How Sales Automation Helps Teams Close More Deals Faster
Sales is perhaps THE most important aspect of a business. It’s the pillar your company stands on. However, today most sales reps spend only about 28% of their time actually selling. Menial tasks like data entry consume the rest: scheduling, writing follow-up emails, updating records, and other tasks. This gap costs companies a lot of…
The Birth of Formula One and the Making of a Billion-Dollar Sport
A former RAF airfield in England. Wooden grandstands. The king and queen in the front row. And 21 drivers are set to do something no one has done before. This was May 13, 1950, at Silverstone. The first ever meeting of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile’s (FIA) Formula One World Championship. There was no TV…
From boAt to OffBeat Studios: Aman Gupta’s New Creative Venture
In March 2026, Aman Gupta, Co-Founder and the driving force behind boAt’s rise as one of India’s most recognisable consumer-tech brands, stepped back from his daily operations at Imagine Marketing, which is gearing up for an IPO.

Leadership Lessons from Jensen Huang
In 1993, three engineers were sitting at Denny’s in San Jose, dreaming up concepts that didn’t really have any market, customers, or purpose. One of them was Jensen Hunag. To build at NVIDIA was not only to build a company, but also a new way of thinking about computers. NVIDIA is at the heart of…
Oil, Ghost Ships, and the Collapse of Sanctions Enforcement
Somewhere in the Gulf of Oman, a tanker with no credible owner, no recognisable insurer, and a name freshly painted over a previous identity is transferring a cargo of crude oil from one vessel to another. No port authority is watching. The AIS transponder, the maritime equivalent of an aircraft’s black box, is either switched…
Why Capability Building Beats Cost-Cutting Every Time
Cost-cutting may offer short-term relief, but its true cost becomes clear over time. McKinsey 2025 found that companies that rely heavily on cost reductions often experience margin erosion within 12 to 18 months. It’s like ‘Corporate Keto’: leaner balance sheets garner applause from the board, yet lack genuine strength. This illusion of efficiency is further…
The Velocity of Certainty and the Art of Smart Decisions
Forget strategy decks. The real moment of action happens in a split second when a leader must choose to open a door that might never present itself again. In 2026, it’s speed that determines who survives and who declines. A McKinsey Global Survey 2026 shows that companies capable of making rapid, high-quality decisions outpace their…
Why the Best CEOs Think in Decades, Not Quarters
Most CEOs find themselves trapped within a 90-day cycle, reacting relentlessly to immediate pressures. They wake up to dashboards filled with targets, tirelessly chasing numbers, plugging leaks, with each decision a reaction rather than a strategic move. Picture one leader feverishly patching cracks in a dam labelled Q3 Targets, while another stands on a hill,…
Why Flawed CEO Succession Planning Destroys Long-Term Value
The CEO is working tirelessly, and the latest numbers paint a picture of success. The market responds positively. Yet beneath this surface, the machinery isn’t truly moving forward. Most succession failures don’t erupt from crises but stem from complacency. According to PwC’s 2025 Annual Corporate Directors Survey, nearly 60% of directors lack confidence in their…
How Policy Loopholes Increase Fraud Risk and Undermine Workplace TrustÂ
The tiniest loophole in a company’s policies can open the door for a potential threat that can affect the whole organisation. At first, these minor ‘loopholes’, the ambiguous wording, inconsistent application and lack of monitoring systems can seem unimportant. But they can help employees cheat, skewer results and create distrust such as expense fraud, time…
