There are 3 components to make money online...
- Traffic
- Funnel
- Offer

Traffic is easy.
You can either run ads or just post on social media (like LinkedIn here).

Offer is how you package your skills and expertise into a no-brainer proposition.

Funnel is how you capture those traffic, turn them into leads, and move them closer to becoming a client.

You probably knew all that.

But here's the harsh truth.

Your leads # is down.
Your sales # is down.
Your stress is up.
Your cost is up.

Why?

We are in a recession.

A trust recession.

Skepticism is at an all-time high.

Your prospects are more sophisticated.

They are doing their research (like you are now).

And that's the missing component... trust.
It is the secret sauce that ties everything together.

After working with 100+ coaches, entrepreneurs and founders over the past 7 years...
After working on 1000+ projects across multiple niches and industries...
After taking our agency & coaching business from 0 to multiple 7-figs...

I've developed a proven solution & framework.

It's called The Brand Funnels.

Once it's set up, it works for you 24/7.

It's not just a marketing tactic, but a complete system for sustainable growth in your coaching or service business.

You have 3 options...
1. Do nothing
2. Do it yourself.
3. Do it with our help.

If you choose to do it yourself, I am dropping bombs on LinkedIn from Monday to Saturday.
Every few days, I am sending juicy tips & strategies to my newsletter too, so make sure you join that.

But if you want to improve your chance of success and do this with our help...

We first need to figure out
1) if we can help you and
2) if we want to help you

If we get 2 yes-es, perfect.
If no, we'll let you know and offer you alternatives.

Trump is absolutely not going to like this about India. While the U.S. keeps shutting doors for Indians, Japan just opened half a million.

Yes. 500,000 Indians will soon move to Japan over the next five years. It’s one of the biggest migration deals in Asia’s history.

It’s the greatest opportunity for Indian students who want to study/ work abroad. 
Japan’s population is collapsing. And guess what? Japan is not going to drop any H1B visa bomb as it’s all done by the governments.

But why all of a sudden Japan is ready to take Indians? 

Because of shortage of people. Yes! Their median age is 49.
India’s is 29. 

They need 
- Young engineers, 
- AI experts, 
- English teachers 
- Skilled workers.

We’ve got plenty. So Japan’s government just signed a deal with India to fill their jobs, boost their economy, and bring fresh talent.

What’s wild is… while Indians still chase empty American dream and get rejections,
Japan is literally asking them to come. 

By 2030, both countries will also launch

* internships for students,
* yoga & Ayurveda centers in Japan,
* and tech exchange programs for startups.
 
I will say, this isn’t just a policy, it’s a wake-up call. For the West that keeps raising walls.
And for Indians still obsessed with “settling in the U.S.”

Because while America makes entry harder, Asia is quietly creating its own Silicon Valley.

The question is- Would you still spend $100,000 chasing the American dream…when Japan is handing you a visa and a career?


#entrepreneurship #startups #marketing #technology #management #india

If this country collapses, forget America, the whole world is screwed.

It’s Japan. We keep talking about the US economy, recession, elections…
But the real bomb is sitting quietly in Tokyo. And it’s finally ticking.

But what is it actually? 

For 30 years, Japan was the world’s ATM.

Borrow money at 0% interest from Japan…
Invest it in:

* US bonds (4%)
* US stocks (8%)
* India bonds (6–8%)
* Other markets

After conversion costs and hedging, still pure profit.
This was the famous Yen Carry Trade. 

The entire global financial system relied on it.Banks, hedge funds, governments→everyone.

Then Japan did the unthinkable.

On 19th November, interest rates suddenly jumped to 2.8%. 
If it touches 3%, Japan won’t be able to pay back its own debt, which is 2.5X their GDP.

No major country on earth carries this level of debt. This is not a “problem.” This is an economic heart attack.

And now the maths has collapsed:
➡️ Borrow at 2.8%
➡️ Earn 3–4% abroad
➡️ Margin = DEAD

The free money machine just stopped.

What happens next?

-Everyone who borrowed cheap Yen is panicking.
-To repay Japan, they might start selling assets in the US market.
-Pull money out of emerging markets and dump global stocks.

This is why the finance world is freaking out. Not because of recession. But because Japan just broke a 30-year formula that kept markets stable.

Because for the first time in decades:

* Inflation crossed 2.5%
* Wages didn’t grow
* Prices went up
* People couldn’t survive

To control inflation, they had only one option: Raise interest rates.

Even when Japan moved from 0.1% → 0.25% last year, their stock market (Nikkei) crashed 12% in one day. 
That was nothing. This is the real earthquake.

This is not the time to be over-smart with risky investments.
Don’t go for wild returns.
Don’t chase hype.

Protect your capital. What’s happening in Japan is a warning.

What’s your take?

Australia just said something the US, UK and Canada never will: “We’ll give you PR on Day 1, just bring your talent.”

Yes, DAY 1 PR.
No job offer needed.
No employer invitation.
No millions in investment.

This is not a joke.
This is Australia’s new National Innovation Visa (NIV)
and it is the biggest immigration shock of 2025.

Here’s what Australia is offering Indians:
* Instant Permanent Residency
* Free Medicare
* Free school education for kids
* Work & live anywhere in Australia
* Sponsor your family
* Direct path to citizenship

All they want is talent, not money.
Who qualifies?
People strong in:
* Tech
* Finance
* Science
* Research
* Medicine
* Arts & performance
* Creativity
* Sports & athletics

And yes, India has a huge pool of this exact talent.

But don’t get it twisted.
This isn’t for “anyone.”
You must prove you’re exceptional:
* Awards
* Recognitions
* Patents
* Global achievements
* A company backed by known investors
* A respected Australian body vouching for you

They don’t want workers.
They want assets. 

Only l4000 people get this each year.

This is the first time a country openly said: “We don’t want cheap labour.
We want world-class creators.”

While the U.S. makes you pay $100,000 for a visa
and Canada makes you wait years… Australia is rolling out the red carpet for Indians.

If you’re exceptional,
this might be the cleanest, simplest path to a new life.

The world is changing fast. Countries are competing for talent and for once, Indians are not the backup plan. They’re the priority.

“If you’re 25 and doing an MBA, you’re an idiot.” That’s what Nikhil Kamath said. And everyone lost their minds.

But honestly, he’s not entirely wrong. Most people don’t do MBAs to learn. They do it to delay real life.

You finish college → don’t know what to do → parents say “Beta, MBA kar lo.”

The people teaching “entrepreneurship” in B-schools have never run a business. They’re teaching risk-taking from PowerPoint slides.
And the students learning it? So you spend ₹25–₹30 lakh learning how to manage money… without having earned a single rupee yourself. Most will spend the next 10 years repaying loans for a job they didn’t even want.

That’s not education.

The reality is brutal 

* 90% of MBA grads don’t land in consulting or VC. They end up in ₹8–₹12L jobs.
* India produces over 3 lakh MBAs every year, but fewer than 10% get ROI on their degree.
* Most of the world’s top entrepreneurs from Kamath to Ambani to Zuckerberg, didn’t need one.

MBA is supposed to teach leadership. But how can you learn leadership when your biggest risk in life was missing an attendance sheet?

MBA isn’t bad . It’s just outdated for most people.

In a world where:

* You can learn marketing from YouTube,
* Finance from online courses,
* Networking from LinkedIn,
* And build a business from your laptop…

…you don’t need a classroom to get ahead. You need clarity. 

So if you’re 25 and doing an MBA, you’re not an idiot.
But if you’re doing it without knowing why, then yes- you’re exactly who Kamath was talking about.

Because degrees don’t make you smart. Decisions do.

If Gurgaon fixes air and water, it will become India’s best city to live and work in. You can laugh if you want. It’s just what’s already unfolding.

Gurgaon’s image used to be “chaotic NCR.” But over the last decade, it quietly built what no other Indian city could.

Here’s what truly sets it apart:

- Infrastructure that actually works. Sixteen-lane expressways, a metro network connecting to Delhi, and office spaces that could easily be in Singapore.

- Most major MNCs- Google, Deloitte, Accenture, Microsoft operate from here. Salaries are higher because companies base their HQs here.

- The kind of professional ecosystem you find in Gurgaon doesn’t exist elsewhere in India. Everyone is building something. You meet founders, CXOs, operators, not just employees.

- A 3 crore apartment here still buys you space, safety, and skyline views. Try finding that in Mumbai, you’ll end up with a leaking 2BHK and a parking battle.

- You can live 15 minutes away from work, gym, schools, cafes, and still have time left in your day. That’s rare in Indian metros.

- CyberHub, premium gyms, cafes, co-working spaces, clubs, rooftop bars. Gurgaon built for people who work hard and want a life outside work too.

- The city is diverse, driven, and surprisingly free of social baggage. People move here to grow, not to judge.

Now, yes, the downsides are real.
-Air pollution is brutal.
-Water-logging is worse.

But if the government manages to fix just these two, air and water, Gurgaon will lead India’s next wave of urban growth.

Because Mumbai has history.
Bangalore has weather.
But Gurgaon has momentum.

It’s not perfect yet. But it’s the closest India has to a city built for the next 20 years.

If you had to bet your career and quality of life on one city-Would you still pick Mumbai or Bangalore over Gurgaon?

His 2.5 crore INR ($300,000 USD) package ruined his marriage. 

That’s the part they don’t tell you on LinkedIn.

Meet Raghav.

✅IIT + IIM.
✅Top of his class.
✅Handpicked by a global MNC.
✅Posted in Singapore with a ₹2.5 crore INR ($300,000 USD) package.

Life was set except it wasn’t.

During the lockdown, things felt perfect.
-Remote work.
-Living in India with his wife.
-They had their first child.
-Everything was warm, whole, human.

Then the world reopened. And with it, expectations returned.

❌“Come back to Singapore.”
❌“Back to office, full-time.”
❌“Hybrid isn’t an option.”
❌“That’s not how we work.”

Raghav left.
-His wife and son stayed back in India.
-Her parents were ageing.
-His child was growing.

And the distance? Only got worse.

🌱From hours-long video calls to occasional texts.
🌱From shared meals to missed milestones.
🌱From love... to logistics.

✔Misunderstandings crept in.
✔Resentment followed.

And soon, everything they built on closeness
was crushed under the weight of distance.

Today, they’re separated. He still earns the same. But he lost the family he built it for.

Moral of the story?

- Remote work didn’t ruin their marriage.
- Returning to rigid systems did.

Couples who work remotely aren’t lazy.
>They’re lucky.
>They get to share mornings.
>Make lunch together.
>Solve fights face-to-face, not through patchy Zoom calls.

Love needs presence. Not just provision.

If you have remote work, protect it. If you lead teams, enable it. Because careers built at the cost of connection don’t always add up.

Australia just did something that will shock every parent, teen, creator, and digital business owner.

They have officially banned social media for all kids under 16, even after a court challenge tried to stop it.

From Dec 10, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube… all must remove under-16 users or face huge penalties.

That’s not a small policy change. That’s a signal.

Here’s what it really means:

1️⃣ Attention will be controlled.
The “free reach” we enjoy today can be restricted tomorrow. Nothing on social media is guaranteed.

2️⃣ Safety > access.
Governments are finally saying: it’s okay to grow slowly, as long as kids grow safely.

3️⃣ Creators must adapt fast.
If platforms start filtering minors, your content strategy, hooks, and audience focus must evolve overnight.

4️⃣ Trust > virality
In the future, the creators who win will be the ones who act responsibly, not the ones who chase every trend.

As someone who teaches people how to earn online, this feels important.

We all think the internet will remain the same forever.
It won’t.

Algorithms change.
Policies change.
Access changes.
Entire industries shift in a year.

But one thing doesn’t change:
Your skills. Your story. Your value.

If you want to build an online career- freelancing, content, coaching, anything- don’t depend on “what works right now.”

Build something that survives rule changes.

Because the next big regulation may not be in Australia.
It could be in India.
Or anywhere.

What do you think- will this happen here too?

#entrepreneurship #startups #marketing #technology #management #india

Only in India can a bad manager fire you and later beg you to return when things fall apart. 

Funny how a techie from Bengaluru, fired by a toxic boss, not for performance, but because the boss wanted control, was called back by the same company after his replacement lasted just three weeks. 

Just imagine! 😂

Jokes apart, this is not an exceptional story. It keeps happening in the Indian workplace. 

I then tried to understand why
* In India, heavy workloads and lack of clear HR processes mean one bad manager can crush careers.
* We treat seniority and position as authority 
* A minute of break becomes “non-performance,” 12+ hour days become “normal,” and speaking up becomes “disloyalty.”

So no wonder so many good people leave.

What countries like Japan and Singapore get right

* In Japan, though overtime exists, there is respect for structure. 
* In Singapore, work expectations are balanced, and culture values clarity over politics. You’re judged by output, not by favoritism. 
* These nations understand: you can’t build great companies by draining people emotionally. You build them by protecting talent and giving stability.

India isn’t short on talent. We have brilliant engineers, creative minds, hard workers who hustle every day.

But we are short on decent leadership, fair systems, and human respect at work.

This company that fired and rehired the techie didn’t do it because they believed in him.
They did it because they ran out of options.

Talent can be replaced. Trust can’t.

If Indian workplaces want to grow sustainably as companies, as culture, as careers, start with treating people like people. Stop managing them like variables.

Because I don’t believe people quit jobs. They quit bosses who treat them badly.

I had a friend flying to Chennai yesterday. His mom was being taken in for emergency surgery. He missed the flight, not because of traffic. Because the system went into a glitch. And go the reply, “please wait, sir.” That’s the level of helplessness this “Digital India” creates.

And this is all because of a “technical glitch” at Delhi Airport. So yes, Delhi Airport looks world-class until the system crashes and you realise it’s just a ₹20,000 crore showroom running on a ₹2 cable.

This at the “world-class” airport we love flaunting in global ads.

Let’s call it what it is: A failure.

We keep building things that 
look rich but work poor.
-Fancy terminals, zero accountability.
-New lounges, old systems.
-Announcements about “India’s aviation boom” and chaos every weekend.

The irony? We can send rockets to Mars but can’t run boarding gates without crashing the server.

We talk about “Digital India,”
but one power cut and the airport goes back to pen and paper.

Meanwhile:

* Passengers missed weddings and medical emergencies.
* Airlines blamed systems.
* Systems blamed servers.
* And everyone moved on.

Because in India, infrastructure fails and no one is fired.

India doesn’t need more airports. It needs ones that actually work.

We’ve mastered construction.
Now it’s time to master consistency.

Because a country that wants to lead the world can’t have its capital airport collapse over a software error.

Until that changes, we’ll keep calling it “world-class”… and hoping no one tests it.

I logged in at 11:00 for a routine day. By 11:04 I was laid off. 

This happened earlier this year when a US-based company laid off several Indian employees in a four-minute online meeting.

No one expected it. They were hitting targets. Their team was performing well.

The company had raised funding. Everything looked normal from the outside.

This is exactly why these stories matter. They show how unpredictable jobs have become, even in companies that look stable.

1. A job is not a financial plan. Your salary can stop without notice. Your expenses will not.

2. You need a minimum six-month safety buffer. Most people keep two months of savings. That is not enough in today’s market, where hiring cycles are slow and interviews stretch for weeks.

3. You need at least one second skill that companies actually pay for. A monetisable skill. Something you can use to get freelance projects or contract work if you need it.

4. Your network matters more than your CV during a layoff. People who find roles quickly usually have strong connections. Referrals move faster than cold applications.

5. Learn how your industry is moving. If your company is cutting roles, others in the same industry may follow. Staying updated gives you time to prepare.

Most people think layoffs happen only when you underperform. But in 2024 and 2025, layoffs have become structural. If the company needs to cut costs, entire teams go together.

You do not control that. You only control how ready you are.

A four-minute call should never be the difference between stability and panic. Preparation is not optional anymore.

10 Corporate Red Flags I Wish I Noticed Earlier 

1. We don’t have a growth plan for you right now → They don’t want you basically. 
2. ⁠Your manager goes MIA until the moment something goes wrong.
3. Experience doesn’t pay rent. 
4. ⁠Every project is urgent and noone knows the deadline. 
5. ⁠People get promoted for loyalty, not skill. 
6. ⁠Meetings that could have been emails and still need your cameras on. 
7. ⁠No clear onboarding. 
8. ⁠Zero transparency about pays, raises or promotions. 
9. ⁠Your wins are ignored but your ‘mistakes’ are forwarded to the whole team. 
10. ⁠Your mental health deteriorates but ‘we are like a family’ is the excuse. 
⁠

India gives you the salary but not the life. Suppose you get a 25 lakh CTC in Gurgaon. Your take-home will be roughly ₹1.45–1.55 lakh per month (after taxes and deductions).

But before you start feeling rich, here’s what the cost of “living a good life” in a metro eats up:

* 1BHK rent in a decent sector: ₹28,000–₹35,000
* Maintenance, utilities, electricity: ₹8,000–₹14,000
* Groceries & daily food: ₹10,000–₹14,000
* Commuting, petrol/parking, last-mile: ₹10,000–₹18,000
* Internet, mobile, household miscellaneous: ~₹2,500–₹4,000
* Weekend outings / random expenses / small luxuries: ₹6,000–₹12,000
* Buffer for emergencies, medical, repairs, unpredictable expenses: ₹8,000–₹10,000

After all this, your “comfortable life” in a city like Gurgaon leaves you with ₹35,000–₹45,000 as savings, only if nothing breaks down, no rides get cancelled, no surprise bills show up, no festival season hits.

That’s the 25 lakh dream.

Now let’s shift the same mindset + similar costs, but to Singapore.

According to recent data, an average single person in Singapore spends around SGD 1,200–2,500 per month (₹73,000–₹1.53 lakh), depending on accommodation and lifestyle. 

Once housing and shared living are optimized, fundamental monthly expenses (food, transport, utilities, basics) stay fairly stable. 

Here’s what changes when the numbers move but quality stays high:
• Public transport works. Reliable.
• Clean air. Reliable water. No surprise power cuts.
• Weekends feel like weekends- peace, rest, actual leisure.
• Savings don’t evaporate because you’re not paying hidden costs: unpredictable petrol hikes, polluted air, random noise, commuting stress, health bills.
• Mental load is low. Living becomes stable, manageable.

Bottom line: the salary number doesn’t change much. But your life output- time, mental bandwidth, savings, health, calm, changes dramatically.

When you calculate like this, it’s not about who earns more. It’s about who lives better.

If you chase only CTC and forget lifestyle cost, you end up poor in peace. You might earn 25 lakhs but you have nothing as savings. 

Would you prefer Singapore over UK, USA, Australia? 
Switch the lens.
Measure what money gives you back. That’s the real success.

“If you are rich, we will squeeze every drop out of you.” This is what the UK government has decided to do. 

Imagine working your whole life and the government takes 40% of everything you built, even outside their borders. Who will stay after that?

This is why Lakshmi Mittal and 16,000 millionaires are running away from UK as it’s no longer a country, it’s a tax punishment centre.

Let me break the disaster:

1️⃣ Capital Gains Tax increased (Oct 2024): From 20% → 24%. Just like that.

2️⃣ UK KILLED the Non-Dom Regime (Apr 2025): The biggest reason global wealthy lived in the UK was simple:
Foreign income = not taxed.
Foreign assets = not taxed.
Now? Everything you earn worldwide → taxed. Even worse… 40% inheritance tax, even on assets outside the UK.

3️⃣ A new nightmare: 20% Exit Tax: You leave the UK? They want 20% tax on your wealth…
even on unrealised gains, money you never earned, never sold, never even touched.

So where are the wealthy going? Dubai.
And honestly, I don’t blame them.

Dubai gives you:
- No income tax
- No capital gains tax
- No inheritance tax
- No wealth tax
- No dividend tax
- One of the safest cities in the world
- Perfect global location
- Corporate tax? Just 9%

It’s literally: Keep your money.
Live safely. Build freely.

Who wouldn’t pick that?
I feel, the UK forgot one basic rule of economics: Wealthy people don’t tolerate punishment. They relocate.

And when 250,000+ people leave in one year… that’s not migration.
That’s a warning. 

Right now, if you’re thinking global…your safest, smartest bet is UAE.

Not because it’s flashy. But because it’s fair.

You think India is the most unsafe country? No. Look at the UK. It no longer has safety, healthcare, even money to thrive. 

This is a warning sign for Indians living in UK and Indians students to reconsider their choice. 

Now haters will say this is all lies and people love comparing countries without checking numbers. So let’s actually look at the numbers.

And the picture the UK shows right now is nothing like the reputation it still carries.

Here’s what most of us don’t know.

1. London alone had more than 80,000 phone thefts last year.
-That’s 80k people losing their phones in one city.
-It’s just last year. 

2. 2,57,000 already left UK
-UK thought around 70,000 citizens were emigrating each year. But the updated number is this. 
-That’s more than 3 times higher than what the UK believed.

3. Everyday speech is now policed more than street crime.
-12k+ arrested every year in the UK for online communication offences.
-That’s over 30 arrests a day.
-That doesn’t feel like a “free country” anymore. 

4. Economy is at record low
-Since 2019 the US grew more than twelve percent. 
-The eurozone around 6%. The UK around 5%.
-That means middle class will hit rock bottom. 

5. The rich are leaving too
-Around 60,500 millionaires are expected to leave the UK this year.
-When high taxpayers exit, it shifts to the locals. 

6. Migration patterns flipped after Brexit.
-Before Brexit, most new migrants came from the EU.
-Now the majority comes from outside the EU.

So yes, India has its own problems. But the UK is not the perfect, safe, predictable country people imagine it to be.
Not anymore.

If you want to understand a country, don’t look at its PR. Look at who is arriving and who is leaving and who wishes they could.

Will you still settle in the UK?
