If no one saw your wins this week... did they even happen? 

You fixed things no one understood. 
You juggled chaos and made it look easy. 
You held it all together, again. 

But here’s the thing: 
If no one knows what you’re doing... 
they won’t value what you’re doing. 

This is where smart IT pros get stuck. 
You think your work should speak for itself. 
It won’t. 

Visibility ≠ vanity. 
It’s positioning. 
And it’s how people get promoted, poached, and paid more. 

So if you crushed it this week? 
Say something. 
Post the win. 
Share the lesson. 
Drop the insight. 

The work matters. 
But so does being seen.

Sometimes it’s just... going through the motions without feeling valued.

You still hit your deadlines. You still show up to meetings. You still say, “Yeah, all good” when people ask how work is.

But underneath:

· Work feels flat

· You’re tired even when you’re “not that busy”

· You’ve stopped expecting anything to change

That’s not laziness. That’s what it looks like when you’ve outgrown your role, but stayed anyway.

For a lot of experienced IT professionals I speak to, burnout isn’t about workload alone. It’s about:

· Doing work that’s below your capability

· Feeling invisible

· Knowing you’re capable of more, but not sure how to move up

If this hits a little too close to home, don’t ignore it. Burnout is often a signal, not a life sentence.

The real question is: are you under-resourced... or under-valued and under-positioned?

If this feels familiar and you’d like a brief self-assessment to clarify your next move, send me a DM and I’ll share it with you.

"Everything looked fine on paper… but I wasn’t happy.”


Sachin said this on our call recently.

Over 8–9 weeks in our Career Accelerator Program, he did the inner work most of us avoid:

- Clarified values, identity, and what truly matters
- Unpacked old conditioning and unhelpful patterns
- Reframed career, relationships, and self through a new lens
- Practised tools to handle interview anxiety and show up with calm confidence

Huge shout-out to Piers Cousins for being that trusted guide - showing up as a coach and a friend. 

And to our community for the safe space to share vulnerabilities and feel a real sense of belonging.

Sachin Raj’s words at the end say it all:
“I’m in a much better place. I’m happy I made this step.”

Great work mate - proud of you!

If you’re “fine on paper” but not fulfilled there’s a better way to show up for yourself and the people you love.

 Send me a message for a chat if you are curious.

Most people slow down towards December. 

If you want to stand out – use this time to your advantage 
 
At the end of the year I always hear the phrase “Let’s talk in the new year.” 

That’s exactly why I tell my clients to stay moving while others stop! 

Yes- rest matters. Family matters. 
And... this is when hiring managers and recruiters finally have space to reply. 

When Noise drops, Visibility rises. 
 
Fewer roles may be advertised, but the conversations now become the interviews in January. 

Going against the status quo doesn’t mean grinding. 
It means being present when everyone else disappears. 

A short note to a past colleague. 

An end-of-year coffee. 

A post that reminds people what you solve.

Don’t vanish. Get visible.

Slowing down into Christmas?
Waiting to "start fresh in the new year?" - there's a better way.

If you’re stuck in a role you’ve outgrown, or you still don’t have a role - 
another “coast through December” isn’t going to fix it.

In my own circle, two people landed roles on Christmas Eve.
December wasn’t dead.
Everyone else just disappeared.

In the latest edition of my LinkedIn newsletter, I break down:

1. Why “no one hires in December” is a myth
2. 3 simple moves to get interviews and offers before the new year
3. How to stop wasting Decembers and use it to your advantage

They want a clear, confident plan that gets them into roles they actually want, 
Not just the next logical step. 

If that’s you, 
Let’s get you moving.

Burnout isn’t always a breakdown 

Sometimes it happens in silence. 

Logging in, zoning out. 
Meetings that feel like noise. 
Solving the same problems with zero excitement. 

For most of the clients I work with, it’s not dramatic 

They just feel flat. 
Underused. Undervalued. Unchallenged. 

And they wonder: 
“Is it me? Or have I just hit a wall in this role?” 

Here’s what I tell them: 
- It’s not about taking a break. 
- It’s about choosing a better direction. 
 

One that reignites your sense of purpose, progress, and possibility. 

If your work feels like it’s draining you instead of driving you- 
It’s time to reset.

“𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀.”

If that thought has already crossed your mind... you’re not alone.

By December, most IT professionals are:

· Tired

· Overloaded

· Just trying to get to the break in one piece

So the plan becomes:

“I’ll deal with my CV, my LinkedIn, my promotion, my job search... next year.”

Here’s the problem :

January doesn’t magically give you:

· A better strategy

· A stronger market position

· A clearer story for $200k+ roles

It just gives you… the same situation, with a new calendar.

The IT leaders who make the biggest moves in Q1 don’t wait for January. They use December to quietly:

· Get clear on what they want

· Tighten their positioning and story

· Line up conversations before everyone comes back online

So when the “new year, new budget” roles open up… they’re first in line.

If you’re an experienced IT professional and you’ve caught yourself saying “I’ll start in January,” it might be worth asking:

What small step could I take before Christmas to start with Momentum in January?

Ignored by recruiters?
You send applications, You have a “great” chat.
Then… nothing. Silence.

Most IT pros think it’s a CV problem or an age problem.

Most of the time, it’s a signal and positioning problem.

In this edition of The IT Leaders Edge I break down:
1. Why good recruiters overlook skilled IT pros
2. The patterns that keep you in the “maybe” pile
3. How to start showing up so they can actually place you

If you’re in the middle of a job search, this might sound familiar: You send off application after application. You have the odd recruiter chat where 

Ignored By Recruiters? Turn Recruiters Into Allies (Without Feeling Desperate)

On paper, some of the best leaders fall behind. 

Not because they lack results -because they don’t claim them. 

They’ll say, “The team did it, not me”. 

This may be true, but ask yourself: 

Who chose the approach?
Who negotiated scope creep away? 
Who protected focus, unblocked vendors, defended timelines? 

You can be humble with integrity and still own your results. 

Because without you – it wouldn’t have happened. 

I hear this a lot in sessions: a quiet pause, then a list of things that “don’t really count.” 

 ↪The early risk call no one wanted to make. 
↪The tough conversation that saved the delivery. 
↪The calm when everyone else was anxious. 
↪The trust you built so the team could do their best work. 

Owning your part isn’t taking credit from your people, it’s telling the truth about how the result became possible. 
 
In a market that rewards visible impact, that truth matters. 

You don’t need to be louder. 
You just need your story to reflect what actually happened.

𝗗𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲?

You’ve spent years building technical depth. 
Put out fires no one saw coming.
You’ve delivered results. 
Led teams. 

But now?

You’re not “early career.” 

You’re not quite in the exec seat either. 

You’re in the middle.

And the middle gets murky.

You start asking: 

– What’s next for me?
– Is it too late to pivot? 
– Do I need another cert? 
– Why am I still being overlooked?

Most IT pros stall here - not from lack of skill, but because they’ve outgrown their old positioning.

It’s not your talent. It’s how you’re being seen.

If you’re doing senior-level work without the title (or the pay), 

stop upgrading certs and start upgrading how you’re positioned.

Your next move isn’t about adding more. 

It’s about clarifying what you already bring.

Certifications are safe. They feel productive. They look impressive.

But if you’re honest... they haven’t moved the needle like you hoped.

Getting seen as a leader isn’t just what you know- it’s how clearly you show your value.

Strategy positions you. Certifications validate you.

One builds visibility. The other builds credibility.

You need both - most IT pros over-invest in the latter.

If you’ve been adding skills and still feel stuck, you don’t need another cert. You need a better strategy.

Which one are you focused on right now?

Sounds positive. Often... it’s not.

Back in June, a lot of experienced IT professionals heard things like:

· “You’re on track, just keep doing what you’re doing.”

· “We really value you, but budgets are tight.”

· “Let’s look at this again in 6–12 months.”

Fast forward to December.

Same title. Same pay band. More responsibility.

If that’s you, it’s normal to wonder:

“Did I just waste another year waiting for something that was never really planned?”

On the surface, it’s praise. Underneath, it can mean:

“We’re comfortable leaving you where you are.”

You don’t need to be aggressive. But you do need to get specific next time:

· What exact outcomes are required for the next level?

· How will they measure you?

· What’s the realistic timeframe and process?

If your manager can’t answer those clearly, you don’t have a promotion plan. You have a holding pattern.

As you look back on this year, it’s worth asking: Did my mid-year review move me closer to promotion, or just keep me busy?

If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d be curious - did anything actually change for you after your last review?

It’s everything that surrounds it 

I hear it from smart people in IT all the time:

A friend of mine just crossed $10K in a single month.

And what shocked me wasn’t the money,
it was how it started.

Not with a big team.

It started with her sitting on her bed… typing one simple line into Replit Design Mode.

Just two months earlier, she was stuck.

She had an idea for an AI image generator app, users could type a description and instantly get a professional-quality image for social media, presentations, or marketing, but every time she tried to create a website or app for it, she froze.

“I’m not a designer.”
“I can’t build a site.”
“What if it looks unprofessional?”

So the idea kept collecting dust.

One random night, she tried Replit Design Mode out of pure frustration. Typed a single sentence describing her idea.

And boom, in under 2 minutes, she had:

✓ A clean, aesthetic, professional landing page
✓ A fully designed app interface where users could generate images instantly
✓ Interactive elements like image previews and download buttons
✓ A version she could edit in normal English
✓ The option to turn it into a full app with Convert to App

Zero coding.

She published it the SAME night.

The next week, she started getting users.
Her app went viral among small businesses and creators.

By month two, she hit $10,000 in revenue.

Not because she was “lucky.”
But because she finally removed the walls between ideas → execution.

Last night, I did something crazy.

I built a full AI Meeting Assistant app on Replit…

and I’m still shocked at how fast it happened 🤯

I opened Replit with one simple idea:

“An AI meeting assistant that takes notes, creates summaries, and sends tasks.”

That’s it.

I typed the description…
and in under 2 minutes, the entire design appeared.

Like magic.

➡️ Clean dashboard
➡️ Note-taking space
➡️ Auto-summary section
➡️ Task list with assignees
➡️ Email/Drive export buttons
➡️ Fully mobile-ready

Then I clicked Convert to App…
and suddenly it wasn’t just a design.

It became a working product.

Before Replit, this would’ve taken:
days of wireframing,
hours of meetings,
and endless “Can you send the updated version?”

Now it takes:
one prompt.
one click.
one minute.

This genuinely felt like the fastest idea → reality moment of my life.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, big or small,
this is your sign to finally build it.

P.S. Dropping the first AI tool I created using Replit 🔥

I used to think building an app needed two things:

A laptop
and years of coding experience.

Turns out… I was wrong 🤐

A few weeks ago, I created a fully working app, not by typing complex code, but by simply explaining what I wanted in plain English using Replit.

No setup.
No prior knowledge

Just… vibe coding.

That moment completely shifted how I look at creating apps and tools.

Because here’s the truth:

Most great ideas die in notebooks because people assume they need skills, time, or a big team to bring them to life.

But now?
Platforms like Replit are breaking that barrier completely.

You can literally:

➡️ Speak your idea into the screen
➡️ Connect it to tools you already use — Notion, Slack, Google Drive, Dropbox
➡️ Switch across 300+ AI models without touching a single API key
➡️ Build from anywhere, even from your phone

One small prompt becomes a working app.
One idea becomes something real, instantly.

This is the part that excites me the most:

You don’t need prior knowledge of coding anymore.
You just need curiosity.

Just open Replit.
Type what you want.
Build something that makes your life easier.

If this excites you, it's time to turn your idea into reality.

Last week on a trip, my phone battery died.

And I guess we’ve all been there 😉

Perfect sky, perfect moment… but the phone just couldn’t keep up.

So when I saw Moto g67 POWER 5G “phone tombstones” floating around online, I laughed way too hard.

Because… yeah, been there.
“Camera died mid-sunset.”
“Battery gave up halfway up K2.”

Too real.

Then I read about their #UnstoppableChallenge, where creators travel India’s longest routes on just one charge.

No power banks.
Just trust in that 7000 mAh battery.

And 50MP Sony Lytia 600 Camera photograph.

What a quality of photo.

All that power and performance at just ₹14,999* — not gonna lie, that’s bold.

And kind of refreshing to see a brand actually prove its point instead of just saying it.

Because if there’s one thing this generation doesn’t do,
it’s choose this or that.
We do both.

Hustle and chill.
Shoot and scroll.
Create and consume.

Moto just… got it right this time 😎

Weddings these days?
Straight up Bollywood mode 😂

And dulha entries?
Full action-movie energy.

Horses, jeeps, vintage cars…
bas jetpack hi baaki hai 😂

I saw the new Shaadi.com film today and honestly, it felt like a gentle roast for our entire generation.

“Sahi entry se zyada important hai, sahi hero ki entry.”

Funny, real, and a reminder we seriously needed.

In a world chasing aesthetic weddings,
maybe it’s time we focus on authentic partnerships too.

Loved how they turned a cultural habit into a clever message, light, humorous, and still spot-on.

Who else felt personally attacked by this ad? 😭🔥

I've always believed travel wasn’t tiring, planning was.

Choosing a place to stay is one task.
Choosing how to get there is another.

Syncing them?
A whole battle.

But recently, while checking out The Hosteller properties, I discovered something surprisingly useful.

You can now book RedBus tickets directly on The Hosteller website.

No redirects.
No confusing tabs.

Just a simple, dedicated page where you book your bus through RedBus without leaving The Hosteller ecosystem.

Which basically means:

✔️ Stay? Sorted.
✔️ Travel? Sorted.
✔️ Experience? Already smoother.

My entire flow now looks like this:

1. Pick my Hosteller stay
2. Open their RedBus page
3. Check buses to that exact destination
4. Compare timings, seats & prices
5. Book everything from one single website

No double-checking arrival times.
No stress.

For someone like me who loves last-minute plans, this is exactly the kind of update that actually encourages more travel.

Because when planning becomes frictionless, travel becomes natural.

It made me realize something simple:

Travel doesn’t require more time; it requires fewer steps.

And honestly, credit to Hanuman Singh 🦍, he showed me this integration and made me realize how much smoother travel feels when everything sits in one place.

When you’ve been watching the Indian marketing space closely, some partnerships just click the moment you hear them. For me, Asian Paints stepping in as the Official Partner of India Home Cricket with BCCI felt like that instant “ah, this fits” moment.

Asian Paints have always been more than paints and shade cards. It’s one of those rare Indian brands that has shaped how we express, decorate, and emotionally connect with our homes for decades. And if there’s one thing that connects India like home, it’s cricket. The sport brings together 1.4 billion people with the same emotion, at the same moment, even if everything else in the country feels different.

So the timing makes sense. Asian Paints has built marketing credibility over the years, especially through memorable campaigns around festivals, families, and stories. Stepping into cricket now feels like a natural extension of that journey, not a sudden sponsorship move. 

A legacy brand entering a legacy sport, not for a cameo, but for a long, smartly planned partnership. Curious to see what this looks like when the colour, emotion and stadium energy all come together.
