Started following similar advice this year and what a year it has been. Less stress, more work, more wins.
I tried building three startups and invested in many others. Here’s honest advice. Keep the team small for as long as possible. A few solid engineers, designers, and people who can tell a story are enough to win. More employees create power games you can’t control. Build products

Someone pls build a new age Indiamart and become a billionaire pls. -> Verified sellers -> Better photographs -> Better website
IndiaMart has survived for over 25 years by refusing to get fancy - no AI recommendations, no complex bidding systems, no trying to own transactions end-to-end. Instead: "Here are suppliers for what you're looking for. Contact them." While competitors tried building full-stack

Respectfully, creators with less than 25k followers have hardly any clout. We hardly work on a paid basis with them. The only exception is exceptional content. We will pay for top notch content, not for reach that isn’t monetize-able yet. Most of our collabs are on a barter
When you do Instagram collabs, never agree to the first rate creators quote. I have literally negotiated prices from ₹12k to ₹3k and ₹15k to ₹4k. Creators quote crazy, random amounts. Never agree to the first price. You will save a lot. They literally quote based on what

3 days ago, when we launched it, we sold 4 CustoTag packs of 8. Today, one affiliate got us 4+ packs of 8! Not gonna say who he is😶 Might have to increase prices soon. We’re CM3 zero for this.

woah woah. ig we need larger packs now? total order value 11k+. guess who’s getting a free laptop bag?
We have launched CustoTags in Pack of 8. Apple allows you to have 8 CustoTags connected to 1 iOS account. The effective price is so low, it’s ridiculous. I’ll keep passing on all savings so we become India’s highest selling Tag asap. Link below

To all founders and going to be founders, ignore all noise and keep building. There will always be someone who will try to take you down but they aren’t in your shoes. They may have nothing better to do. Only you know what goes behind the scenes. Share your journey if you’d

@RohanPaliwal7 Hey @RohanPaliwal7, Not many founders openly say they’ll pass on every bit of savings until they become India’s highest-selling tag. That level of honesty is rare, and the dedication behind it is even more impressive! 🙌🏻 That’s exactly why I finally ordered the CustoTag. Just

Spot on point by Kaushal. I face this dilemma every other day. The best solution is to draw a line in your head for what is passable and what is not. Be strict as soon as that line is breached but friendly all other times. A good team always understands that and respects that
As a founder, I often gets confused on either to be friendly with my team or act like a strict teacher too strict - team feels irritated too friendly - they start taking you lightly & never takes you seriously would love to hear from other founders on, how they balance ?
