Entrepreneur. Tech Journalist. Founder of TechLila.

I’ve been building on the internet since 2010. TechLila came first, then the companies that grew out of it. Everyone gets the same 24 hours, right? What you do with yours is the whole story. Here I share what I keep learning about work, money, time and the life around them, so you can make things happen sooner than I did. The choice is yours.

My story

Two months in a dream job, then I quit.

I registered this domain in 2010 because it was my surname and nobody had taken it. Then came a job at TCS, the kind everyone calls a dream job, and within two months I knew it was not for me, so I left and started building things instead, TechLila first. Some of it worked. Some of it cost me more than I like to admit. The full story is on the About page, mistakes included.

Now

September 2026

Building

Most of my day now runs through AI. Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini and Spark do the heavy lifting, and I decide what is worth building.

Health

Gym in the morning, badminton whenever I can get a court, 90 minutes each. That is 6% of your day, and still the best 6%.

Learning

Learning never stops. It is lifelong, and the day I stop is the day I start going backwards.

Must read

New here? These five say most of what I believe. Start with any of them.
