I am salaried and pay slightly above 30% of my CTC in direct tax. I don’t have any option to stop this. So 1/3 of the salary is already gone before I get it.

Now with the 2/3, I have to pay indirect taxes.
18% GST on Services,
28% GST on Consumer Electronics,
80% plus on Fuel,
10-20% on Capital Gains,
5-12% on almost all the items that I use.
This burden is on everybody in the country.

So if I’m working for 22 days a month, atleast 12 days of it goes for government/nation building and 10 days is for me.

What we get in return,
1. Scared of a society to raise voice against bullying,
2. ⁠Murders gets free by writing apology letter,
3. ⁠Rich get richer and poor gets poorer,
4. Prices of all necessity items sky rocketing,
5. A Nation worried about Hindu-Muslim and not growth.

India’s dream of being a $30 trillion economy by 2047, will only materialize if India takes care of the human capital and make common man feel safe to exhibit his democratic rights.

I cleared engineering with 52.7%. I got placed in Amazon with this aggregate in a walk-in interview. I came out of Amazon as a Program Manager in the Retail Category Team working with amazing colleagues from all the top institutions of India.

I now head a vertical in Ninjacart. Still working with amazing colleagues.

Numbers and pedigree do not define anyone. It is the character that matters, and the mind that is willing to learn from anyone and everything.

Always keep in mind “You are the Best”.

If your dad calls you and asks you to take two days off, please take it and go home.

Your job, promotion, projects, and submissions will all be there when you return. Your career milestones can wait, but precious family moments can't. Prioritize what truly matters before it is too late.

Dear HRs,

Don’t reject candidates for basic reasons like salary expectations and notice periods after 4 rounds of interviews. Respect candidates' time by asking these basic questions during the screening round, not after wasting 6 weeks of their time!
