In 2020, I was Accused No. 10. ₹1,000-crore company I didn't own. Crimes I didn't commit. 213 civil lawsuits. 11 criminal FIRs. Five years later: I run a crisis practice. Board seat at a Japanese MNC. TEDx, 7M+ views. And I wrote a book about it. Relax, It's Only a Raid. Juggernaut, May 2026.

@rodinhood Thank you Alok 🙏 The hashtag is sharper than the article.

INDIA: I never do it again From a shocking article in the ET: (link in comments) Must read! “A former colleague and boss of mine, a British executive who ran our real-estate company through some of its hardest years, watched his close friend go to Arthur Road and decided it was time to leave India himself. “We were doing everything right and by the book,” he told me later, “and we still had FIRs against us and trumped-up tax demands.” He summed up his view of running a business in this country: I-N-D-I-A. I Never Do It Again.” The story has incident after incident of how criminality using the judicial system has entered mainstream corporate India and threatens anyone in a leadership position. This was shocking Take Patrick Casserly, the former COO of Cambata Aviation, who spent three months in Arthur Road jail because his employer had failed to pay around ₹18 crore in service tax. “How can I guarantee the repayment of service tax?” he later told an interviewer. “It’s not my Money. I don’t have that Money.” In my book “Getting Dressed and Parking Cars”, the cornerstone chapter is “Getting Arrested”. In it, I describe how an INTERN downloaded a “trial version” of a file compression program, forgot about it, and which ended in a FIR being filed against me at Tardeo Police Station, Mumbai. I spent 1.5 days in that station. Takeaways: - Being a business leader in India means being a person who can be subject to ANY treatment by the police and courts without logic. - “To do or not to do” is the question one should ask before taking on a leadership role in India Vineet Relia is the author of this article in the ET. #dhandhekibaat : India mein dhandha karna matlad marne ke liye tayaar rahena.

@Pramod_Rao_ Pramod, thank you. The process-uncertainty point is the one I'd most want readers to hold. Civil cost = criminal cost in defending against an illogical proceeding. That asymmetry is the whole problem.

This should prompt us to also embrace alternative approaches such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration and in an online setting: Online Dispute Resolution Replug: x.com/pramod_rao_/st… 4/4

@Chikisarkar Thank you Chiki, and for the line. "They all do" is the whole book in three words.

@ReliaVineet is a crisis manager - he gets called by businesses when things go wrong. And they all do-

Most MDs believe they'd handle a crisis well. Most have never had one. The ones who have don't talk about it much.

@anjileeistwal Already HR is the biggest issue, having 2 different people will ruin the efficiency further. Already labour arbitrage is a kind of myth as the work culture makes people work only 6 hrs out of the 10 they are supposed to ..... anyways like the concept from removing unemployment

Narayana Murthy cites Chinese 9-9-6 system to back 72-hour work week for ‘Nation Building’. BETTER IDEA: Why don’t moneybag companies hire 2 people to work 6hr each & cover that 12 hour shift. solve unemployment problem, increase per capita income & build nation #narayanmurthy

@anjileeistwal Same here.... my issue is whenever I watch India ends up loosing, so gave up

Watching Cricket for me is just waste of time…so I am choosing to waste my time on social media instead 😂 #asiacup2025final #INDvsPAK

@anjileeistwal Seriously.... I am sure we have better things than to probe in their lives. Does Nation seriously want to know?

Let’s be done with our obsession with #SonamRaghuvanshi news

@anjileeistwal Congratulations!!

My first bulletin on India Today

Maybe seeding some Indian MP' to NZ for a study tour will make parliament sessions very interesting and some good TV as well ! instagram.com/reel/DCV1Nfwx3…

CEO or freelancer, prioritize sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Set boundaries that work for you. There is no merit in working yourself to exhaustion. Take care of yourself, so you can do the best work possible.

Business success is not a one-size-fits-all template. A CEO's role and responsibilities differ from that of a freelancer. It’s important to find what works for you and do what's best for your mental and physical health.

If you're a CEO, you're allowed to go to bed at 9pm and wake up at 5am. If you're a freelancer, you should be grinding 18 hours a day and sleep when you're dead.

The police in Mumbai are doing their best to ensure the safety of all citizens, but it's a reminder that more needs to be done to address the issue of safety and security in the city.

While it's admirable that Saif Ali Khan is able to live his best life despite being a Bollywood icon, it's important to remember that not everyone has the same luxury.

It is truly unbelievable: Bollywood icon Saif Ali Khan lives sans any security guard or chowkidar. the incident is similar to what you hear from the low income housing or Jhuggis as u call them 🤯 Just so confusing #mumbai police #saifalikhan #kareenakapoor
