Founders don’t move to Bangalore. And then they ask why did they fail 🙄

I keep encountering Founders who were once highly ambitious but lost their drive along the way and became satisfied with above average outcomes. There can only be so many reasons that this happens: - Family - Not able to deal with Stakeholders (Investors, Employees, etc.)

Factually incorrect Story. There have been discussions to spinoff Airlearn since that’s a completely separate Business and Product than Unacademy’s Core Business. But the added masala of Founders making so much money is completely false. Please feel free to ignore the gossip.
Gaurav Munjal’s exit from Unacademy is anything but quiet. He’s reportedly asking for ₹200 crore, full control of his AI side project Airlearn and another ₹200 crore for co-founder Roman Saini. 🧵 @sahaprd

Thanks for having us, Marina. Your energy made it into a really fun and electric conversation. Recalled a lot of moments of struggle and pain and how we navigated them.
One of the most FASCINATING interviews I’ve ever done. @gauravmunjal and @RomanSaini turned a dorm-room YouTube channel into a $3B edtech empire @unacademy. Then came the breakdown: massive losses, panic attacks, and near collapse. Here’s how they survived - and came back

What a stupid defeatist analogy 🤦♂️ We as a culture need to celebrate risk takers. Stop being so damn afraid all the time. This is one of the main reasons why we hardly get Olympic medals and Nobel prizes. I have been a risk taker all my life where I let go of multiple stable
UPSC is a dream for many, but also a trap for thousands. Every year, around 10–12 lakh people apply. Only about 1,000 get selected. That’s a success rate of 0.1%. Many students prepare for 5–7 years, some even longer. They leave jobs, skip higher studies, delay everything only

Come on? Silly exam? Are you kidding me? It’s easy to say that once a person has cleared it and quit the service. India is one of the few countries where people who run the govt. are selected by a merit based system. Only single digit folks had IAS officers as parents, in

Throwback to a year ago. It was a warm Saturday on 6th of April, 2024. I started batting early in the morning. I struggled initially. Bu then the ball started coming nicely on the bat. I started to feel like it was my day. And then I kept batting for >6 hours. Stayed not out
