#1 - A New Beginning

Hey,

Today’s my 21st birthday, and I decided to launch Epiphanies.

I was born and raised in Jamnagar, a small town in the extreme west of India. That’s where I’m writing to you from right now - surrounded by familiar streets, countless memories, and the kind of calm that only small towns have.

Why This Newsletter Exists

A couple of weeks ago, I had a life-changing conversation with my friend Gaurav Easwaramoorthy. I was trying to figure out how to break into private equity as an intern. He shared some incredible insights with me—stuff that directly helped me land the role.

When I asked him why he shared so much with me, he said something that stuck:

That one sentence flipped a switch in my brain.

Afterward, I shared some of my own “tricks” for content creation with him—what I like to call my art. He implemented them and saw results.

It made me think: almost everything I’ve learned has come from others sharing their insights. Podcasts, YouTube videos, books, or even random conversations—it’s all just people organising their thoughts and putting them out there. This newsletter is my attempt to do the same.

I’m not here to preach, though. I practice. I’m sharing what I’m learning, reflecting on my journey, and figuring things out as I go. This is me putting my thoughts into words so that maybe, just maybe, they’ll resonate with you too.

What You’ll Find Here

Each week, I’ll share 2-3 epiphanies. These are moments of clarity I’ve had—lessons from my own experiences.

I’ll write about things like:

• Entrepreneurship

• Athletics

• Career moves

• Academics

• Life in general

These aren’t recycled ideas or motivational fluff. They’re thoughts I’ve wrestled with, tested out, and come to conclusions on. They’re reflections from my journey.

Current Reads

I usually have two books going at any given time—one technical and one that’s just fun.

1. The Startup Code by Mukesh Bansal

2. The Psychology of the Esoteric by Osho

My Gift to you

Since it’s my birthday and the launch of Epiphanies, I want to give you something special.

I’m sharing my Notion template, The Perpetual Student, for FREE (it’s normally $17, but today it’s on me).

This template is a system I use to learn more effectively from everything I consume—books, podcasts, videos, and even conversations.

Here’s what it includes:

• Templates for taking notes on books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and conversations.

• A content consumption archive (so you actually remember what you learned).

• Tools to help you organise and apply knowledge.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to use the template:

Thanks for being here.

Until then,
