1. The Art Of Bitfulness
Keeping Calm in the Digital World
A practical guide to building a calmer relationship with technology, it shows how to reclaim attention by designing devices, apps, and routines around intention rather than impulse. The book introduces simple frameworks and “modes” for work and life, encourages batching communication, taming notifications, and adding healthy friction, and offers tactics for email, messaging, and phone use that protect deep work. It extends beyond personal habits to team norms and broader systems, arguing for humane, sustainable practices that make the digital world serve human goals instead of hijacking them.

2. Rebooting India
Realizing a Billion Aspirations
An action-oriented blueprint for transforming public services through technology and systemic reform, it proposes scalable, low-cost solutions—universal digital identity, paperless workflows, cashless payments, and direct benefit transfers—built on open, interoperable platforms. By combining policy innovation with public–private collaboration and strong data privacy safeguards, it outlines practical roadmaps across finance, healthcare, education, agriculture, and urban infrastructure to curb leakages, boost transparency, and unlock broad-based economic opportunity.
