I’m bringing back THE STARTUP GAME after a long time! This time, it’s a face-off between two big delivery apps. One began with food and slowly moved to 10-minute delivery. The other launched with 10-minute delivery from day one.

My team and I recently spoke to top engineers from Google, Amazon, Airbnb and more to learn how they built these traits. Sharing their roadmap here: https://t.co/U7Ma64YyUl If you're serious about growth, this is worth a read :)

Top engineers aren’t defined by 10x output alone. Instead, they do 3 things really well: → They take high ownership → They solve hard problems → They’re great to work with And I believe, with the right roadmap, these can be learned👇

Whether 10x engineers exist or not is a never-ending debate. But after 8 years in tech hiring, here’s what I know 👇

They’ve mastered how to upskill, no matter what. To find out how they do it, my team talked directly with engineers at top companies like Amazon, Google, Airbnb, and more. 👇

I’ve realized there are 2 kinds of engineers: 1. Those who upskill right before interviews to land a job. 2. Those who consistently upskill, even after they land a job. In my 8 years of helping companies hire top engineers, I've noticed the second group is ALWAYS in demand. 👇

I’m bringing back THE STARTUP GAME you all loved! 1 character. 10 choices. Countless lessons. Now, I’m excited to introduce two new startup journeys :) Play Kabeer Biswas (from Dunzo) or Vidit Aatrey (from Meesho) 👇

Biggest hiring mistake I made early on: Trying to find clones of myself. No, they don’t exist.

The most expensive tax startups pay is to Google & Meta. This is the fine your startup pays for sucking at organic marketing. What if you nailed organic marketing? That’s 1000s of dollars saved in Google & Meta tax. A thousand reasons to focus on that.

To be a great founder, stick these 3 sentences on your desk: 1. "I'll be loyal to my startup journey, not my idea." 2. "With or without VCs, I'll buildd my startup." 3. “I’m here to play the game of decades not days.”

Work-life balance is a great goal. But, it is unlikely in the early days if you want to be an entrepreneur. Because top founders are often willing to sacrifice things that you are not ready to.

My go-to framework for startup success: Patience. If you are not willing to commit a minimum of 10 years to buildd your startup, it's likely NOT going to be successful.
