Where else I publish
The Entrepreneur’s Mind runs on LinkedIn, where the essays reach a little over twenty-six thousand followers. Recent pieces include The Space Between Chapters, From Freedom Won to Future Built, The Journey Between the Headlines, Tech Is Now the Cheap Part and The Generalist’s Decade Has Arrived. Most also appear on Medium, which is where the list above comes from.
The rest is scattered across the trade and startup press rather than collected anywhere: blogs at The Times of India, columns at YourStory, insurtech pieces at Business Today, and bylines at Tech in Asia and SiliconIndia from the Artivatic years. Each link above goes to the archive itself rather than to a selected piece, because the selection would say more about what I want read than about what I wrote.
