- Mentors are invaluable for managing risk and gaining perspective, as they have more experience and can see further ahead than you, providing critical insights for decision-making.
- My mentor’s advice to charge one rupee per day for a Ganesh Puja app transformed the business model and scaled the revenue from ₹70,000 to ₹33 crore.

- The 3P framework—Personal, Professional, and Parivaar (Family) life—is about recognizing that personal time encompasses all 24 hours, as your self is always present in every aspect of life.
- The concept of *Sakshi Bhav* teaches that by observing and understanding yourself deeply, you can manage your family, friends, and professional life more effectively.
- The key principle is that self-awareness and self-management reflect outwardly, enabling harmony and balance in both personal and professional relationships.
