• His early tech adventures (including being one of the first few people on Earth to make 3G calls – no kidding!)
• A road trip from New York to San Francisco that changed his perspective
• Building Scapia from scratch, where Friday biryani lunches, stadium takeovers, and listening to real customers became non-negotiables
