I went to a Haas Energy Club (BERC) event yesterday. I suddenly realized that I am on the other side of the table now – instead of talking to people “in the industry”, I belong to it and was supposed to impart wisdom to students who are still trying to make a switch to renewable [...]

I wanted to share a few things that helped me in my search to switch to clean energy. Broadly, I’ll consider them three twists to well-known strategies.
1) Long-term focused networking: I attended events, conferences and talks pretty regularly in the last couple of years. These days I am running into the same people on [...]

This is a widely circulated video and speech – Steve Jobs speaking at Stanford commencement in 2005. I recently saw it again. Just thought I’ll share with any visitors who might not have seen it. It’s one of the most inspirational speeches I have heard. Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Starting next week, I’ll be interning with a company exploring concentrated solar thermal technology. To say that I am excited would be a massive understatement….but I’ll say anyway “I AM EXCITED!!!”
I have been wanting to get into clean energy or more like environmental businesses since let’s say since I graduated from IITB. But the desire [...]

I was at a solar thermal conference today (why? …well later about that…), and was thoroughly annoyed by some things about presentations and the conference. Listing them down here……to get them out of my system…
1) Cellphones…….why can’t people turn them off, even after constant repetition?? Why are they always on for the people whose ringtones [...]

OK, so here’s a belated post.
I took the Pricing class with Prof. Azhar during the summer break. I write about it now, because I highly recommend taking “Pricing” before finishing your MBA. It’s an elective, and some people tend to think its for folks pursuing marketing/entrepreneurship concentration. But irrespective of the major, it is one [...]

So I was at Target today (the first set of baby clothes – gifts from parents, shower, etc seem have run out). I was in the isle which had the bulk infant clothes sets like 6 pairs of socks, 3 onesies, 4 pants, etc. I noticed how neatly the isle was split into pink and [...]

OK, this was one of the courses which I was looking forward to from my first day in the business school.
Many people take this course in their last semesters, after finishing all the foundational courses. I took it after finishing half my credits. My rationale was that if the business idea I work on, finds [...]

OK…I am going to write in detail about this course later….but getting to business right now.

Since starting my MBA, I have had an increased appreciation ( or shall I call dawning) of how businesses and business interactions are not linear. Although this was not completely surprising, it was surprising to see how full areas of studies have been developed for understanding this. I came across this in organization behavior, marketing [...]
