There couldn’t have been a better conversation to have on 15th
August — India’s 80th Independence Day. 🇮🇳
I got the opportunity to attend
a fireside chat with Sanjay Agarwal, Founder, MD
& CEO of AU SMALL FINANCE BANK , and while I
walked in expecting to learn about banking, I walked out thinking about something
much bigger.
What does it really take to build for Bharat?
We spoke
about banking, AI, risk, the future of work, India’s growth and the responsibility
our generation carries as we build what comes next.

6 days into PGC Bharat Masters'
Union orientation, and I still can’t decide whether I joined a master’s
program or a startup running on caffeine and ambition.
From hearing
leadership lessons from Manoj Kohli sir (ex
Airtel & SoftBank) and Rajiv Gupta sir (ex
Honda & RIL), to Bhupesh Manoharan sir
questioning whether “my boy Pratham even knows he has the need to live” while
pulling my nose… safe to say the learning here is very hands-on. 💀
And
somewhere between Pratham Mittal connecting
Jagriti Yatra vibes with PGC Bharat, and honestly admitting that “30% things will go
great, 40% as expected, and 30% utter....

Day 1 at Masters' Union and
it already feels very different from a traditional MBA.
I officially began my
journey with the PGC Bharat program, a course built around one core idea:
Don’t
just study business in classrooms learn it on the ground, across India.
🇮🇳
Today’s orientation was packed with energy, curiosity, and conversations
that genuinely challenged the way I think about learning and
building.
Hearing insights from Pratham
Mittal and Manoj Kohli was a...

“The more I lose myself, the more I find myself.”
Nand Kishore Chaudhary (NKC), lovingly known as
Bhaisabh Ji said this somewhere during our conversation, and I remember writing it
down immediately.
I understood it a little better Bhaisabh Ji (NKC) began
telling us his story.
Jaipur Rugs started with a ₹5,000 loan from his father,
two looms and nine artisans. But when he spoke about everything that came after, he
kept coming back to people.
Especially women.

We’re taught to move fast and break things.
But Nand Kishore Chaudhary (NKC) Sir built a global
luxury powerhouse with $80, a single loom, and a completely opposite philosophy:
Radical Empathy.
Today, Jaipur Rugs empowers 40,000+ rural artisans
across 600+ villages.
Here are 3 core founder lessons from NKC’s
playbook:

Every sports brand wants to become a lifestyle brand. NIVIA is
choosing not to.
And that made me think:
Is staying focused actually a
weakness or the strongest positioning strategy a brand can have?
During our
interaction with NIVIA, one thing became clear: the brand is making some deliberate
choices.
While the market is filled with celebrity endorsements, lifestyle
positioning, and aspirational branding, NIVIA’s philosophy is different:
Every PGC Bharat cohort brings together learners from diverse geographies, industries and experiences creating a classroom that's as varied as the country itself.
