2024 - A Recap

 Starting with December 2023, on 30th I attended a wedding - and met Natasha Kothari, who runs Studio Ungap. Dhruv, her fiance, was the groom's brother. Anyway, we met again at her office, and I also wrote a case and invited her for a guest lecture on Entrepreneurship to Prestige University. Went off well, with a video recording too.

It was also a year of weddings- attending them. Sanjana's (she was a student from IIM Indore), another one in Coimbatore where I ran into students from IIM Indore among guests, and so on..

Meetups with long lost friends- Jaya Dulani, Pushpinder Singh, Venkata Rama Subramaniam, and not lost but found Nikita Ray, Ananya Nandi Dey, Shalini Sinha, Abha Anagha Kulkarni, Sheetal Garg also happened in Delhi and Mumbai, and Pune. Prachi Jain also met up before migrating from IMT G to IIT Roorkee.
