“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole.

They are just empowered to say no, and they like the feel of power. The feel of I’m god, your master, and you’re my servant. If you think that this is bad in normal commercial...
How many times have you felt like that? Dealing with a two-headed beast where each head has no clue what the other is up to? Well… Welcome to the wonderful world of environmental permits in PPPs. A classic. Just like trying to build a highway while one government department waves you in and the other one just shrugs and says, “Not my problem, buddy.” But from time to time, laziness and Pilates’s syndrome stays away. Let me talk for a second about a unicorn moment. Year 2014. Riyadh, Saudi...
It was supposed to be India’s big PPP success story.A shiny new metro for Hyderabad.60 km of elevated track.Glossy renders.Big press. Then… disaster. The first consortium collapsed in slow motion. Delays.Land issues.Political fights.The kind of chaos that turns engineers into philosophers. Equity providers in beheaded chickens. And lenders in beggars.
