Mohan, after 25+ years of knowing you, this is another excellent example of the thoughtful perspective and intellectual depth you consistently bring to complex topics.
Your distinction between the “heat and dust” of the moment and the enduring foundations underneath really resonated with me, especially in today’s environment where everyone is chasing the next framework, title, or technology shift.
I especially appreciated the celestial navigation reference to the United States Naval Academy, my alma mater. Technology changes. Tools evolve. But the need for orientation, judgment, trust, and leadership under uncertainty endures.
This is a master class on what is durable - and thus how to think about a lasting business impact in the face of 30-day product cycles!!
Must-read for anyone, but especially founders of companies coming of age right now.
As the founder and CEO of a software start-up, I found this to be an optimistic view of the future.
Thanks for sharing and congrats on your amazing career teaching.
Would love to have the course material and any open course format that is available for your courses!
