Sramana Mitra: I want to double click on English as a second language. In March last year, we were in India, and my father took us to see a school in rural West Bengal, quite far from Calcutta, which is the main metropolis in that region.

What constitutes good startup mentoring?
I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields.
