Dugarr now has 'The Class', 'Half-Lion: How PV Narasimha Rao Transformed India' and 'The Trillion Dollar Coach' on his reading list.
Kausshal Dugarr, founder of Teabox, loves a good book in hand. He considers it a break from work, although he adds that his favourite place to read is in bed. The young entrepreneur has an impressive collection of books, ranging from autobiographies to books on the history of World War II.
Recently, while reading 'Laws of the Spirit' by Khorshed Bhavnagri, Dugarr says he came across a beautiful sentence that inspired him: “You can face your challenges bravely with a smile, or you can complain and indulge in self-pity.”
“This made me realise the ultimate purpose of life and how I should work towards it. The book taught me that life is about more than just achieving certain materialistic goals,” he says.

“Professionally, I want to go deeper into Artificial Intelligence (AI). I don’t know much about the subject. So, I will be spending a lot of time reading on it. I will be dabbling in articles on AI and coding sites on the internet. There are many DIY websites too that I am going to log in to learn about regression analysis using the AI model.”

“My personal goal is to do a reasonably long highway drive. South-East Asia has opened up and makes an emerging area to experiment. So, a road trip from India through Burma and all the way down to South-East Asia with my classmates from school is a plan.
“Professionally, I would like to learn a little more on Artificial Intelligence and how its use can be made widespread in everyday process automation and work life. I will be taking up a course on this subject. I understand that there are short courses available and I have been looking them up already.”

Bhavik Rathod Founder, Kyt
“I have been so focused on mobility with my previous role at Uber that I feel it is time for me to step up and learn more about blockchain and fintech now. My startup is about simplifying global travel. I will be reading on how blockchain or any other technology can be used to make crossing borders easier for travellers.
“Personally, I want to travel with my wife, three-and-a-half-year-old daughter and my dog. While I travel quite a bit with my dog domestically, Croatia is on top of the list to visit with my wife and daughter. It has beaches, hills, interesting culture, and great beer. It will pack in all for a good family trip.”.
