Author: Charitarth Sindhu, Fractional Business & AI Workflow Consultant Valentine’s shopping is not calm shopping. It is deadline shopping. People wait longer than they should.

Those things matter, but after building and scaling regulated financial systems, I’ve learned that the hardest risks to manage are organisational, not technical. As CTO and co-founder of Raindrop, I
