50 days ago, I started my journey at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. After 8+ years in the music industry, composing for shows like Kota Factory and Operation MBBS, and building my own studio, I decided to hit pause and pivot.

50 days ago, I started my journey at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. After 8+ years in the music industry, composing for shows like Kota Factory and Operation MBBS, and building my own studio, I decided to hit pause and pivot.

In just a few weeks, I’ve learned how to read balance sheets and income statements, understand microeconomics (yes, even Adam Smith), run regressions, and even optimize a shop floor. It’s been intense but incredible Term 1.

Is it because the most brilliant minds in the country are teaching me? Or the fact that the future leaders of this nation are sitting with me in the same class? It’s probably both or as we like to say, “It depends!”

Honestly, I am incredibly grateful for the work ethic and resilience that my music journey has given me. I feel like it’s prepared me for this exact moment. Taking a short break from music is hard, but it’s helping me push and grow in ways I didn’t know I needed to.

If you’re rooting for someone who’s rebuilding and reshaping their career, thank you. Term 1 is done. More learning, and probably more LinkedIn posts to come. Why? Because there is so much you can learn about B2B SaaS from eating shitty lunch at Kamala mess and this is the only place I can share it.
