Been a While + Some Reflections

The last time I published something on Medium was almost 1 year or so ago

A lot has happened in the past year

1. Moved to Bangalore for 6 months or so

Had the best time of my life over there

Got to meet Sahil Bloom, Sahil Lavingia, and attended various events while there

• Hosted my first podcast event in Bangalore with one of India’s Top Podcasters in the startups and VC space
• Met a ton of crazy ambitious people

The talent density in Bangalore was insane

Some of my reflections after living in India on my own for the first time:

1. Joining communities, and doing the work even before you move

• Before moving to Bangalore I was an active member of Fueler community- so when I moved I knew a few people there

2. Be selective- but join different startups and VC events

• I am not the best at networking and small talk
• But living alone in Bangalore- I had to learn how to become better

3. Sometimes it can get lonely especially on the weekends, for meals

4. Everyone was so kind and helpful there

Here’s to the next chapter back home in Singapore!
