Deeply admire the resilience of doctors like my father (Dr. V Amitabh) who have been working nonstop to help India overcome this pandemic
He is over 60 and is grappling with multiple challenges. Despite that, he has been working 14+ hours every day to serve those in need
🧠 Students who are most certain about career paths at 20 are often ones with deep regrets at 30. They have not done enough rethinking.

1. Do great work, create value, and good things will happen.
2. Spend as much time as possible on things that give you energy.
3. Work at the intersection of (i) things you enjoy doing, (ii) things you’re good at, and (iii) things that other people want.

Basic Math and English skills decide who gets to be a manager in India. LOL!
In 2008, against 250,000 CAT applicants (a test for basic Math and English) in India, 800 get to be part of something called IIM.
No wonder the FOMO-inspired test-prep industry is on fire in India.
Happy 2023!
Be kinder than necessary, and start the next year with a clean slate.
Thanks to all who made 2022 special. More adventures to come in the year ahead.
Delighted to share that my brother Unnayan Amitabh will be embarking upon his MBA adventure at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business

He can of course work his magic in finance and math, but I am personally looking forward to the parties he will throw
Your 20s are the perfect time to do a few things that are unusual, weird, bold, risky, unexplainable, crazy, unprofitable, and looks nothing like “success.”
The less this time looks like success, the better it will be as a foundation. (1/2)
Thank you for kind words, Prime Minister
