🛺 A call to remote leadership with Rahul Subramaniam | Destination India Part 1 OoO
His ‘go to hell’ fund gave him in an edge in a world full of yes-men. This week Andrew chats with Rahul Subramaniam, about his path to becoming CEO of multiple remote companies in India.
👋 Hey, Welcome Back!
How much do you learn at work every day?
Constant learning isn’t easy. It’s far simpler to do the same things over-and-over again, and stick to what you know.
But that’s why so many people get bored. And when you’re bored, you lose interest in the work you’re doing. Stagnancy, frustration and total disengagement follow.
🔇 Much like mute-button fails during meetings - it’s a career killer.
With trends like quiet quitting on the rise, it takes a special kind of mind to stay consistently curious. A mind that knows autonomous learning is the key to unlocking growth and progress.
🗡️ A sharp mind is always looking for the next learning opportunity.
These opportunities aren’t just found where you work, but with the people around you.
The fastest way to learn is to surround yourself with extraordinary individuals who understand the value of sharing knowledge, advice and skills.
🔎 Remote work gives you the chance to find these people.
🌍 Because it’s not just about working from anywhere.
💡 It’s about working with the right people.
They say: “who you work with is more important than what you work on.”
When you surround yourself with people who are motivated to learn, grow and build incredible things – they raise you up.
At Crossover our focus is always on finding smart people and putting them together.
This week I travelled to India to meet a man who embodies this learning instinct and has grown to become a driving force for remote companies all over the world.
He has been mentored and has mentored others in return. With an undergraduate degree in physics and a master’s degree in computer science, he was the perfect person to help usher in the age of remote work in the global technology space.
It’s a path he chose for himself.
Rahul Subramaniam built his career as a remote leader on ultra-fast learning and collaboration with the smartest people in the world.
I caught up with him in Chennai, India for an inspiring chat about how he came to be the CEO of multiple global remote work companies. It all started when a student of his thought he’d find the tests an interesting challenge.
📅 The rest as they say, is history.
Tune in to episode 49 as I sip chai with a remote work trailblazer from one of Crossover’s most popular cities.
Rahul takes time out of his busy schedule to share some ground-breaking advice on how to succeed remotely in the global business world.
Hot tip! You don’t have to be as quick as instant noodles to make it big!

Contrary to popular belief, boredom isn't a default state - it's a choice.
If you're ever settling into a comfort zone or letting monotony take over, you're actively choosing stagnation over growth.
In the vast world of remote work, where every virtual corner holds a lesson, there's no excuse.
Don't just work remotely - work to constantly learn, evolve, and disrupt the norm. Because if you're not learning, you're already being left behind.
🤩 Enjoy the episode!

Andrew
