Hello there, my curious friend!

You've stumbled onto this site/newsletter, and you're wondering who da hell is this guy. Well, I'm glad to help ya.

I'm an overthinker. I overthink everything. Not just a little. A lot. I'm all over the place. I've got tabs open about ancient philosophy, Bollywood analysis, startup frameworks, and probably a bazillion YouTube videos about things that aren't probably important.

But that's what I find interesting: all these ideas that come from connecting these dots.

Based on that, here's what you'll find at mangofries:

  • Business frameworks made surprisingly useful (or worse)

  • Cultural analysis that makes you think (or scratch your head)

  • Ancient wisdom for modern problems

  • Tech trends explained simply

  • And sometimes, just fun explorations of why things are the way they are

I'm that guy who:

  • Gets excited about both Stoic philosophy and Marvel movies

  • Can break down product strategies and Bollywood plotlines

  • Finds life lessons in everything from Japanese pottery to startup failures

  • Makes complex ideas make sense (because I had to figure them out myself first)

When I discover something useful, I break it into real-world applications.

A few examples:

MY LENS

Being Indian-born, US-educated, and Dubai-based gives me a unique perspective. I see patterns across cultures that others might miss, and I find connections in unexpected places.

With 18 years in Product Management, I've learned to spot patterns in how people and products behave—it's fascinating, sometimes wild, and often surprising.

THE MANGOFRIES PROMISE & WHAT YOU’LL GET

No guru speak. No life hacks. No "simple" solutions to complex problems. Just fascinating ideas made practical, delivered with a side of fun.

Every piece at mangofries serves one purpose: helping you see your world differently and navigate it better.

Every framework, story, and insight is designed to help you:

  • Think clearer

  • Work smarter

  • Live better

  • Make sense of complexity

If that sounds like hogwash, I bet the content will at least make you think.

A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

While not at work, you'll find me at cafes, bookstores, the gym, home with Netflix, or just out and about with the fam.

Mangofries is my attempt to turn my buzzing brain into something valuable—not just for me, but hopefully for you too.

You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Feel free to say hi; I'd love to chat.

Welcome to the curious corner of the internet.
