Entrepreneur. Founder of TechLila.

I’ve been building on the internet since 2010. TechLila came in 2012, then WebGeeksMedia, where I’m co-founder and CEO, and a few other companies along the way. 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.

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. Everyone calls it a dream job.

The full story is on the About page, mistakes included.

Now

November 2026

Building

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

Health

Gym in the morning, or the badminton court, 90 minutes either way. 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.
