Chief Getting Hired Officer at Mind the Gap (Role Eliminated, 2025), Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, My role was eliminated in June 2025. While I hunt for my next mandate, I've used my time to stay close to the work and to push myself well outside it. The work (Valuecart, Aug to Sep 2025): Valuecart brings international brands with no local presence into Indias e-commerce and quick commerce market. I advised them on shaping their growth narrative and positioning their strengths and on setting up the growth function end to end, from process design to running it on Zoho. Experience sharing: The distance from work gave me a chance to look back at my career with fresh eyes. Writing here is how I make sense of it and hopefully pass something useful on to people facing the similar problems. Compounding insight: Reading voraciously and on purpose, across leadership, systems thinking, technology, history, psychology and spirituality. I collect ideas across fields on purpose, because the dots only connect if you've gathered enough of them. Ground truth (Jan 2026): Took a month long solo backpacking trip crossing India on a shoestring budget. Night buses, trains journeys, bus stands at 3am, meals wherever the road stopped. I realised how little one needs to function. I came back lighter, steadier and far more certain about what I want to do next. Skill acquisition (Oct 2026): Will spend a month at a traditional Kalaripayattu gurukul in Kerala, learning one of the worlds oldest martial arts from scratch. Looking forward to being a student and surrendering to a different kind of discipline. Taking on a challenge (Dec 2026): A half marathon on 20 December. Actively training. Whats next: None of this puts the job/mandate hunt on hold. I'm actively looking for my next role as the operator leader alongside a founder or leadership team, building the structure that turns ambition into execution. Available for conversations and interviews throughout.
