About

Are you training the monkey first? Astro Teller, the "Captain of Moonshots" at X, Alphabet's Innovation lab, talks about an interesting analogy. I quote from Teller's blog post, "Let’s say you’re trying to teach a monkey how to recite Shakespeare while on a pedestal. How should you allocate your time and money between training the monkey and building the pedestal?" Teller concludes that the right answer should always be to spend all your time on training the monkey to recite Shakespeare and ZERO time on building the pedestal. But there will always be folks who will focus on building a "world-class" pedestal. Why? Because it is easier to build a pedestal than train a monkey to recite Shakespeare. Building a pedestal gives a false sense of "work is progressing". How do we build this ability to solve for tough problems? The moonshot? By building the DOER mindset as a muscle. My unique career path has helped hone the unique ability to blend “Zero to One” & “Business As Usual (BAU)” mindsets to scale businesses. This is demonstrated in my experience across sectors and building completely new business models from the scratch.

Nokia india pvt. ltd

2 roles

Marketing Manager

Promoted

Sep 2006 – Oct 2010 · 4 yrs 1 mo

I worked on two business themes as a marketing manager with Nokia- Connecting the unconnected as a business theme was all about digging out hyper growth opportunities for mobile communication in rural India using conventional (vans) and unconventional (Micro-finance as a sales enabler with SKS Microfinance) routes.
Connecting the youth to their music was the other business theme that I worked on. With a strong value proposition and unique brand interventions like ZERO TVC approach, we built Nokia 5130 XpressMusic as the largest selling music phone of its time. On the other end of the spectrum, I worked on, what was then, Nokia Music Store- an online music store that allowed select Nokia phone users to experience the freedom of downloading original songs at no cost.
