20 ke 30

Jika boleh dibuat recap, aku tuh menghabiskan usia 20an ku untuk apa aja sih?

20 : Aku memutuskan untuk pindah kuliah dari UIN ke UI atas hasutan @ihkamaufar gak deng, itu mah cuman eksaserbasi aja. Karena aku ngerasa bisa lebih ikutan banyak kegiatan ekstrakulikuler kalau di UI. Duh sebenernya pindah kuliah itu adalah tutorial mempersulit hidup soalnya aku jadi mundur 2 tahun kuliahnya, padahal di UIN aja udah telat setahun

21 : Aku mulai berani untuk menginisiasi proyek sosialku yang pada mulanya adalah sambutan gayung oleh Bapak Panji, atas ideku untuk membuka Istana Belajar Anak Banten chapter Tangerang Selatan. Kemudian setelah 1 tahun, aku dapet kesempatan bootcamp bikin social project, yaudah disitu mulai serius di isu kesehatan dan sanitasi bareng-bareng temen Emcekaqu

22 : Oh tidak, aku tiba-tiba kepikiran perilaku anomaliku yang suka pushing away people kalau mau serius kenalan sama aku. Dan perjalanan membasuh luka pengasuhan dimulai dari sini. Akhirnya membuka kotak pandora yang kututup rapat-rapat, dan disini aku beneran malfunction, setiap diajak ikut acara apapun aku selalu bilang sakit. Ya, mentalku yang sakit. Tapi nggak tau kenapa, pada suatu malam aku pernah gak bisa tidur, begadang sampe jam 4 pagi untuk apply fellowship ke Belgia dan alhamdulillah keterima. Mungkin hiburan dari Allah biar aku gak sedih terus.

Ohiya aku juga disini ikutan pelatnas FIM, terus berdrama kunci kamar dengan salah satu panitia yang ternyata adalah kakak alumni RK yg aku gosipin ke temenku eh ternyata si kakak alumni itu jd suamiku. mohon maaf kak mogi 🙏

23 : Akhirnya lulus dari Rumah Kepemimpinan yang sangat menguji fisik dan mental. Terus di tahun ini tuh aku dapet fellowship ke Amerika (Setelah 5x nyoba), awalnya izinku gak di acc sama bagian kemahasiswaan karena ada praktikum yang kehadiran harus 100%, ya menurut lo?? masa lebih milih praktikum daripada fellowship???!! cuss berangkat, walaupun konsekuensinya harus nambah satu semester. (Untung dah tobat u FIK UI).

Eh pulang-pulang, kok ketemu lagi sama kak mogi karena mau apply CSR funding dari kantor beliau ceritanya. Tapi sampe saat ini CSR nya gak pernah dpt btw 🙂

24 : Tahun yang cukup berat karena temen-temeku semua udah lulus dan aku belum :( ngapa kuliah susah amat sih yaAllah. Tapi nggak pernah kepikiran yg kaya “YaAllah puyeng bgt kuliah mo nikah aja” Eh ternyata di akhir tahun ini aku nikah sama kak mogi 🫵 dan di tahun ini walaupun temen-temenku udah pada skripsian, aku mulai berkiprah secara profesional di Ashoka Indonesia dan juga NICE Indonesia (oh tentu saja bkn di bidang keperawatan 😬)

25 : Bukan galau karena quarter life crisis tapi galau karena tadinya nggak mau lanjut profesi ners krn ngerasa gak passion, eh anakku meninggal jadi daripada nggak ada kegiatan yaudah sekolag lagi aja deh 🙏 yg biasanya ke psikolog karena ngurusin inner child-ku sekarang harus ke psikolog buat pulihin diri dari trauma kontraksi melahirkan dan berduka karena anakku meninggal. Fyuhhhhh…..

26 : tidak ingin menyerah dengan ketakutanku, akhirnya aku berjalan sama Doula untuk mempersiapkan kelahiranku. My life has change forever, aku menjadi seorang ibu. Terjadi krisis identitas yang cukup parah, untung aku ketemu sama Apik dan Zahra waktu aku di Yogyakarta. Aku banyak cerita dan mengamati mereka sebagai seorang ibu. Aku ikutan talents mapping dan menemukan kembali diriku.

27 : Aku banyak mengamati dan membantu tipis-tipis suamiku yang sedang S2, aku jadi kepengen juga. Tapi sebelum itu, aku mencoba mengutilisasi ilmuku sebagai seorang ners dengan mengambil sertifikasi konselor menyusui. Menjadi konselor menyusui ini juga karena pengalamanku dibantu oleh konselor saat anakku meninggal dan saat anakku keduaku tongue tie dan lip tie.

28 : Aku memberanikan diri untuk daftar beasiswa S2 setelah banyak ngobrol sama temen, mentor, coach untuk mencari WHY dan jurusan yang tepat. Alhamdulillah keterima! Sangat tidak menyangka soalnya gak pernah nge-plan utk ke Australia. Dan ternyata living my dream tinggal di luar negeri bareng sama keluarga, isinya banyak nangisnya juga, soalnya ketinggian ekspektasinya 🙏

29 : Udah gak pengen punya GPA cumlaude, lulus aja udh alhamdulillah dari Univ terbaik ke 13 di dunia ini. Tapi walaupun nilai pada jelek, kegiatan ekstrakulikuler tetep jalan : ikutan riset, conference, MUN simulation, kerja part time di indo dan Melb. Dan setelah aku pikir, akutuh ternyata suka banget dengan privilege titel student-ku yg bisa ngebuat aku explore banyak hal wkwk walau sambil nangis karena ttp harus sambil ngurus anak dan rumah

30 : Aku masih bolak-balik ke psikolog untuk berdamai sama masa kecilku. Aku dapet PoV baru karena aku ke psikolog kampus yg punya latar belakang jauh berbeda. Di usia 30 ini aku berharap, semoga aku selalu percaya sama kasih sayang Allah dan kasih sayang orang di sekitarku apalagi orangtua, suami dan anakku. Semoga di tahun2 mendatang, walau tantangan datang menerjang, keimanan dan keislaman akan selalu jadi pegangan.

Semoga Allah ridho Allah selalu menyertai setiap langkah yang kutapaki. Semoga hal-hal yang kulakukan dan kuikhtiyarkan menjadi pahala jariyah yang bisa jadi penerang kuburku kelak. Aaminnn

Top 5 Coworking Spaces in Chennai Offering Mentorship for Startups

For a startup founder, the right environment can be the difference between stagnation and success. In 2025, coworking isn’t just about fast Wi-Fi and good coffee—it’s about access to a network, support, and expert guidance. If you’re a founder or early-stage entrepreneur looking for a coworking space in Chennai, you’re in luck. Several coworking hubs in the city now offer on-demand mentorship—a key differentiator for startups who want to move faster, smarter, and more confidently.

Unlike traditional office spaces, these coworking centers go the extra mile by connecting you with business coaches, industry leaders, angel investors, and subject-matter experts. Let’s take a look at five such spaces in Chennai that provide not just a desk—but a launchpad.

1. The Works@Alandur — Mentorship Meets Maker Spirit

Location: Alandur, near Guindy metro Ideal for: Hardware startups, product developers, IoT and robotics teams

The Works@Alandur is designed for builders—literally. With prototyping facilities and access to 3D printers, CNC machines, and industrial mentors, it offers startups a real edge. What sets it apart is its strong tie-up with IIT Madras alumni and manufacturing consultants who frequently hold walkthroughs and pitch reviews.

Mentorship Access Includes:

On-demand office hours with product lifecycle experts

Monthly founder clinics with investor Q&A

Business modeling sessions from Lean Canvas to GTM (Go-To-Market)

For product-first startups needing technical depth and commercialization support, this is a game-changer.

2. The Startup Hub @ T-Nagar — Expert-Led, Startup-Backed

Location: T-Nagar Ideal for: SaaS, Edtech, and Digital Media startups

Located in one of Chennai’s busiest commercial zones, The Startup Hub is more than just an open-plan office. It partners with accelerators like NASSCOM 10K Startups and local VC networks to offer a rotation of mentorship every week.

What You Get:

“Founder Fridays” with successful entrepreneurs

Pitch prep workshops before demo days

Legal, IP, and fundraising support clinics (on-demand)

Their in-house startup advisor panel includes CXOs from Zoho, Freshworks, and Chargebee—giving you direct access to advice that’s worth more than the rent.

3. Karya Spaces @ Adyar — For Women Founders & Social Startups

Location: Adyar, near IIT Research Park Ideal for: Social enterprises, women-led startups, NGOs

Karya Spaces was created with inclusivity in mind. With a strong focus on impact startups and women entrepreneurs, it regularly hosts mentorship bootcamps led by social innovation leaders, nonprofit accelerators, and CSR heads of major corporations.

Highlights:

Weekly mentor-match program (industry- and goal-specific)

Legal aid and grant-writing help from partner firms

Panel mentorship from founders of successful women-led startups

Karya is not only affordable but deeply committed to creating a supportive ecosystem that goes beyond desks and decor.

4. T-Hub Connect @ Perungudi — Deep Tech Meets Deep Mentorship

Location: Perungudi, OMR (IT Corridor) Ideal for: AI, Fintech, Blockchain, Healthtech startups

Backed by a cluster of IT giants and proximity to leading research institutions, T-Hub Connect provides curated mentorship for deep-tech startups. The space acts as a soft landing pad for tech-intensive companies looking to scale or raise seed funding.

Unique Offerings:

1:1 mentoring with industry veterans and former CTOs

Investor-readiness programs run in partnership with venture capital firms

Product-market fit reviews, pitch deck polishing, and mock fundraising

This coworking space integrates coworking with incubator-grade support, making it ideal for scale-focused entrepreneurs.

5. The Grid @ Nungambakkam — Design Thinking + Business Mentorship

Location: Nungambakkam Ideal for: D2C brands, UX-focused startups, app developers

The Grid is the go-to coworking space in Chennai for those obsessed with design and user experience. What sets them apart is their access to a pool of mentors from the design, brand, and UX strategy space. If your startup lives and dies by your customer journey, this is the place for you.

Mentorship Inclusions:

UX design audits and customer flow sessions

Branding mentorship with creative directors and brand consultants

Business coaching for pricing models, growth hacking, and retention

The space also has a live testing lab where startups can trial their products with real users, guided by feedback from UX mentors.

Why Mentorship in a Coworking Space Matters More in 2025

The startup world in 2025 is faster, leaner, and more competitive than ever. Having a good product is not enough—you need to navigate legal frameworks, pitch to the right investors, market strategically, and grow a team while staying lean.

Coworking spaces that offer on-demand mentorship help fill these gaps, giving founders:

Immediate guidance on high-stakes decisions

Accountability partners to stay focused

Access to networks they otherwise wouldn't have

A sounding board that prevents avoidable mistakes

Whether you're a first-time founder or a second-time entrepreneur trying to avoid past pitfalls, having mentorship built into your workspace saves both time and money.

Things to Look for When Choosing a Mentorship-Backed Coworking Space in Chennai

Before committing to a coworking membership, here are a few questions you should ask if mentorship is your priority:

Are the mentors domain-specific or general business coaches? Look for expertise in your startup’s niche.

What’s the format—weekly, monthly, or on request? Flexible or on-demand models work best for early-stage founders.

Is mentorship included in the cost or priced separately? Some spaces include it in rent; others charge per session.

Are there demo days, pitch events, or investor meets hosted regularly? This indicates strong engagement with the startup ecosystem.

What’s the success rate of other startups who’ve used their mentorship programs? Testimonials or case studies can be great indicators.

Final Thoughts: Work, Learn, Grow—all under One Roof

Chennai’s coworking landscape has come a long way. Today, it’s not just about affordability and flexibility—it’s about being in a space where you can build smarter. A coworking space in Chennai that offers structured or on-demand mentorship is like having a mini-incubator built into your day-to-day operations.

Whether you're building your MVP, preparing for fundraising, or fine-tuning your go-to-market strategy, mentorship is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s mission critical.

So, if you're on the hunt for a place where guidance meets growth, these five coworking spaces are not just places to work—they’re places to accelerate.

Halo Infinite update details for PC and Xbox. According to the official Halo Infinite patch notes, the latest update brings balancing changes and bug fixes. Previously, a minor hotfix added changes to skill jumps, weapons jamming, and the "tank gun" glitch. Unfortunately, players are experiencing a number of issues while playing the game. Today's Halo Infinite patch will fix a few of these issues. Read more details below. Halo Infinite Patch Notes - February 15, 2023 BALANCE CHANGES “DROP SHOT” Dropping a weapon and swapping between weapons now takes the same amount of time. SNIPER RIFLE The accuracy of the Sniper Rifle has been increased when firing without zooming in. FRAG GRENADE The explosion radius of the Frag Grenade has been reduced slightly. WEAPON RACKS In the Ranked Arena playlist and HCS, each Weapon Rack will now be set to a “Red Rack” state after the weapon is picked up. This means once a weapon is picked up, the Weapon Rack won’t spawn another weapon until the original has despawned or the ammo has been depleted. MULTIPLAYER Sandbox Rapidly firing the Plasma Pistol or the Battle Rifle will no longer result in the weapon "jamming" and not firing on every pull of the trigger. Semi-automatic weapons, such as the Sidekick, now appear to fire at a correct rate from the perspective of other players. Players using Active Camo will now consistently appear visible while sprinting. Matchmaking Playlists Multiple map and mode combinations were removed from matchmaking playlists based on usage data: Rumble Pit Oddball on all maps Slayer on Empyrean Slayer on Detachment Slayer on Launch Site Fiesta on Empyrean Team Slayer Slayer on Launch Site Slayer on Behemoth Social Slayer Slayer on Bazaar Slayer on Argyle Slayer on Detachment Team Doubles CTF on Argyle CTF on Bazaar Quick Play Slayer on Detachment Slayer on Catalyst CTF on Argyle CTF on Bazaar Ranked Doubles Attrition on Argyle Attrition on Detachment Bot Bootcamp Slayer on Catalyst Slayer on Behemoth Team Survivors Attrition on Detachment Elimination on Streets Menus The appropriate subtraction and addition symbols now appear whenever players lose or gain CSR during Ranked matches. Custom Game Browser (CGB) Players are now less likely to experience a looping "Unable to Connect to the Fireteam" error message while joining or playing a Custom Game Browser session.

How to Build a B2B Black Friday Campaign That Works for You

https://superspunarticle.com/?p=6856&wpwautoposter=1606742337 How to Build a B2B Black Friday Campaign That Works for You https://superspunarticle.com/?p=6856&wpwautoposter=1606742337 Tutorials and tips on Video & Content Marketing. In their 2020 retail trend report, Search intelligence company Pi Datametrics saw record levels of search volume across retail during the peak of the pandemic, which surpassed any previous Black Friday level. We’ve all been at home buying gadgets to keep us entertained this year – so why would we need more?! With Walmart and Target announcing that they’re shutting shop on Thanksgiving, it’s looking like Black Friday is going to be a modest affair in 2020 – but is this the case for B2B? Although more businesses than ever are “Going digital”, many are also struggling to stay afloat and have had to cut costs. Discounted B2B services may be just what they need to turn business around… Decide whether your B2B business should be taking part We’re not here to convince you that taking part in Black Friday is “The Right and Good Thing To Do”. That’s completely up to you (no pressure!) But what we can do is give you a few things to think about. 2020 is definitely not the year to chuck a discount out there and hope that it pays off. Here’s some things that you should consider before embracing the holiday… What is the ultimate goal of your Black Friday campaign? Is it increasing Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)? Boosting loyalty and retention? Uptake & awareness? CSR & Authenticity? Knowing this is key to your success on this holiday. Ask yourself, can we afford to discount? How much of a discount can you afford to offer on your product or service, without making a dent in your ROI? Keep in mind that your costs will be higher than usual, especially when it comes to advertising – CPCs are higher and there’s more people bidding! If you can discount, what can you offer? If things are a bit tight, but you’re still keen to piggyback on the holiday, think about what you can offer with as little cost to you as possible. In a B2B world, your core offering is likely to be a long-term, high cost investment, which may not discount well (i.e. you could lose a lot of money, over a long period of time). If your main product or service is something you just can’t afford to cut, then think: What about sideline offerings? Do you have any standalone services (i.e. expert support, strategy sessions, data bundles etc.) that you can offer? Can you apply a deal to only up one element of your offering? What about creating an entirely new, exclusive offering that better suits the Black Friday model? Can you segment one small portion of your prospects and target an offer to them, and them only? If you’re adding bigger discounts, can you upsell any of your other products and services on your Black Friday campaign landing pages? Can you offer something for free to build loyalty? Lisa Alexander from PR Secrets did just this. She had a think about how she could stand out on Black Friday, which resulted in her giving away a marketing bootcamp for free. “This campaign allowed people to experience my brand in a way typically not available to prospects. Forty-one percent of the people who requested the free session had never engaged with my brand previously.” Lisa N. Alexander Think about fulfilment Another huge consideration for participating in Black Friday is whether you have the (wo)manpower to deal with an influx of users. Would you need to automate your support? Are your training guides and help materials up-to-scratch and in place for an increase in questions? If you’re offering an exclusive new product or service, do you have product education in place? Is Black Friday the right day for you? According to Henry Clifford-Jones of The Drum “B2B brands in the US may not get very far with targeting professional audiences around Black Friday since it’s a public holiday and most professionals will be at home with their families.” With this in mind, ask yourself: is Black Friday definitely the right day for me to be launching my offer? Some brands enjoy less competition and have been successful in building traction early on, while others surprise and delight their customers by extending their sale beyond the shopping weekend. The Oberlo team think that the latter strategy can be very effective: “Do this last-minute or when your competitors have ended their sales. When customers see you’re the only [one] offering them a second chance to save, they’re more likely to buy from your brand. However, make sure to associate a deadline with an extension. [This will create] a sense of urgency.” Don’t feel pressured to jump on the Black Friday bandwagon, just because your competitors are. Relying on seasonal or buying cycle expectations means you could be missing out on big, untapped opportunities. Look at trend data. Explore your customers’ search and social behavior throughout the year to assess whether Black Friday really is right for you.

If you’re offering an exclusive new product or service, do you have product education in place? Is Black Friday the right day for you? According to Henry Clifford-Jones of The Drum “B2B brands in the US may not get very far with targeting professional audiences around Black Friday since it’s a public holiday and most professionals will be at home with their families.” With this in mind, ask yourself: is Black Friday definitely the right day for me to be launching my offer? Some brands enjoy less competition and have been successful in building traction early on, while others surprise and delight their customers by extending their sale beyond the shopping weekend. The Oberlo team think that the latter strategy can be very effective: “Do this last-minute or when your competitors have ended their sales. When customers see you’re the only [one] offering them a second chance to save, they’re more likely to buy from your brand. However, make sure to associate a deadline with an extension. [This will create] a sense of urgency.” Don’t feel pressured to jump on the Black Friday bandwagon, just because your competitors are. Relying on seasonal or buying cycle expectations means you could be missing out on big, untapped opportunities. Look at trend data. Explore your customers’ search and social behavior throughout the year to assess whether Black Friday really is right for you.
