Five Brutal Realities About Investing, According to Ankur Aggarwal
Aggarwal argues that caution, while comfortable, rarely produces exceptional outcomes. For him, the willingness to take measured risks is what distinguishes those who act from those who only aspire.
He maintains that setbacks are not signals to withdraw but indicators of how committed one is to long-term goals.
According to Aggarwal, financial growth mirrors the gradual rise of real-estate value—slow to show, then noticeable all at once.
He suggests that many young investors undermine themselves by following trends they don’t fully understand, rather than making informed decisions.
Aggarwal emphasizes that networks often open doors before business plans do, citing his own collaborations, including one with actor-entrepreneur Vivek Oberoi.

Icertis acquires Dioptra to deliver AI-first contracting experience for legal Teams
India, Nov 27: Icertis, the global leader in AI-powered contract intelligence, today announced the acquisition of Dioptra to further accelerate its best-of-breed AI technology for enterprise contracting. This marks the next milestone in the company’s long-term AI strategy following the launch of Icertis Vera and signals an inflection point in contract lifecycle management (CLM) innovation.
More than 80 percent of C-suite leaders are ready to let AI agents support contract negotiations, and AI capabilities from Icertis and Dioptra are turning this vision into reality. Dioptra’s surgical redlining and automated playbook creation augment the Icertis Contract Intelligence platform to advance speed and accuracy in contract operations and reimagine every contract interaction as an AI-first experience.
“Icertis and Dioptra share a commitment to keep customers at the forefront of what’s possible with AI. Their technology and talent are the perfect complement to underscore our leadership and enable Icertis to deliver even greater value across the entire contract lifecycle,” said Anand Subbaraman, CEO, Icertis. “Icertis has the most robust contract data repository in the market, and that enables us to deliver more accurate AI that understands the intention of contracts. Dioptra’s legal-centric tools will be an added catalyst to adoption of our platform as we continue to define the future of contracting with breakthrough AI.”
Contract data was historically housed in an average of 24 different systems, according to World Commerce & Contracting. Today, Icertis Contract Intelligence unifies contract data across the enterprise, delivering AI-driven insights, operations, and performance in one platform to streamline contract creation, optimise negotiations, and position businesses to realise long-term outcomes from their agreements. Dioptra builds on the Icertis platform’s operations capabilities – powered by Vera – with pre-signature agents that automate playbook creation based on existing contracts and handle first line of review on every new agreement. Together, this next-gen AI brings enterprises one step closer to fully autonomous contracting – where every agreement performs as intended and legal talent is deployed to its highest and best use.
“Becoming part of Icertis was a natural next step after Dioptra’s success as a Y Combinator startup and the early results from our partnership,” said Farah Gasmi, Co-founder of Dioptra. “It was clear from day one that we have a shared mindset around the opportunity to transform contracts into strategic business assets, and our team is excited to help drive this next chapter in Icertis’ journey as an AI company.”
Dioptra’s founders, hailing from Spotify, IBM Watson, and academic roles at Columbia University, will join the Icertis product and engineering teams to shape the future of AI-powered contract intelligence. Their legal expertise will further evolve the Icertis AI roadmap, positioning customers to gain:
· Automated playbook creation based on existing contracts to speed time to value, reinforce negotiation best-practices, and maximise outcomes with fully custom, AI-ready playbooks.
· Agent-powered risk review that instantly pinpoints noncompliance with governance standards and generates a streamlined issues list to minimise liability.
· Interactive surgical redlines that align precisely with bespoke playbooks to drive greater efficiency in contract reviews and alleviate legal workloads.
· One-click clause insertion via an integrated clause library to expedite contract drafting and pre-signature processes.
“Enterprises – particularly legal teams – demand accuracy, transparency, and defensibility from AI. Icertis is the AI company legal departments can trust to bridge the gap between innovation and governance and deploy contract AI with confidence,” said Subbaraman.
Icertis makes every contract deliver to turn contract clarity into operational confidence. Through next-gen offerings like Vera Agents, deep partnerships with AI leaders like SAP and Microsoft, and the financial viability to invest in long-term innovation, Icertis is rapidly advancing contract-specific AI that reflects the true intent of business agreements.

Manoj Bajpayee Encourages Fans to Visit Nagaland After Filming The Family Man Season 3
Manoj Bajpayee Urges Fans to Visit Nagaland “At Least Once in Their Lifetime” After Filming in North-East for The Family Man Season 3
The Family Man Season 3 premiered on Prime Video on November 21, and fans across the globe have been deep into binge mode ever since. Among the many things the new season has been praised for including the performances, the action, the writing, and the scale but also the subtle, respectful, and visually rich portrayal of the Northeast, especially Nagaland and parts of Assam. For Manoj Bajpayee, this shoot wasn’t just another schedule. It was a first-time encounter with a part of India he had never seen up close.
Sharing his experience of visiting the region for the first time, Manoj said,
“Nagaland is so amazing that it’s difficult to describe in words. I had never visited this part of the country before, and coming here for The Family Man shoot has been truly enriching. We spent a few weeks filming, and every day gave us wonderful experiences. The people, the food, the culture – everything felt so warm and genuine.”
Reflecting on how deeply the place impacted him, he added,
“It’s been a complete eye-opener. I really want to urge everyone to visit Nagaland at least once in their lifetime. The place feels so pure, untouched and clean — the kind of natural beauty you don’t see very often. One thing that surprised me was how early the day starts here. We’d wake up at 4:30 or 5 AM, and the sun would already be shining like it’s 9 or 10 in the morning. Everyone is up and active early, and it just shows how closely people live with nature.”
Calling it a must-visit destination, Manoj continued, “There are very few places where you see human life adjusting itself so beautifully around the environment, the flora and fauna. Nagaland is exactly that — incredibly green, and the people are extremely welcoming and warm-hearted. It’s a must-visit place.”
He also spoke warmly about working with Northeastern actors such as Paalin Kabak, Rigen Ngomle, Poonam Gurung, and Vihotu Swu.
“I’m also very happy that so many actors and artists from the Northeast are part of The Family Man Season 3,” expressed Manoj. “Talking to them and getting to know them has been a surreal experience. They are so global in their thinking, tech, fashion, and learning, yet so deeply rooted in their culture and traditions. I’m sure that after watching Season 3, a lot of people will want to come and experience this beautiful place for themselves.”
That admiration flows both ways. Paalin Kabak, who plays Stephen in Season 3, has also expressed heartfelt gratitude for the experience of working on the show. His recent Instagram note reflects the warmth and mutual respect shared on set. “From attending @bajpayee.manoj bhai’s workshop during my NSD days… to sharing the screen with him in The Family Man Season 3, I quite consider this a masterclass in acting, one that was truly priceless,” wrote Paalin.
Written by Raj, DK, and Suman Kumar, featuring dialogues by Sumit Arora, the groundbreaking series is directed by Raj & DK, with Suman Kumar and Tusshar Seyth joining as directors this season. Headlined by Manoj Bajpayee as the nation’s beloved Family Man, Srikant Tiwari, this season also boasts returning favourites Sharib Hashmi (JK Talpade), Priyamani (Suchitra Tiwari), Ashlesha Thakur (Dhriti Tiwari), Vedant Sinha (Atharv Tiwari), Shreya Dhanwanthary (Zoya), and Gul Panag (Saloni), among others, in key roles, with Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur joining the ensemble as the formidable new antagonists. The Family Man Season 3 is streaming now exclusively on Prime Video in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

India’s Top Finance Influencer Rachana Ranade Speaks at FLO Hyderabad on “Money Matters. Mindset Matters More.
Hyderabad, Nov 25: FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO), Hyderabad Chapter, organised a unique and empowering session titled “Money Matters. Mindset Matters More,” featuring India’s leading financial educator and fin-fluencer, Rachana Ranade, at Hyatt Place, Banjara Hills.
One of India’s most influential voices in financial literacy, Rachana Ranade is widely respected for simplifying complex financial concepts for the masses. By breaking down financial jargon into relatable, easy-to-understand insights, she has made investing accessible to beginners and seasoned investors alike — including millions who are not fluent in English.
With a mission to democratise financial education, her content has reached millions through YouTube and other digital platforms. Her impact on India’s financial learning ecosystem has earned her a place in Forbes India’s Top 100 Digital Stars.
Separate the finance and gender. Women think that finance management is not their cup of tea. That is not correct. It doesn’t have any gender difference said Rachana Ranade
Warren Buffet started making long term vestments at the age of 92 years. Age is just a number. It doesn’t matter what is your age to invest money, she added
For learning, age is not the bar. Before you start your financial journey, be aware of fundamentals of finance management, she said. She spoke to the packed hall.
At the FLO Hyderabad session, she covered a broad spectrum of topics — personal finance, stock market investing, mutual funds, IPO evaluation, and practical strategies for building long-term wealth.
The theme resonated deeply with FLO’s objective of helping women rethink their relationship with money — emphasising not just financial tools, but the mindset that shapes investment behaviour, wealth creation, and financial confidence.
Delivering her welcome address, Prathibha Kunda, Chairperson, FLO Hyderabad, said the global economic landscape has positioned women as key drivers of financial decision-making.
She observed, “The world is waking up to a powerful truth: women are not just participants in the economy — they are becoming the largest economic force on the planet. When we change how women think about money, we unlock not just personal wealth but global economic potential.”
Highlighting the urgency of financial literacy, she added, “Only one in three adults globally is financially literate, with women disproportionately disadvantaged. Mindset matters more than ever. Financial education isn’t a luxury — it is a necessity. Our goal is to help women own their financial stories with confidence.”
Speaking about Rachana Ranade’s inspirational journey, Prathibha noted, “Rachana didn’t enter classrooms — she built one for an entire nation. She transformed finance from fear into freedom for over five million learners.”
FLO Hyderabad continues to strengthen its role as a catalyst for women’s empowerment. This year alone, it has conducted 23+ impactful programmesacross digital literacy, STEM, grassroots livelihood development, sales leadership, women directors’ training, and community outreach — collectively benefiting more than 3,700 women across the region.
