First note for 2026.

Hi Reader How are you doing? I'm sure you got your 2026 dialled in. Come one, we are almost at the end of Jan 2026! I have been researching and understanding the Gen AI eco system. I think it is already here. You may wonder why all this hype. AI was always there and we were part of it (amazon recommending more products, or your incoming emails being classified into spam/not spam, etc). Top tech companies where using it for a while. The hype around AI became more because of Gen AI (Generative AI) which gave the models the power to create new content from scratch. The technology is complex. It's based on Deep learning models that has neural networks. And then it branches out into different architectures based on whether you are processing text, image, video or a combination. This is inspired by how the human brain works and the science has achieved fair amount of success. If you are not using the applications such Gemini (offered by Google, ChatGPT (offered by OpenAI), I'd highly encourage you to start exploring it. While Gen AI can do all sorts of things, try to define the use case where you are really struggling. Use it as a smart friend who knows it all and you can pick his or her brain. On a side note, while people do predict crazy things. I guess no one knows exactly where this is heading but enjoy the journey. If you have any questions, please reply to this email! As always, thanks for being awesome! Rama

Hi Reader, Most people think they struggle in meetings because they’re not confident. That’s not the real problem. The real problem? They’re unprepared for the moments that matter. Let me explain. Important conversations at work are actually predictable. Your boss will ask for updates.. Stakeholders will ask questions.. Someone will challenge your idea,, You’ll get a chance to talk about your work,, And yet…Most people walk into these moments hoping they’ll say the right thing. They don’t....
Hi Reader Let me describe a conversation you might have had. You’re sitting in a room with key stakeholders—your boss, their boss, and cross-functional leaders. You’ve worked hard all quarter. You delivered results. Yes, you also handled pressure. And this is your moment. Someone asks: “So… can you share updates from your area?” And you say something like: “Yeah… things are going okay… we’ve been working on a few areas… team is doing a great job… lot of work pressure…” You downplay your wins....
Hi Reader Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking, “I should’ve said that”? Or you did say something…and people did not pay attention. As in, it just didn’t land. There was no reaction or follow-up questions. But after 5 minutes, someone else says something similar…And suddenly everyone is engaged? They get the nods, the attention and of course the credit. And you’re left sitting there wondering, “What's going on, and what am I missing?” You may ignore once, but then it may happen...
