One thing is non-negotiable in life

Mahati Vispute met Debopriya Chakroborty on a panel in Koramangala, then again the week after, and came away with one line she kept.

Last Saturday, I attended an eChai Ventures meetup in Koramangala. One of the panelists was DEBOPRIYA CHAKROBORTY, CEO of Antrapreneur, a business incubator that has supported 200+ startups in Gujarat. She was kind enough to meet with me this week.

During the meeting, she gave me many advices. Here's one that stuck with me:

✨ One thing is non negotiable in life - Consistency ✨
And it applies everywhere - at a company, at a gym, as a founder, in a relationship. Everywhere.

She gave a simple example: Calling your parents for 2 minutes every day matters more to them than sending diamonds once a month with no phone call in between.

In the context of personal branding, she encouraged me to share my work and thoughts consistently. Not for followers but to build data: When you're older and start forgetting all that you've done, scroll through your own social media. When you're feeling low, go back to your work and remember who you really are.

I want this LinkedIn to be that for me. A work diary I can open whenever I want to look back. I've tried being consistent before and it hasn't been easy. I'm hoping to stay consistent now.

Grateful for the rooms my workplace, stotio puts me in. 🙏
