AKS Reader's Club

Welcome to the AKS Readers club.

What is the AKS Readers' Club

Since 2010, I have been compiling and mailing “The CEREBRAL DOSE”, - an e-mailer that brings some of the best, relevant and useful readings appearing in media around the world to the subscribersIt started as a help to my students preparing for CAT Test Prep grew into a formidable reading club. I am known as AKS to my friends & colleagues.


Why should I read this Mailer regularly !?
  • In a world exploding with information, opinions, data and its analysis the cutting edge difference is keeping up with the relevant by cutting through the clutter. 
  • It cuts the crap - no advertisements or promotion - no heavy subscription to multiple publications, Just choicest of readings from Indian & Global publications curated, sometimes edited crisply and also a few originals written by me. 
  • My emailer reaches your mailbox at least twice a week (more possible).

Is this Club for me !?
Good Question. In my honest opinion this is a must read for everyone however over the year "The Cerebral Dose" has been hugely useful to

  •  Those preparing for CAT & other MBA Entrance Exams or any exam with GA section and specially useful for the Writing Ability Tests, Group Discussions & Personal Interview rounds of the admission process.
  • Those pursuing their MBA/PGPs in Management as one of the so many tools to update, analyse and to build perspectives.
  • For those who connect to the world in a meaningful way through value reading.
  • For young students wanting to build reading comprehension and an understanding of the Socio political-business-technology and Entertainment  world through purposeful reading.
What this emailer is NOT !?
A good way of setting the right expectation from this emailer is to understand that it is not any of the following
  1. Cerebral Dose is not a newsletter. Do not expect snippets of news. 
  2. It is not "सबसे तेज" - Don't expect reads on hot news - in fact I may let a few issues mature before I send  reads on them. So speed is really not the aim.
  3. It is not light reading, nor is it entertainment. Some readings may even be technical and long.
  4. It is not a book club - don't expect book reviews or suggestions.
  5. It is not podcast/video. Only readings - I believe that in an era of fast and easy consumption - real intelligence remain in deliberate reading. 
So, what exactly is this emailer !?
  1. It is a compilation of some great reads/articles appearing in over a vast spectrum of mainstream media Indian and Global. Consider it as a replacement of the editorial sections of your newspaper/magazines. 
  2. It also includes a few originals written by me every now and then.
  3. The primary focus is Business, Economy, Markets, Social, Technology and Entertainment. The mailer however is not limited to these.
  4. Primary focus is analysis of trends and understanding of issues around us.
Anything Else !? Yes - AKS on the Fly
Since 2022 now the Book Club members automatically have access to another feature "AKS on the fly". crisp interesting snippets of developing stories delivered to your whatsapp on the go. Members find this a very enrishing addition to the excellent reading they keep up with on their e-mails. 
  
What will it Cost to Me !?
A very small subscription fee that goes into efforts required to source and compile a plethora of readings from almost infinite quality sources - from mainstream publications to great internet reads.

  • 4 Weeks - Rs. 49 + instamojo convenience fee

  2. I may send more issues subject to more quality readings appearing in some weeks. Will not compromise quality/relevance for volume. No extra cost for additional issues in the subscribed weeks.
  3. Please do not ask for refunds - when in doubt choose smaller plan or ask for sample issues from the past.
  4. Do note that Cerebral Dose is not an original work of creation but is a compilation from an infinitely large number of sources duly credited. And yes once in a while a few originals that I write
