90% of articles, book I've read in past have not been useful anywhere in what I work. But I still read for 10%. Good fact about consuming content is you never know what you read now will be helpful to you when (in future).

90% of my friends know working at an early-stage startup is the best learning curve, no brainer. Only 10% of my friends actually work at an early-stage startup. Knowing right things vs actually doing right things. Courage matters.

nothing personal against OP . but every now & then we all should remember what sachin bansal once told an investor who said flipkart are just copying amazon & it’s too easy to build -. “tu karke dikha”.
I say this with 90% conviction: Swiggy and Zomato’s food business model has no moat and any cracked full stack team can disrupt them easily if they charge fixed fee of ~Rs 20 per order from key restaurants they onboard. If you can get to initial benchmark of just 50,000.

layoffs are hard. FrontRow announced their layoffs yesterday. Many of the people whom I've personally worked with + very smart hustlers are affected due to this. If you're hiring in Product, Sales, Video, Ops, Marketing, HR, Engineering & Support, do DM. I'd share profiles.

Working at an early stage company is the closest you can get to becoming a founder. If your goal is to start your own company someday, find an early-stage company & build it like it's your own company. :).

i've visited 1000+ LinkedIn profiles of top executives at companies who do not have any pedigree education (to understand journey). one common thing I've always observed is during 20s these folks do some non linear things for 3-5 years that you can never understand on paper. 1/2.

Dream11 started in 2008 & got funded in 2015. Founders were running a full-time services agency in 2010-11-12 while Dream11 was their passion project on side which they kept on pivoting till 2012. Bootstapped founder journeys are wild.

my first CTC was 2.6L (3.2L after 6 months). i left the job after a year & paid 1L for bond as they'd not give me experience letter without me paying the bond & next employer wouldn't let me work without experience letter from previous company. such a mess this system is :)

being a founder you live in-between of 2 extremes:. - self doubt that whether you'd be able to do pull things off.- self confidence that one day you'd build the best company out there. and both of these mindsets are beautiful on its own :).

A typical customer cycle in Indian Education system is ~20 years. - School: Coaching/Tuition + Skilling (Coding etc).- Pre-college:JEE/NEET etc.- Post-grad:GATE, CAT, UPSC, SSC etc.- Early & Mid-career transition upskilling. EdTech market in 🇮🇳 is quite large than other markets.
