A potter named Raghav crafted stunning pots, only to watch them shatter in the kiln.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐭.
You’ve got the vision, the hype, the MVP. But if your people foundation is weak, the pressure will crack you.
Many early-stage founders believe HR can wait until chaos hits at just 10 employees:
𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: “Who owns what?”
𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭: “Why is everyone exhausted?”
𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐮𝐦𝐬: “No one knows if they’re winning.”
Simple frameworks for clarity, feedback, and growth aren't bureaucracy; they’re your culture’s backbone.
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐋&𝐃 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥.
Teach founders to delegate (so they don’t bottleneck growth).
Coach first-time managers before not-so-good habits set in.
Run micro-sprints to skill-up fast.

Your tech and marketing get all the love. But your people? They’re the clay.
Weak clay = beautiful but brittle pots.
Strong clay = vessels that endure.

Ask yourself today: “Are we designing pots—or building endurance?”

Fondly remembering our colleague 𝙎𝒂𝙢𝒓𝙖𝒕 𝑺𝙞𝒏𝙝𝒂, whose vision and insights from the very beginning helped lay our foundation. Revisiting his 2016 blog is a poignant reminder of the legacy he left with us.

𝑨𝙗𝒐𝙪𝒕 𝒕𝙝𝒆 𝑨𝙪𝒕𝙝𝒐𝙧 (𝑨 𝑻𝙧𝒊𝙗𝒖𝙩𝒆 𝒕𝙤 𝙎𝒂𝙢𝒓𝙖𝒕 𝑺𝙞𝒏𝙝𝒂):
Some people leave a job. Others leave a legacy.
Samrat wasn’t just a colleague; he was a storyteller, a mentor, and the kind of person who made work feel like an adventure. With 19 years in telecom and a knack for turning ideas into compelling narratives, he didn’t just write about capability building; he lived it.
His 2016 piece on Excellential (see below!) wasn’t just a blog; it was a love letter to innovation, penned with his trademark wit and curiosity. Whether crafting short stories or strategizing greenfield telecom rollouts, Samrat had this rare gift: he made the complex feel simple, and the ordinary feel extraordinary.
We lost him too soon. But his words, his laughter, and his relentless belief in “smarter, better, funnier” ways of working? That stays with us.
Rest easy, Samrat. Your mark on our hearts and our work is forever.

“The world changes when someone cares enough to think differently.”
— A line Samrat would’ve loved.

ARE YOU DEVELOPING EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT TEAMS?
With a dynamic and ever-changing business culture, in order to thrive and sustain results, emotional intelligence has become an essential competency. The motivation to deliver excellence is contagious and it spreads faster if teams are emotionally self-aware, regulated, and comprehend the role of empathy.

Every Rolls Royce is a car, but not every car is a Rolls Royce. Similarly, not every team is a high-performing team, unless you start building and developing one.
Excellential has already partnered with startups and established businesses to bring the "cohesion", "shared values", "mutual trust and respect" and "constant evaluation" of the the teams (with the teams).

Best way to keep your child rooted is to encourage them to learn about beliefs and rituals of Hinduism.
If they know the story, the logic and principles behind it, they certainly would want to follow it.
