I couldn't write, share or express myself on LinkedIn in 2024 like I did in the past 6 years since 2018.
Life changed alot in 2024,
I transitioned from being a founder to my first job ever at Scaler School of Technology
Moved away from home in Mumbai to Bangalore, the silicon valley of India.
Been through alot, after putting up a fight for several years being a founder, hustling to making things work and making the necessary sacrifices.
Suddenly there was a void, I had to recoup on the lost family time, friendships and health.
I met/helped 20+ founders this year, made real close friends with the boys at 8club - Kunal Yadav Madhur Rao Kaushal Chanani
I lucked out with a fantastic set of peers, managers and great culture at my new job, which ensured that I synced in really well with least friction.
But something in me was lost, felt really high inertia about being vocal about my thoughts on LinkedIn and expressing myself.
Felt like I have nothing more to add, share and struggled in articulation.
LinkedIn made me fall in love with writing, but in 2024 I fell out of love!
2025 is going to be different, I am facing immense internal resistance as I write this post, but 2025 is going to be all about reigniting my lost love for writing on LinkedIn.
This year I am going to reinvent myself!
- Write 3 times a week on LinkedIn
- Get really strong at Quant via DataCamp
(Statistics, Financial Modelling, Marketing Analytics)
- Invest heavily in personal relationships (attending 3 weddings this Q, more than I did in the last 3 years)
- Improve my health further - physical, mental, emotional & spiritual. More walks at Cubbon park!
- Launch my own short form video content series! Chandan Perla vyom bhatia take me under your wing!
- Last year helped 3 founders in their 0-1 journey, this year hoping to help 5 founders and invest more actively
- Catchup with people, more deeply and soon! So many catchup's pending!
- Get more actively involved in sports. Thanks to Ekata Singh Aditi Chopra Saurabh Bharuka this year will be sporty for me!
A special shoutout to Lubna Malhotra heet tike Tanya Desai for building communities to make Blr life fun and exciting for a newcomer like me.
Finally, extremely grateful for everyone on LinkedIn for being there for me always!
I am grateful that you all happen to be a part of my life in spirit, always cheering for me!
The best part of 2024 was a trip to Vietnam with my favorite human!
