#ProfessionalExcellence #Research #ThinkT "Do what you love and love what you do" is a motto I choose to live by. With some latency, but with much joy I am sharing more context to what you see as ”THINKT” next to my name here, on LinkedIn, since January 2024. THINKT is a new chapter in my professional journey, powered by my passion for #research and #evidence-based decision making alongside some truly exceptional colleagues: Adela Fofiu, Ph.D., Adrian Petrice, PhD, Marius Zirbo and Mircea Mesesan! Together, we're diving headfirst into this endeavour fuelled by authenticity, #integrity, and a relentless pursuit of #excellence. I like to call us a ”research powerhouse”. But it's not just about doing research, it's about putting research in service of thoughtful #decisions, #policies, #strategies. It's also about communicating science in a way that turns your great ideas into even greater questions and then into truly impactful #results. I couldn't be more excited to collaborate with people whose #values align so closely with my own. It's refreshing to be part of a team where trust, work #ethics and care for #quality are more than just buzzwords—they're the foundation of everything we do. As we embark on this adventure, I'm filled with belief and enthusiasm for the incredible #impact we'll create together. Stay tuned for updates as we combine our talents, passion, and unwavering dedication to achieve and deliver greatness. Here's to authenticity, integrity, and the exciting journey ahead!

5,000 users and counting (upwards to several hundred thousands more) on FernGlasz... It's been a journey, and while there has been a lot of action till date - it's just the beginning for us! At this time, my mind goes to the initial days when many said that it won't take off at all - some even challenged to get to 300+.... But the grit & determination of team FernGlasz has been phenomenal. Commitment of each team member to the mission of solving end-to-end for early career talent (from up-skilling to the 1st job) has been stuff of legends. I can't thank them enough for having done what they have done till date, and continuing to push the boundaries every day! We have deliberately kept the platform curated (and intend to continue doing so) as it allows us to have the product ready before scaling up and also figure out what works from GTM standpoint at every stage. If we had opened the platform to everyone on day 1, we have no doubts that we would have scaled beyond 100K+ users very quickly - but then delivering 1st rate experience is the only metric that we judge ourselves against. And for that, we will continue to open up & scale as and when the product is ready for that stage. For now, three cheers to the 1st 5,000 users! Note: I would like to invite all companies to try out FernGlasz for their intern/full-time hire requirements from college campuses. Log on to www.fernglasz.com to get started!

Every picture tells a story, and behind every photo is a unique perspective. This image represents a significant moment for me – not just because I was taking a photo, but because it symbolizes the power of technology in connecting us and preserving our cherished memories. In my role at Nulands Limited, I have the privilege of witnessing and documenting countless moments that define our journey. From team milestones to personal achievements, each snapshot is a reminder of our growth, resilience, and the bonds we build along the way. This particular photo was taken during a luncheon with Narok investors, where we listened to diverse and inspiring stories. It was a day filled with knowledge, insights, laughter, and powerful information, and I wanted to ensure that these moments were captured and shared with all of you. As we move forward, let’s continue to embrace the power of visuals to tell our stories, connect with each other, and inspire those around us. Here’s to many more moments worth capturing! 📷 #storybehindthepicture #momentsmatter #teamwork #innovation #technologyinaction #memories

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share my insights from the recent fellowship session at Growjunction, where we had an engaging discussion. 1. Identifying Key Variables: Pinpointing the crucial factors impacting the situation. Whether it's market size, growth rates, or user behavior, understanding these variables forms the foundation for accurate estimation. 2. Refining Assumptions: Acknowledging assumptions and to iterate on them. Constantly refining these assumptions based on available data or logical reasoning. This helps in creating more realistic and precise estimates. 3. Data-Driven Approximations: Utilizing available data intelligently. Whether it's through analogous situations, industry benchmarks, or rough calculations. Big thanks to Picasso Sengupta who made the session interactive and gave various insights on the Guesstimates arena. #growjunction #fellowgrowjunction #managementconsulting
