Hello readers & fans,

On behalf of my family, our staff, volunteers & well-wishers, Let me wish you a very happy Christmas & prosperous new year 2022. Here is a small holiday card from Chandoo.org HQ.

About this year’s card: (From left: Nishanth, Jo, Nakshu & Chandoo) We went to the beautiful Queenstown this October to celebrate my 40th (XL Birthday!!!) and took this picture just before a sunset. The kids are now taller than mum and as tall as me. We will be taking family pictures sitting down from now on, so that they don’t look like giants. ?

Thank you

2021 has been a very positive and inspiring year for me. I found a renewed sense of mission to learn, grow & share with the world. Even though I did not blog much this year, I have been very active on YouTube, building a community of Excel / Power BI learners. I want to take a minute to acknowledge some of the people & organizations that helped me this year.
