Most beverage founders talk about flavor as a selling point. The real mover is choice psychology, why people feel what they feel when they choose one brand over another. What makes you buy a product? Marketing, availability, brand alignment, curiosity… or something else?

Diwali’s about light, and this drop’s mine. It’s my most personal one yet. Not about building a brand, but the person behind it all: me. My story. My quiet side. My light. Real, unfiltered, human. If you’ve ever paused to figure yourself out, this one’s for you. Read now:…

Everyone says, “I’ve got your back.” Few actually show up. Founders don’t need pep talks; they need follow-through. Buy. Share. Connect. That’s how startups survive. Read now on The Weekly D-Brief: theweeklydbrief.beehiiv.com/p/helping-a-st…

A title can get attention, but the work speaks louder. People believed in me long before I created Jivati. That credibility didn’t transfer with the founder role. Staying grounded in my habits earned trust, and trust is what people bet on. Read now on The Weekly D-Brief:…

You don’t need mass appeal. You need a market you understand deeper than anyone else. Building Jivati taught me that if you can’t map who you’re for and how you’ll win, you’re just guessing. So I built the model myself. Real numbers. Real strategy. Now it’s a business I can…
