Pencil at work:: Website of the month June.

Have you ever wondered what is the effect pencil can have.. I mean the depth of emotions a pencil sketch can generate.. The different colors a simple lead pencil exhibit.. I started wondering all these when i came across PenciatWork. A site which belongs to some pencil sketch artist in India.

So you must be wondering whats so unique about this page. Then my answer is lots. To start with it has a very different and interesting web design. The Home page in itself is a collage of some of his works. With a slip note that acts as an index frame. And as the name of the website goes PencilatWork .. there is no mouse pointer to navigate!! Surprised don worry they provide a pencil to navigate with which one can draw also as much he desires.

The Gallery is in form of a card of which one have to change each and every page to view his

piece of art.. Each work is a master piece in itself. And you would see lots of celebrities from the angry looking Amithabh Bachan to of beautiful and ever smiling Julia Roberts.

Moreover it also has a Tutorial for the beginners who wanna take up the art as hobby.The design of the tutorial is in form of a booklet which highlights the fine pints of this art.

Finding it interesring and wanna Order one for yourself then visit the ordering section and be owner of a masterpiece.

So with no doubt at all PencilatWork is the website of the
month for CenSorE visitors. Do visit the page http://www.pencilatwork.com to find out more.

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

From Stubborn to Smart: How I Learned to Use AI as a PM

Listen to the article in podcast format on PM-AI Diaries channel on Spotify! Ever since I published "The Death of the Stubborn PM" back in February, my inbox has been buzzing with one big question: “Okay, I get that AI is the future for product managers—but how do I actually use it?” It’s a fair ask. In that piece, I argued that PMs who resist AI are doomed to fade away, like dinosaurs refusing to evolve. As I wrote, “The stubborn PM who clings to old ways will die out, replaced by those who harness AI’s power while leaning into what makes us human.” Now, people want the playbook. So, let’s walk through it with a story—my own journey of figuring this out, backed by some sharp insights from MIT Sloan’s "When Humans and AI Work Best Together—and When Each Is Better Alone" . The Wake-Up Call Picture me a few months back: a PM buried in work, juggling a dozen tasks, and feeling like there weren’t enough hours in the day. Writing user stories, sketching ideas, track...

The Death of the Stubborn PM

Product Management is undergoing a seismic shift, much like programming did when compilers replaced assembly language or when Agile dismantled waterfall dogma. Stubborn PMs who cling to outdated rituals—like treating PRDs as sacred texts—will fade into irrelevance. The future belongs to those who embrace AI as a collaborator, not a threat. AI Will Disrupt the Tactics, Not the Thinking Historically, tools abstracted manual work: compilers automated code translation, A/B testing replaced gut-driven debates. Similarly, AI will automate tactical PM tasks—data aggregation, routine prioritization, even drafting specs. But this is liberating, not limiting. The stubborn PM obsesses over *how* to write a PRD; the adaptive PM focuses on *why* a product should exist. AI can’t replicate judgment calls that demand intuition: interpreting unmet customer needs, balancing ethics with growth, or navigating ambiguity when data is sparse. As AI handles execution, the PM...
