Abhishek Rai is writing on the Svbtle. December 10, 2014. Secret Of Overnight Success. Overnight success is a scam. The idea of instant greatness, richness and fame lures many. A philosopher said that life is a pathless land. Similarly building a business, big or small, also is a pathless land. A bullion dollar sports apparel brand. Leave Silicon Valley Alone.

Abhishek Rai is writing on the Svbtle. July 19, 2014. What’s a brand? Three words maketh that question. Today I came across a post by Ashish Sinha of Next Big What. He writes, You Know You Are A Brand When You Are Part of Conversations. On reading the post I asked him what about other brands which are not as big as Facebook, Google or Apple? He answered that the rest are utilitarian brands and not part of everyone’s life. It got me thinking. I looked around. So, what is a brand? I recently launched Build...

Abhishek Rai is writing on the Svbtle. January 28, 2014. Are Community Managers Dipshits? Long story short: A blogger picks up seven random examples. From the brand pages, writes witty comments on them and declares that the entire social media thinks that customers have the power of the baked potatoes. He also cites the example of an ad man, who taught him that one should always think of customers as smarter than themselves. Profound words of wisdom.

Abhishek Rai is writing on the Svbtle. January 16, 2014. How to stumble upon your passion and then work of your choice? Both may be different. It’s always fascinating to watch Steve Jobs’ videos. Most of us must remember his Stanford speech, where he stresses to follow one’s passion. Listening to him one tends to believe (a good example of reality distortion field) that finding one’s passion and pursuing it will be an easy task. Well, it is definitely not easy, it is hard. Find your passion in 4 Steps.

Abhishek Rai is writing on the Svbtle. March 28, 2014. If you only do one thing, do this. Immediately after every lecture, meeting, or any significant experience, take 30 seconds no more, no less to write down the most important points. If you always do just this, said his grandfather, and even if you only do this, with no other revision, you will be okay. Not all that technology replaces is obsolete.
