Hello, World! From One Wonderer to AnotherHello, World! Or should I say—hello, fellow Wonderers!Why BadriwhoWonders?Firstly, you might be wondering—why launch this platform? Test 2The simple truth is, I’ve always believed that if only we judged less and wondered more, the world would be a far richer, kinder, and more inclusive place. Ive asked myself reflecting back a decade of journey post my high school graduation, WHAT would Badri be if he had enough resources and finance as a career? Ive always found being a TEACHER is the answer to them. By bringing together a community of Wonderers, I dream of sparking a collective curiosity that challenges assumptions, nurtures creativity, and champions understanding.BadriwhoWonders isn’t just my personal corner of the internet—it’s an invitation. It’s a space for those who seek clarity, understanding, inspiration, or simply a momentary escape. It’s for dreamers and doers, thinkers and travelers, business builders and technology enthusiasts. It's for you.You might be curious—what exactly is a Wonderer?A Wonderer isn't just someone who wanders aimlessly, nor someone lost in daydreams. Instead, a Wonderer is an explorer of questions, a seeker of clarity in chaos, someone who isn’t afraid to challenge the ordinary, question the status quo, and relentlessly pursue the unknown. If you've ever found yourself questioning the everyday things everyone else takes for granted, congratulations—you're a Wonderer too.So, who am I, and why am I writing to you?I'm Badri, and I proudly wear my wonder as a badge of honor. Born in the beautiful land of Oman, my journey has taken me from the intricate world of computer software engineering to the dynamic, fast-paced realm of product management. Today, as a Lead Product Manager in travel technology, my role isn't just about building products—it's about crafting dreams, fueling aspirations, and creating pathways for others to discover the world.But this blog isn't about job titles or accolades. It’s about the journey. The curiosity. The endless questions that inspire not only travel, but innovation, growth, and above all—wonder.From Code to CuriosityMy path wasn't always straightforward. Engineering taught me structure, logic, and precision—but beneath the disciplined world of code, I discovered an insatiable hunger to understand the "why" behind everything. Why do people travel? What moves them? What makes businesses tick, succeed, fail, and rise again?I’ve found answers not in books or seminars alone, but in experiences, interactions, and countless conversations with strangers turned friends around the globe. Every journey was more than a trip—it was a lesson in human nature, cultures, economics, and innovation. My racquet sports—whether it’s a spirited game of badminton or a competitive round of squash—remind me constantly of the interplay of strategy, agility, and resilience needed both on and off the court.Travel: Flirting with the WorldTravel, for me, has always been more than sightseeing. It's about curating memories—both for myself and for others. I’ve come to realize that the most meaningful journeys aren’t measured in miles, but in moments—moments of awe, introspection, laughter, and wonder. That's partly why I find my professional purpose so fulfilling—helping others experience the joy of exploration fuels my own passion for adventure.Yet, even as my day job involves facilitating dream vacations, escapes, and adventures, my own travels have taught me that wonder lies as much in quiet introspection on a serene beach in Bali as it does in navigating the vibrant hustle of Istanbul’s bazaars.Business, Startups, and Ventures—Oh My!Beyond travel, my curiosity has led me deeply into the world of businesses, startups, and venture capital. I’ve found an almost addictive fascination in understanding how businesses operate, grow, pivot, scale—and sometimes, beautifully disrupt the norm. From late-night reads on unicorn startups to animated discussions on product-market fit, my passion lies in unraveling the mystery behind entrepreneurial success (and occasionally, failure).My aim here is simple: to share insights gained through my experience, demystify the intricacies of startups, discuss how technology and product management shape businesses, and perhaps even inspire some of you to embrace your entrepreneurial curiosity.Digital Services, Consulting, and Your GrowthBut my wonder extends further—into practical action. Through this platform, I intend to offer more than just my thoughts. As an independent consultant, I'll extend my expertise in marketing consulting, functional business consulting, branding, packaging, and design. Each of these, I've found, isn’t merely transactional—they’re deeply personal and profoundly impactful. Together, we'll craft brands that resonate, products that inspire, and strategies that unlock growth.Because at the heart of every business—startup or established—is a spark of wonder that deserves to be nurtured, protected, and celebrated.So, to you—the Wonderer who stumbled upon this page—I say thank you. You are exactly where you belong. Let’s wonder together, challenge assumptions, and perhaps even change a small part of our shared world in the process.Welcome to the journey, fellow Wonderer.With warmth and wonder,BadriChief Wondering Officer GGJoin our discord : https://discord.gg/pgv9mKhnmcCollaborate on Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6ns98npeHW5u766zE1MnBk?si=HedhHIozSbGucPCr0U6pEAhttps://www.youtube.com/live/fa3KTuru_W8?si=3FKbSySOJjYH0zcWPS: For the love of writing, the articles are not AI generated.
