🇮🇳 A Truly Honoured Moment for Me 🙏

This time in Gangtok with the Government of Sikkim.

This week, I had the privilege to be invited by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India (GoI) to conduct a 3-day AI & ML Workshop for the Government of Sikkim officials, in partnership with NeGD

Special thanks to the entire IT department of Govt of Sikkim. 

From fundamentals of Python to cutting-edge GenAI & ML applications,
 
I trained officers to not just understand AI, but apply it in real governance.

And I must say:

 - When Government starts focusing on AI,
 - You know India is truly getting future-ready!

Just a few years ago, I was creating LinkedIn posts from a small room.

Today, I’m getting the opportunity to train the people shaping India's digital transformation.

It’s not just about tech, It’s about impact.

To all the self-learners, dreamers, and hustlers reading this,

Keep building. Keep teaching. Keep giving back.

The world is watching.

Why do employees want WFH or hybrid work models?

1. Because their parents are aging.
2. Because they are parents to their only child.
3. Because they want to spend more hours with their wife than with stranger flat mates.
4. Because they want an afterlife with friends in their hometown.
5. Because they want to save money and invest rather than spend it all on survival.
6. Because they want to avoid getting stuck in traffic and attend meetings through the spare laptop.

There's a compulsion for employees to work on-site by coming down to the office with strict log-in and log-out criteria.
Also, employees are forced to attend meetings with overseas teams/clients from their homes, using their personal laptops and data when needed.

What's the point behind this?

Why does location matter if employees deliver work without impacting quality and productivity?

In the so-called perfect corporate world with luxury salary packages, there are only processes and protocols—only for the sake of it, with not much sense!

One of the best post I came across today.

This is a powerful ChatGPT feature that every professional should set up today. 

Now you run this manually every day or set it as schedule task in ChatGPT to get about info about latest job posted.

This can run even on the free version on ChatGPT.

Example prompt in the snapshot below. Edit it based on your role, location, and preferences.

The more specific you are, the sharper the results.

PS: Adding the exact prompt in the comment to copy and paste.

Before start: I am not prepared for interview

After 1st interview: Failed, need to learn

After 5th interview: I know most of questions

After 7th interview: I got an offer

After 10th interview: I can clear any interview.

This is the journey for every normal IT professional.

Only thing that is stopping you is, not Starting

Start your journey before it's too late.

ADF Practice Questions:

Scenario 1: Data Transformation Pipeline
Scenario: Azurelib e-commerce collects sales data from multiple regional databases (SQL and NoSQL). The data needs to be cleaned, transformed, and stored in Azure Data Lake for analysis. The pipeline must also check the data’s integrity before loading it into the Data Lake. If data is incomplete or contains errors, it should be sent to a different storage location for reprocessing.

Q1: How would you design an Azure Data Factory pipeline to handle this scenario? Explain which activities you would use and how you would manage errors.

Scenario 2: Copying Data from On-premises to Azure
Scenario: Azurelib retail business has a legacy on-premises SQL Server database containing product and inventory data. The company wants to migrate this data to Azure SQL Database on a daily basis for reporting and analytics. The pipeline should minimize downtime and avoid impacting the on-premises server’s performance.

Q2: How would you design a pipeline in Azure Data Factory to copy this data from on-premises SQL Server to Azure SQL Database? Which ADF components would you use to ensure minimal downtime?

Scenario 3: Parameterized Pipelines
Scenario: You are working for an Azurelib e-commerce company that collects product reviews from different platforms daily. Each platform has a different API endpoint for data retrieval, and you need to ingest this data into Azure Data Lake. The process must be automated so that the pipeline dynamically fetches data based on the platform being processed.

Q3: How would you implement a parameterized pipeline in ADF to dynamically handle multiple data sources? Which parameters and activities would you configure?

Scenario 4: Data Lake Partitioning by Date
Scenario: Your organization stores large amounts of transactional data in Azure Data Lake, and the data is loaded daily from various sources. To improve query performance, you are tasked with partitioning the data in Azure Data Lake based on the date of the transaction.

Q4: How would you configure an ADF pipeline to partition data in Azure Data Lake by date? Which ADF activities and transformations would you use to achieve this?

Scenario 5: Failure Handling and Pipeline Monitoring
Scenario: You have set up a data pipeline that processes customer orders and loads them into Azure SQL Database. Sometimes, due to network issues or data corruption, the pipeline fails mid-execution. The business needs to be notified immediately if the pipeline fails, and the pipeline must be automatically retried a few times before stopping completely.

Q5: How would you configure failure handling and monitoring for this pipeline? What features of ADF would you use to send alerts and implement retries in case of failures?

Back when we were younger, this advice felt like gold:

Just work smart, not work hard

But now, it is not.

Because in the real world, everyone is smart.

- Everyone has access to ChatGPT
- Free resources, cheat sheets, mentors.
- Most common tips and tricks

So, what separates those who grow?

- Who doubles their CTC
- Who switched to that dream company

It’s not just a smart brain.

- Its practice for hours and hours
- It’s an effort after office hours.
- It’s staying up late, not scrolling, but studying.
- It's getting up after every fall
- It’s applying for 50 jobs and still showing up with energy for the 51st
- It’s building a habit when no one is clapping for you yet.

Yes, you’ll feel behind sometimes.
Yes, rejection will hurt.
Yes, it’s hard to push through when there’s no instant reward.

But hear this clearly:

- The world is full of smart people.
- Very few are consistent.
- Even fewer are unstoppable.

So if you’re tired of hearing: "We’ll get back to you"

Then stop relying only on strategy. Start showing up with fire.

Your next growth jump won’t come from working smarter.
It will come from working harder and outsmarting your competitors.

How to Cut Your Databricks Costs by 40% Without Migrating Anything

I once asked a friend,
“Why are you still in the same job for 8 years?”

He smiled and said,
“It’s stable. I know what I’m doing. No pressure, no surprises.”

But here’s what I noticed…

- Same job.
- Same tools.
- Same complaints.
- No new learning.
- No interviews.
- No growth.

He wasn’t building a career 

He was living the same 6 months over and over again.

And honestly? He’s not alone.

A lot of professionals get stuck in “comfort.”

They avoid change because it feels risky.

But here’s the truth:
Staying stuck is the biggest risk.

If you want something new a better role, higher pay, new challenges 

you have to walk a different path.

Learn.
Apply.
Fail.
Try again.

Because one day you’ll thank yourself…
for not settling.
