I spoke with yet another scammer today. I don't know why I do this, but here we go. It all started with a few annoying Whatsapp messages trying to scam me. But we ended up wishing each other good luck 😂. 1/n

Adopt AI or be left behind. This change has to run top-down. And for that leaders have to be hands-on. Irrespective of their function. If your leaders aren't hands-on with AI, something is wrong. Do a hackathon. Get every leader to get their hands dirty.

Last month at @Razorpay, we flipped the script on hackathons. Instead of engineers building and leaders judging, we did a Leadership AI Hackathon. Every leader from Finance to HR picked an AI tool and built something. No spectators. Just hands-on creation. Using Gemini,

"Walk into open meetings. Do not wait for a seat at the table. The table is long. Just grab a chair.". Couldn't agree more on this. Designers often talk about getting a seat at the table. I've generally seen that happening only in orgs where the right culture is built.

This one's my favourite. To be a "Transparent" org, everyone's calendars are public by default. My favourite activity is to stalk someone's calendar and go attend their meetings if I find them interesting.

"Found a problem? It’s yours now.". I really love this line that Pingal wrote. Same principle. No matter what role you play at Razorpay, you challenge the status quo. Found something that can be made better? Go make it better.

"Designing for users? Not good enough. Design with them". To be "Customer First," no matter what team you're a part of, what designation you hold, you have to interact with customers. Something as simple as spending 2 hours with the support team works wonders.

I really like what @pingal_kakati wrote in this article. Not just because he's a part of the team 😅 . but because he highlighted a few behaviours we often see @Razorpay.

And now, something I use daily :) . I worked with @NashVail when he was interning at Razorpay. And his eye for design clearly comes out at @foldmoney_ . Opening up the Fold Money app daily is a ritual now :) . #BackingIndiasBoldest #RazorpayCelebrates

While I never met @_aamnakhan I love what she's built at @CraftedByBinks. When we were going through wedding shopping, wife was super surprised that such an amazing service exists :) . #BackingIndiasBoldest #RazorpayCelebrates

Next is someone I ping for a brainstorming session on people. That's @abhichugh from @peopleboxai . He's super passionate about people and metrics. Any person who meets him comes back learning something about people metrics. #BackingIndiasBoldest #RazorpayCelebrates

Firstly @shashankmehta05. I know him for over 14 years now. And I haven't seen anyone who's more driven than Shashank. What he's building right now is absolutely amazing and I am way too excited to see it live. #BackingIndiasBoldest #RazorpayCelebrates

🇮🇳 India is now our global HQ. Razorpay has completed its reverse flip, and we couldn’t be more proud!. It’s more than a move on paper. It’s a belief that world-class companies don’t need a foreign base, just a bold vision and Indian roots. #Razorpay #BuiltinIndia.

Is it okay to call the CEO and ask if today was a holiday because of the rains? Asking for a friend.

I want to thank @harshilmathur and @shashank_kr for creating this special culture 🙏. All the exRazors I worked with over the years for their incredible support 🤘. And the 3000+ Razors who make this place what it is. (12/n).

Looking back, I see this wasn't accidental. Razorpay intentionally creates a culture where "nothing is someone else's problem" and talent flows where it creates value. Read it again - Nothing is someone else's problem @Razorpay . (11/n).
