5 AM Club
Quite often, people 🤔 ask me – how do you manage to do multiple things? My answer is that I belong to “The 5 AM Club ⏰”.
“The 5 AM Club” by Robin Sharma is a motivational book that revolves around a revolutionary concept: owning your morning to elevate your life. Here is an infographic visual of “The 5 AM Club”.
Central to the book is the idea of the 5 AM club—a routine where individuals wake up early, dedicate time to personal growth, and start their day with exercise, meditation, and learning. According to Robin Sharma, this practice enhances focus 🎯, productivity, and overall well-being❤️🩹.
Key lessons 💡 include the value of consistent habits, the power of self-discipline, the importance of escaping complacency, mastery of time and the significance of nurturing mind, body, and spirit.
The author blends storytelling with practical advice, presenting a compelling case for how the early morning hours can be leveraged to achieve personal transformation and extraordinary results. “The 5 AM Club” ⌚serves as both a motivational tale and a blueprint📘 for readers seeking to maximize their potential 📈and lead a life of purpose and fulfilment and achieve lasting success 🎇.

AI Washing – The New Face of Fraud
💡 AI Washing : The New Face of Fraud in the Digital Age
Surprised by hearing it as Fraud, isn’t it ???
**AI washing**, a deceptive practice where companies exaggerate their use of artificial intelligence, is on the rise. Surprisingly, the number of S&P 500 companies mentioning AI in their Q1 2024 earnings calls has skyrocketed 🚀by 249% compared to the five-year average.
This alarming 🔔trend highlights the urgent need for companies to be cautious about making broad claims regarding their AI capabilities.
Shargel, from Bracewell, advises organizations to create a clear definition of AI for internal use and regulatory filings to avoid potential scrutiny
CIOs and executives 👑 must thoroughly review their AI capabilities before making any public claims. Failure to do so could lead to misleading statements and potential legal consequences.
AI washing 📈is a form of fraud, that capitalizes on the growing demand for AI-powered solutions. It’s crucial for businesses to distinguish genuine AI innovations from marketing hype to make informed decisions and avoid investing in ineffective tools.
As the generative AI market is projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032, up from $128 billion in 2024, the temptation for companies to exaggerate their AI capabilities will only increase.
In nutshell, AI washing is a new and concerning trend that requires immediate attention from companies, regulators, and investors alike.

Angel Investment – Planys Technologies
📢 I’m excited to share that Planys Technologies, a deep tech startup I invested in early on, secured funding last quarter from the esteemed investor Ashish Kacholia.
Mr. Kacholia is renowned for his exceptional 🧠 ability to identify promising ventures with high growth 💹 potential. His recognition of Planys Technologies as a valuable investment is a strong endorsement of the company’s innovative technology and talented team.
While I may not have formal training in angel investing, this successful outcome reinforces my confidence in identifying promising early-stage companies. It’s particularly rewarding to see such a respected investor share my vision for Planys Technologies.
