Namaste, I’m Manas.

I’m a CS grad. Samanar is where I learn business out loud, one idea at a time. I’m not an expert yet. Writing it down clearly is how I get there.

Every article is a concept I had to understand first. I explain it the way I wish someone had explained it to me: short, plain, and with real examples.
