Inspired by Derek Sivers, this is where I share what I am working on now (last updated in Aug 2026) and like me, this page shall remain a perpetual WIP!
So, I am working on a million things at any given point in time. While listing all those would defeat the purpose, on this page, I will list things that I am thinking about and things I need help with.
Also, before we get to the list, I want to talk about my ethos. And what I am excited about these days. Here’s an incomplete list…
- AI. Of course.
- Storytelling. Of course.
- Freedom. Read more here.
- Being useful. By lending my shoulder to others.
- Paying it forward.
I am working on, and need help with the following.
In no order…
➡️ Some Startup
I want to do a large business that impacts a billion people and helps me build wealth. So that I can live my destiny of sai itna dijiye*. Right now, as on Aug 2026, I am thinking about something in the real estate space, something around fractional leadership and of course, C4E.
*read more about it here.
➡️ C4E.
Along with a hand-picked team of great people, am working on making C4E one of the leading marketing services companies.
In the words of my colleague Pooja, we want to “help build a brand that becomes a verb.”
Come entrust your brand with us. Here’s a promise to you and your team!
Oh, I am building C4E in public. Here’s a list of open challenges that I need help with. This file has not been updated since 2024 and I must do it soon.
➡️ My second book.
My first one is here.
I have been planning to write this one for almost 6 8 10 12 years now. I have given myself an internal deadline of the end of the year (2024 2026) to get the publishable draft ready. Let’s see where we go from here.
To help me with it, I started #lfwc2, a cohort of other writers that is helping each other out. I ran that in 2023 as well (#lfwc3). I want to do a 4th edition but I don’t know when. Let’s see.
I am also looking for beta readers (aka guinea pigs to test-read the content and give me feedback). In case you are interested, please let me know.
➡️ Bouncing board and sparring partner to select founders.
I’ve started to acknowledge that I will probably never be the player, but be that coach. With all respect, I also know that the ones who can do, do and the ones who cant, teach. And I’ve started to see that teaching is a good way to live vicariously. So, till I find my jam, I act as bouncing board and sparring partner to select people. If you’d like to work with me, see these links and do reach out.
➡️ Ghostwriter for your story.
I’ve done some with a few business leaders and I saw the joy on their faces when the book started to take shape. So, I’ve started to offer my time to folks who want to write books. More details are here.
➡️ I am a shoulder to the following…
By shoulder, I mean that I play a supporting role while independent teams at these run the business on a day-to-day basis.
- Decoding Draupadi. Anshika and team work on this on a day to day basis.
- Yellow. Chandni, Aarya and team team run this.
There are new things that I constantly think about and I continue to explore. More about me is on my LinkedIn.
In the past, I have worked on the following…
In no order…
➡️ Long Haul Ventures.
I was active on this in 2022. I have put this on hold.
We want to help first-time founders raise capital and create connections. We made one or two investments but they didnt reach anywhere. I will get back to this at some point in time.
➡️ NotesForGrowth.
Along with a couple of friends, I used to run this initiative to help people take better notes. We said, “between the three of us, we have seen this insane transformation that better notes can bring about. We want to share that method. And the madness. We offer free sessions to individuals and paid workshops for companies. Help us get access to these companies that may want to improve how their companies work!”
This is now parked. Especially after AI and all that.
➡️ Ghostwritten a business book (told in an autobiographical manner) that is a national bestseller. Edited a couple of other books. Each of them is a best seller.
➡️ Helped The Red Sparrow take wings. I moved on from it in Mar 2024.
➡️ Helped Purple Pencil Project write their story. I moved on from it in Nov 2024.
➡️ Helped The Podium take a stage. We wanted to be among the best podcasting networks in the world. However, after 3+ years of effort, Akshay and I realised that it is not the most optimal use of our time. In March of 2024, we decided to take it slow. In Oct 2024, I moved on from it. Akshay runs it as a personal project now.
That’s about it.
Thanks for reading,
SG
