Opinions
- Not every product needs AI; it should be woven into the fabric, not treated as an add-on.
- Values before success: character and ethics are distinct from personality and honesty.
- Nagpur is a prime alternative to Tier-1 Indian metros due to infrastructure and lower congestion.
- Networking is a methodical process, not an accidental occurrence.
