. 25 years of records. Machines. Systems. Gone. As a second-generation founder, I was staring at ash where our factory…

I had to fire someone who looked amazing in interviews, had stellar references, and even delivered good work. Here’s what happened: He joined us during a crucial rebuild phase. → Spoke well. → Got strong reviews. → Did the tasks he was given. But something was missing.…

I don’t always say I’m the founder. Why? People talk differently to the boss. I get better info by blending in. Humility isn’t just a virtue, it’s a business strategy.

Founders in family businesses aren't just managing a company. They're juggling roles. Owner. Leader. Son. The key? Shrink the “No Man’s Land” between them. Clarity starts there.

I never thought I’d be someone who keeps a diary. But after the fire, everything changed. When I joined the business during its lowest phase, my father said one thing over and over again: "Start writing. It’ll keep you sane." I tried writing in my phone, but it never stuck.…

You’ll never have full clarity. And that’s not a flaw; that’s just how entrepreneurship works. We keep waiting for the right numbers. The right timing. The right “feeling.” But here’s what I’ve realised: Not every decision needs to be perfect. It just needs to be…

Being in a sleep slump is the worst thing that can happen to an entrepreneur. Not funding issues. Not team problems. Not even delays. Just… waking up late. Because when your day starts late, You’re already behind. You’re not building. You’re not thinking. You’re just putting…

Quiet weeks mess with my head. Even when we’ve solved big problems… I feel like I’ve done nothing. Last month was exactly that. We weren’t stagnant. We fixed old issues. We streamlined internal problems. We cleared the clutter that’s been sitting for months. But my brain…

Running a family business means inheriting more than equity. You step into legacy, trust, unspoken mistakes, and unspoken expectations. You're not just leading but you're balancing being a founder and a son, a fresh mind and a familiar name. There's no playbook for this kind…

I grew up watching my father do everything. That’s exactly what I won’t do. He managed production, dealt with clients, handled accounts, fixed machines, hired people All at once. Every day. For years. It worked. But it also wore him down. There was no system. Only him. And…

Sometimes, I wonder what life would’ve looked like if I had taken the other path. A more “stable” one. A corporate role. A clear track and a fixed paycheck. That option was always there. But I chose this. The factory floor. The responsibility. The freedom to mess up and…
