Introducing #RodinWriter
I didn’t feel like waiting for the first week of January to make this announcement!! (I mean, there’s no fun in being conventional, naa??!!) So….every week we’ll celebrate one of our regular contributors and share their articles 🙂
Meet our first RodinWriter: Rahul Varshneya
What you might find very insightful is his piece on how the Arkenea team growth hacked their biz to generate $300 K in 9 months!
Last week’s newsletter was printed in gold :). Make extra time reading time over the weekend if you missed it.
Jaimala!
Don’t’ forget to check out the EVENTS – lots of startup action happening across cities!
If your new year resolution is to tell your current boss to fly a kite, then errrr…. You might wanna go through JOBS on #trh 🙂
In a fortnight we’ll be ringing out 2014. I seriously wonder how it flew by so fast? Clichéd but true! It’s been an interesting year here in Rodinhoodland. My wish, every single Friday, I have at least one story celebrating a Rodinhooder’s achievement to share.
Make that YOUR achievement, yeah?!
keep building. keep smiling.
but be kind to yourself.
take time off to celebrate YOU.
fondly,
