About
Thinker. Writer. MBA.
I'm Mani. I write essays about culture, work, and the texture of ordinary life — often through the lens of an MBA trying to make sense of how systems shape people.

"Write the thing you wish someone had written for you."
Grew up curious about how systems and people work. Always more interested in the why than the what.
Built a foundation in systems, networks, and engineering design. Developed a habit of asking why things are built the way they are — and whether there’s a better way.
Designed telecom systems for critical oil & gas infrastructure. Worked across PAGA, FIDS, OTN, and Hotline systems. Learned how decisions on paper meet the complexity of reality.
Studying general management, strategy, and people. Writing about the intersection of engineering thinking and business leadership.
