Low latency, high water
We swapped order books for paddles and spent a day on the Kundalika river, about three hours from Mumbai. Forty-two people across trading, research, technology and operations, eight rafts and roughly 12 km of Grade II and III rapids.
Every raft had a guide, a helmet count and at least one person who insisted they had done this before. The engineering raft tried to optimise its paddling cadence, the trading desk tried to front-run the rapids, and everyone ended up equally wet. We finished with a riverside lunch, a tug of war that research won on a technicality, and a long bus ride home that was much quieter than the drive out.
