Last week, my wife and I had the incredible opportunity to attend a TiE retreat in Kyoto, Japan. TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) is a global network aimed at fostering entrepreneurship through mentoring, networking, education, funding, and incubation. With members from across the globe, it provides a vast platform for startups and professionals to connect and grow.

At the retreat, we connected with over 200 Charter Members from around the world. It was an enriching experience that not only broadened our professional network but also deepened our understanding of various entrepreneurial insights.

A highlight of the retreat was meeting Shiv Khera, the renowned author of the international bestseller “You Can Win”. Discussing the Skill/Commitment matrix with him opened our eyes to new perspectives and inspired us tremendously.

We also extended our trip to Tokyo and Osaka, embracing the beauty and cultural heritage of Japan. From the majestic views of Mount Fuji to the serene Lake Ashi, the historical Senso-ji Temple and Meiji Shrine and the vibrant Geisha performances, every moment was mesmerizing. Highlights included exploring the Osaka Castle, strolling through the serene bamboo gardens, 10000+ Tori Gates at Fushimi Shrine, and a unique traditional lunch prepared by monks.

This journey was a blend of learning, inspiration, and cultural exploration. Feeling grateful for the experiences and connections made. Here’s to more adventures and continuous learning!
