Fireside conversation with Kanwal Rekhi at TiE Chandigarh

Recently had a fireside conversation with Kanwal Rekhi at TiE Chandigarh.

What I valued most was not advice or frameworks, but perspective. When you have built and observed companies over long periods of time, you develop a different relationship with risk, patience, and decision making.

We spoke about choices that are easy to explain in hindsight but difficult to make in the moment. About how endurance, not speed, often defines outcomes. And about the importance of staying grounded as organisations grow and contexts change.

The Groundbreaker by Kanwal Reikhi reflects these lessons with rare honesty and depth. It’s not just a book about entrepreneurship, but about character, resilience, and building with intent. Highly recommended for anyone navigating leadership, growth, or change.

Grateful for the exchange and the opportunity to learn from lived experience.
