Two Mamas-to-be at Vaksana Farms
Two of our cows at Vaksana Farms are pregnant. Unlike humans, where a pregnant mom is easily identifiable, cows don’t show a bulge. So, it’s a tad difficult to measure the delivery date. We are guessing at least one of the cows will deliver by this month end. There is a lot of excitement at home in anticipation of the new babies joining the family.
Wishing the Best for InterviewDesk on its Launch.
Today evening, I’m hosting and moderating the launch event of InterviewDesk, a marketplace which aims to be India’s largest community of interviewers. This is the entrepreneurial venture of Pichumani Durairaj, who comes with over 15 years of HR experience in companies such as Amazon and KLA Tencor.
It’s a fascinating experience to see the kind of planning and preparation that goes into the event. Multiple planning meets, conference calls, minute-by-minute scheduling, group updates over WhatsApp. This level of preparedness is a good indication of the attention to detail that will be invested in the new company.
Here’s wishing InterviewDesk and its team the very best.

Gearing up for Techspectations 2.0, Kerala’s Largest Digital Summit
As a professional speaker, one of the things that make you genuinely happy is when you get invited back again. Last year, I helped host Techspectations, Kerala’s largest Digital event. The event was a grand success and you know it in your bones even before you get feedback from the participants. Today, I was roped in to host the next edition taking place on February 2, 2018.
It was great meeting with Boby Paul, General Manager, Marketing at Malayalam Manorama Group to discuss how we can raise the bar for the next edition. Planning for bigger names, newer formats, greater interaction with the audience. Very excited for it.
