Gautam Narula’s Post

Yesterday, I was in a cab, and the driver didn’t have change for ₹100, so I casually told him to keep it and give it to his sister. In turn his reply surprised me: “You are also my sister.” In a time when crimes against women are sadly all too common, it made me realize—if more people treated women with that kind of respect, we wouldn’t feel the need to share our location constantly just to feel safe. It was a small moment, but it really hit home. On a lighter note, I’ve been seeing some cool Raksha Bandhan campaigns, and Blinkit’s impactful approach really caught my eye. They’ve enabled international orders, so people living abroad can send rakhis to their siblings in India, and they’ll be delivered in just 10 minutes! The service is available in countries like the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Japan. The response has been awesome, with people loving the idea. This move not only broadens their customer base but also caters to the emotional needs of Indians living overseas who wish to stay connected with their loved ones during festivals ,effectively bridging local traditions with global accessibility. And speaking of Raksha Bandhan, reminds me of an incident ,when Alexander the Great was about to invade India, his wife Roxana sent a rakhi to King Porus, asking him not to harm her husband. Out of respect, Porus didn’t kill Alexander during their battle, which led to a lasting bond of mutual respect. It’s amazing how the spirit of Raksha Bandhan ;protection, respect, and care has been around for centuries and still resonates today. It’s a reminder that while technology keeps us connected, it’s the respect and humanity we show each other that really makes a difference. Here’s to celebrating Raksha Bandhan with a mix of tradition and modern convenience. #RakshaBandhan #Blinkit #FestivalSeason #Tradition #GlobalLove #Respect #Celebration #Connection #ModernConvenience #CustomerExperience

"Ambani doesn't need the West, the West needs the Ambanis!" I read this online & here are my thoughts🔽 The Ambanis' influence extends far beyond India. Their business acumen is admired globally. - Kim Kardashian and her sister's presence at the wedding was strategic, as their fame in North America can attract the Indian market. This move can be mutually beneficial. Imagine the reach of #KimXTiraBeauty or #KimXAjio! - Facebook India's gross ad revenue grew 13% last year, highlighting the potential for growth in the Indian market. India's growing startup scene makes a #JioXFacebook collaboration even more likely. Having Mark & his family for the Pre-Wedding is a No-Brainer. - This wedding, hosted by an Indian, is a testament to India's growing power on the world stage. The wedding guest list reflected India's growing global influence, with dignitaries from the UK, Canada, Tanzania, and the USA in attendance. What future collaborations between Indian and Western companies do you foresee? #AmbaniWedding #AnantAmbaniWedding

Ambani's recently spend 2500 cr on wedding and total of 5000 cr Imagine starting with just 5,000 rupees – barely enough for a month's groceries in many Indian households today. That's how Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's father, began his journey. With determination, business acumen, and perhaps a bit of luck, he turned that modest sum into the foundation of Reliance Industries, now one of India's largest conglomerates. Fast forward to today, and we see the Ambani family spending a staggering 5,000 crore rupees (50 billion rupees) on a wedding celebration. That's a million times more than Dhirubhai's initial investment! To put it in perspective, it's like turning a single rupee into 10 lakh rupees – an astronomical increase A perfect example that shows how can one person can change the whole life of his/her future generation What is the one true lesson from the Ambani Saga? Community. People grow when people become an enabler. Whether it is wealth, strength, power, even health, all things grow faster when there is an ecosystem to look after you, inspire you, make you grow. You may not be ‘born lucky’. May not have people with contacts as you were growing up. But you can try and build what you didn’t have. And it can enable you in ways you didn’t imagine. Community doesn’t mean pleasing everybody you meet. It doesn’t mean gelling with everybody. It simply means finding your tribe and growing alongside. Believe in the power of community. It can take you places.
