work/kaam?
hey, hi, hello. currently, i am using 40 grams of charm, 100 grams of mellow drama, 2 tablespoons of ai, and 2 cups of coffee to help companies process payments globally in high-risk industries. i work from home. till date, i have closed deals of more than $800,000 (super close to a million) in 6 months.
i get to meet and talk to jews, brits, americans, europeans, and people from different cultures, time zones, and thought processes on any given day. interesting? yes. exposure? super high. easy job? not at all. do i love it? fuck yes.
side projects?
1/ renascia
a group of selected high-agency, highly ambitious, low-ego people working across different industries with the same work ethic. it's an attempt to build a group like junto by benjamin franklin. if you're interested, let's talk. we'll see how it goes.
2/ personal mba
i like to set and build a curriculum for myself to learn what i am curious about, what i'm interested in, what will help long term, and from the best people and resources. it covers domains like game design principles, storytelling used by cult leaders, humor, the use of gossip in society and how it can be used in content, distribution, and personal branding, and many more things.
Hobbies & Passions?
1/ reading
i read mostly non-fiction. psychology, biographies, and history. started reading a bit of fiction recently (atlas shrugged by ayn rand, 1000+ pages long, 202 done), and started re-reading philosophy, especially osho. his lectures on ashtavakra gita, krishna, and his commentary on kabir das' poems. it makes me hallucinate reality.
2/ writing
i've had my own substack for the last 3 odd years. i write anything and everything i find interesting. what's my genre? idk, arpit, i guess it's me. it's more personal, introspective, reflective. i also get randomly motivated after getting overly caffeinated and start writing bangers on twitter/x.
and when i have nothing interesting to do, i write on linkedin and pretend to be busy and productive while i have nothing to be obsessed about. haven't written anything in the last 3 months or so on linkedin. still, you can check there.
3/ gym and saunas
i love leg days, especially on monday. nothing keeps you more humble than a sales job and a leg day. i like to be humble (externally at least). when life gets heavy, i go for a long walk with or without music and hit the sauna whenever possible. keeps my mind clear and calm.
4/ improv comedy
these days, i am learning improv comedy. why? multiple reasons. the major one is that it helps me have fun, be free, and be more expressive, which makes me tell better stories and jokes in conversations with friends, family, and clients. the easiest way to build bonds is through stories and jokes.
5/ swim
when i need to think, relax, and reflect, i go and swim. i also play fifa 26 when i am frustrated and need to let it out. it all comes under mental health.
life lately?
sexy. as always. my coffee tastes good, nusrat fateh ali khan is playing in my ears, learning new things daily, earning well, flirting passionately, sidequest-maxxing. all of my close friends are winning, and my family and friends are in good health. what else do we need?
