Connecting the Dots
Between Technology… Business… Society
From Stones to Phones, innovations powered by technology have shaped our lives forever.
Meet Hari
Welcome to a journey to connect the dots between technology, business, and society.
Over several decades, I have been fortunate to bring to market over 25 products and services in startups and Fortune 100 firms, while serving in roles including general management, strategy, and marketing. Those offerings ranged from millions to billions in revenues and spanned software, hardware, and services.
This site is a repository of learnings and perspectives gathered from smart teams and people I worked with over decades. Here you will find reflections based on my experience in the business of technology in multiple industries – from internet to telecom to manufacturing to healthcare.

The Ultimate Interplay
Over a decade ago I began to think about connecting the dots on the interplay between technology, business, and society – on how technologies of all forms change the business landscape and dramatically alter the contours of our society.
The following examples illustrate the recent effects of this interplay.
Internet reshaped how we communicated; new telecom policies introduced in the 20th century changed the face of communications as we know it.
Gig Economy powered by technology gave us services like ridesharing that changed the nature of employment between workers and companies.
Material technologies underlie new products from batteries to wearables.
Telework and Telehealth went mainstream when Covid-19 had us rethink how we work and how we get access to health care.
The technology spectrum from materials to digital technologies is being mixed and matched in every industry. It is accelerating the pace of innovation.
It is often hard to keep up with this at the macro level or even the granular level. On this site, we will explore ways to put these innovations in perspective – on how they affect business innovations or how we thrive as a society.
