Use the best web tools.  Have an easy, well-defined process in place.  Triple-check your emails to make sure that you are communicating concisely and clearly.

And, when all of that inevitably doesn’t work the way you thought it would, stay up late, wake up early, and talk with your team.  Video has made this easier than ever; eye contact demands focus.

Finally, an Indian-American movie I am excited to see.

Meet Vinay Chakravarty. He went to college with me and is a close friend of my sister’s.

He has two weeks to find a bone marrow donor.

Since Vinay is a South Asian, the probability of finding a donor is best within our community. There is a staggeringly low number of South Asian donors currently registered.

Here is how you can help:
1. Find a local drive.
2. Take a few friends, get out there, and get registered (a ten second, painless cheek swab). Go out for some dosa afterwards – order the gigantic paper dosa…you deserve it.
3. If you match, you will get some blood drawn (to isolate stem cells) and you will be our HERO.

If you can’t find a local drive, contact me directly, and I’ll put you in touch with someone who can get you registered right quick.
