What this site is
This is a personal website: essays, music, video and information about the ventures Heran Patel is involved in. Everything here is published for general information and as personal commentary.
No professional advice
Nothing on this site is professional advice. The writing covers business, money, faith, politics and culture, and it is opinion and personal experience — not legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, religious or career advice. Do not treat it as a recommendation for your situation, and speak to a qualified professional before acting on anything you read here.
Views are personal
Opinions on this site belong to Heran Patel personally. They are not statements by, and do not represent the positions of, Rameelo, FinityOne, Maharaja Estates, Melux, Vaihom or any other organisation he is connected to, and they are not statements by any employer, client or partner.
Content and intellectual property
The writing, photography, music, video, design and the HP Maharaja and Maharaja names and marks on this site belong to Heran Patel or their respective owners. You may:
- read, link to and share the pages;
- quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link back to the original page.
Without written permission, please do not:
- republish a full article, anywhere, including as a translation;
- use the writing, images, music or brand names commercially, or in merchandise;
- present the content as your own, or imply Heran Patel endorses you or your product.
Some images are hosted by third parties and may carry their own rights. Where an article credits a source, that source’s terms apply to that material.
Automated access, AI and training
Crawling and indexing this site is allowed, including by AI crawlers and assistants — see robots.txt and llms.txt. If you quote or summarise this site in an AI answer, attribute it to Heran Patel and link to the page you used. Permission to crawl is not permission to republish full articles, and it does not transfer ownership of anything described above. Please do not hammer the site with automated requests.
Links out
This site links to other places — SoundCloud, YouTube, venture sites and sources cited in articles. Those are not under this site’s control, and linking to something is not an endorsement of everything on it. Their terms and privacy practices are their own.
Availability and accuracy
The site is provided as-is, with no guarantee that it will be available, complete or free of errors. Articles reflect what was true and what was believed when they were written, and are not kept updated as things change. Dates, tour listings and venture details can go out of date; confirm anything you intend to rely on. Content may be edited or removed at any time.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Heran Patel is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from anything you do based on its content. Nothing here limits liability where the law does not permit it.
Getting in touch
For permissions, corrections or anything else, email heran@finityone.com. If you think something here infringes your rights, say so with enough detail to identify it and it will be reviewed promptly.
