The IPL just ran a live poll during RR vs KKR. 63% of fans voted analytics over gut feel for captains and coaches. These aren't data scientists. These are cricket fans who grew up on instinct and hero moments. Rajasthan Royals have been operating on performance data in scouting and coaching for a while. The gap between how the best teams think and how most batters train is still massive. str8bat is the most compelling product in cricket tech right now.

The real sale happens when the bartender actually believes in what they’re pouring. 🍸 Over the last 4 months at Piccadily Distilleries doing a lot of on-ground sessions for Camikara & Cashmir — and honestly, most of it was just conversations behind the bar. With Camikara, the biggest reaction I got was — “rum in summers?” 🤔 But once we started doing lighter, refreshing drinks like a Rum Picante 🌶️, Swarna 🍊 the switch was quick. People didn’t expect rum to feel that way. And at the same time, seeing it win global awards 🏆 like a Master Medal at the Global Rum & Cachaça Masters and Double Gold at The 50 Best just made those conversations easier. With Cashmir, it was more about slowing people down and getting them to actually taste it. Made from Sona Moti wheat🌾 (an heirloom grain from North India), it brings a subtle natural sweetness and a clean, rounded finish — something you don’t usually associate with vodka. The best part? When a bartender starts recommending it on their own — not because you told them to, but because they actually liked it. That’s when you know it’s working. Still a long way to go, but enjoying the process. #Camikara #Cashmir #IndianSpirits #AlcoBev #OnTrade #indri

I remember, when we thought AI was just a better search engine. That was two years ago, now it's the operating system everything else runs on. We're not at the dawn of AI. We're in the eye of the storm. And most founders are still standing still, waiting to see which way the wind blows. Here's what I've come to understand: AI isn't replacing tasks linearly. It's rewriting the rules of value creation entirely. Not faster writing. Not smarter code. A complete rewiring of how decisions get made. What work matters, what gets prioritized, what gets cut. Like turning a dial from 0 to 10. Overnight. What separates the founders pulling ahead: ⚡ Adaptation speed, not innovation alone, wins the game 🧠 Value lies in curating AI's output, not just consuming it 📊 Investment is flowing into AI enablers - foundations, governance, trust ⚡ The human-AI interface is the next battleground, not datasets 🧠 The future favors founders who think in system-level leverage, not isolated features The question I keep coming back to: Is your organisation designed to be an AI application, or the platform AI relies on? One follows the wave. The other becomes the current. Where do you see the biggest leverage in AI integration, accelerating or stalling your business growth today? #Leadership #ArtificialIntelligence #Founders #AIStrategy #FutureOfWork
