Your team is afraid to take risks. How can you shift their mindset towards embracing failure for innovation?

Let’s stop using words like ‘risks’ or ‘failures’.. all great work, all innovation happens with a sense of play. Not with this pressure of achieving something.

Start small – tiny experiments where stakes are low. One video, one campaign, one crazy idea at a time. Build confidence through small wins.

Make it a game – every week, try something nobody’s done before. Celebrate the experiments, not just the outcomes. Document learnings, build on what works.

The more your team gets comfortable with experimenting, the more natural innovation becomes. It’s like muscle memory – the more you play, the better you get.

Bottom line? Create that safe space for play first. Innovation follows. All the best

Grateful ☺️

Grateful to read this.. that line about helping the younger version of you, it came from a place of truth. A decade back, travelling in trains, I was that person – figuring things out, looking for guidance. Today when I speak or write, it’s for that version of me, and everyone else on that journey.

Remembering where we started keeps us real, keeps us creating value. That’s the kind of world we want to live in, need to build – where everyone lifts everyone up :)

Thanks for the kind words. But more importantly, thanks for highlighting why we do what we do – to help others find their path faster than we did.

We long for it, yet we avoid it.. how strange.

Be it creativity, joys, love, peace or freedom – the very things we seek, we delay. I procrastinated for a year and a half to make my first video which went viral.. it was an accident.

To create was a dream I was carrying, a desire I was chasing for a long time.

Only thing which stopped me.. perfection.

What the journey has taught me.. It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress.

All we need is one tiny step. One tiny step. One tiny step today, even if it’s five minutes.. because five minutes every day and after a week you’ll be further ahead than you were all this time waiting and avoiding.

5 minutes today.

Fast, Cheap & Viral masterclass at Adda247

Had an incredible time with the ‘Fast, Cheap & Viral’ masterclass at Adda247 last week.. YouTube creators, teachers, marketing teams – all working to help millions prep for their dreams, in the heartland.. in their language, in their way.. the biggest ed-tech in India for regional learning..

Every session is enriching for me to learn more about different audiences, in this case.. a very different world.. a very different reality.. yet connected by the same thread

Thank you Swapnil Tripathi and Parivartan for making this happen, looking forward to the collaboration
