Lavanya Mohan : Ex-CA, marketing professional & personal finance nerd
Update: 2021-09-03
Description
I speak to my friend and someone whose work I’ve admired for a long time - Lavanya Mohan. Lavanya, who many might know as lavsmohan, used to run one of India’s funniest blogs about a decade ago, called ChutneyCase. Since then, she has transitioned into a very interesting niche - personal finance from a woman’s point of view in India. In between, she has also been a freelance writer for several publications, on topics ranging from culture to humour to finance.
For me, it was a pleasure to speak to her since it wasn’t just a great conversation with lots of insights, but also a chance to catch up with a Friend.
Storytelling and how that was the root of everything that followed in her life
How her writing evolved
How the biggest shift in her life happened quite unexpectedly
How not to be scared of money or finance (especially looking at finance through the lens of something you are already passionate about)
Building niches, but trying whatever you can
Taking advantage of your situation, and not being bummed out you’re not being where the action is
How “explain it like I’m 5” is the ultimate test of whether you’ve understood something
Productivity, routine, setting personal goals, and finding your “creative best time”
How audiences determine the content - direct, even! - that a creator might do
