Lacoste temporarily gave up its most recognisable symbol, and that made people want the brand even more. 🐊
By turning its iconic crocodile into a symbol of conservation, Lacoste created a campaign that was rare, meaningful, and impossible to ignore.
Sometimes, the smartest branding move is to talk about something bigger than yourself.

From sleeping on the streets of Hyderabad to building a brand synonymous with Irani chai, Café Niloufer’s journey is a powerful lesson in resilience, consistency, and building around what customers already love.
Sometimes, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. You just need to make the right thing unforgettable.
Mercedes is no longer just selling cars. With its new Studio in Gurugram, the brand is creating a lifestyle experience where cars, fashion, F1, design, merchandise, and even coffee come together under one roof.
Those turquoise cabs across Delhi NCR aren’t just taxis. They’re a moving showroom for VinFast.
Every ride becomes a real-world product experience, while the cars also give the company valuable insight into how the EV market works on the ground.

He started by cleaning tables at a café, and years later, he bought it.
Last week, after three days of teaching Financial Modeling at ISB Hyderabad, I sat down at Cafe Niloufer for their iconic Irani Chai and Bun Maska. ☕
Behind that cup is one of the most powerful entrepreneurial stories I know.
In the mid-1970s, A. Babu Rao came to Hyderabad from a small village in Adilabad with very little money. He joined Niloufer Cafe as a cleaner and waiter. Then he learned the kitchen. By 1978, he was managing the entire café, and in 1993, he bought the full rights with his own savings.
What stands out isn't just the journey from employee to owner. It's the way he built business knowledge before building the business.
He understood the customers, the kitchen, the service, the product. And eventually, the business behind all of it.
It made me think about how unpredictable a journey can be. When you're starting out, you rarely know where the road is going to take you.
A job that looks ordinary today can teach you things that become invaluable years later.
You never know what life is quietly preparing you for.
Keep learning and keep showing up. And never let where you are today limit what you believe you can build tomorrow. Because sometimes, the person you are today is only the beginning of who you can become.
Apple launched the iPhone Duo, and within minutes, other brands were finding creative ways to make the conversation about themselves.

Sometimes, life doesn’t give you what you planned for. It gives you something you never imagined.
I once dreamed of studying at ISB. I never imagined I’d get the chance to walk onto that campus as a trainer, teaching financial modeling and valuation.
Three days. Six hours of training. New connections. Early morning walks. A little Hyderabad exploration. And a whole lot of memories.
Maybe some dreams don’t come true exactly the way we imagine them. Maybe they come true in a completely different form.
And somehow, that makes the journey even more special. ❤️

UPI changed the way India pays. Now, the next step is making the ecosystem stronger and more sustainable.
The new MDR framework may mean a cost for certain larger merchant transactions, but it also raises an important question: can this help fund the infrastructure, security, and scale needed for UPI’s next phase?
For millions of businesses, UPI has already made payments faster, simpler, and more accessible.
Now the focus is on building an ecosystem that can keep growing.
Do you think this is the right step for the future of UPI?
