Thanks @ShadmaShaikh for an engaging discussion and insightful questions. Really appreciate the time you took to go deep into the exciting world of India music streaming space.

10 min food delivery is red hot currently…with Bolt the @Swiggy initiative, @ZeptoNow Cafe and probably @bigbasket_com , all jumping into the fray. Sources claim 7-12% of orders on Swiggy are now 10 min orders which seems like significant traction, let’s dive in…

Agree. Evolved individuals probably mean those who focus on developing this skill, go through real and diverse successful and adverse experiences, and take time to reflect and apply learnings continuously.

Great session. Thanks @rajeshsawhney for organizing it. Thanks @rahulchandra77 for sharing your thoughts and for personally signing my copy of 'Tightrope to the Moon'. Enjoying the read!
Tks @rahulchandra77 for a delightful discussion on the founders who create “Moonshots” It does boil down to “Purpose, Resilience and Execution, aided by luck & timing. Your book “Tightrope to the Moon” is a must read for all of us in the startup game. Analog Coffee & Kitchen

The Amapiano genre has seen a crazy explosion over the last decade coming out of South Africa. In 2023 alone, the genre had 1.4 billion streams on Spotify - with 55% of that being played in markets outside of Africa. Very cool to see it taking the global stage! Check out more

For 4 years in a row, KAROL G has been the most streamed female Latin music artist globally on Spotify and now she’s the latest artist to take over FC Barcelona’s shirt. It’s no surprise to anyone that the growth of Latin music has been massive over the last few years - as has

Spotify paid out a record-breaking $9 billion to the music industry in 2023. But I got a lot of questions on if this only benefits the big artists. The answer: nearly half, $4.5bn was generated by independent artists. This is a major shift for the industry, showing the changing
