That’s why we want to tell you how we go about hiring at C4E. Think about the last team you applied to work with. What was your first interaction with them like? How did their first email make you feel? What did you tell your friend about the org? Starting work at a new place comes with all...
Hi! My name is Saurabh. Mostly found lurking on Twitter at @saurabh or at saurabhgarg.com. And if you are here, you either want to know more about the cohort we run for young people, or you have a bone to pick with me! In either case, here is who we are in a nutshell. We’re a...
If there’s one thing we’re AFRAID of as a small team, it is the Big Company Syndrome. See this? It’s our nightmare. Waiting for a clear brief to be shared, NOT moving our backside unless we’re nudged by the “person in charge”, doing the bare minimum, and getting stuck in the loop of processes and approvals instead of...
Yesterday I was at yet another C4E Table and I realized that these tables are the epitome of People Create Magic. These tables bring people from varied backgrounds / experiences and allow me to spark serendipity, learn new things, make new friends and think beyond what I could otherwise!

The C4E "Rejection" You’ve applied to multiple companies this month. It’s been both exciting and exhausting – chasing people for confirmations, working on multiple copy tests (all while thinking, I should not be working on unpaid samples), and figuring out the sweet spot of follow-ups.

And that's why, this year, we've all decided to share snippets of our lives, at work and outside, through the lessons we learn each...
The lore has it that the Pandavas spent 13 years in exile. And while on the looks of it, it seems they were merely in exile, they were doing what everyone in exile must do - survive. And prepare for the war. Which is always impending. You just don't know when. Especially when you are in...
Here's a short note that we wrote for ourselves, reminding each other about how business communication could be effective and pleasant at the same time. So, we as a team have been on the receiving end of numerous emails asking us for updates. With time, we've sort of mastered the art of sending such emails. Here's how...
So, you’re finally here! Welcome! If you are reading this, this means we’ve exchanged a few hellos or even had a lengthy and philosophical conversation about business, sports, life, and anything, but the weather. Here’s a short note about us. About who we are, why we exist, what we do, how we do what we do and what to...
