Life Rules I Learned From IIT to IAS to Corporate

Описание: Recently, during a talk at an IIM, a student asked: “Sir, what do you wish you’d known when you were younger?”

Turns out, there’s no single secret. Instead, there are 7 life rules that have shaped my journey—from IIT Kanpur, through 16 years as an IAS officer, to leading in the corporate world. These rules won’t make life easy, but they will make it clearer—and more fulfilling.

Whether you’re looking for career advice, life lessons, or a success mindset, this video distills the hard-earned wisdom I wish I’d had years ago.

In this video, you’ll discover:

👉 Rule 1: Everyone is the hero of their own story

👉 Rule 2: People are not rational — stop expecting them to be

👉 Rule 3: Ambiguity is opportunity

👉 Rule 4: The world owes you nothing

👉 Rule 5: Fear only goes when you face it

👉 Rule 6: Most problems come from inefficiency, not malice

👉 Rule 7: Time cures almost everything

These lessons come from real stories—handling bureaucracy, leading teams, and making career-defining choices.
