Love hearing GenZs on podcasts. In one segment, the girl tells about the seriousness of her previous relationship by saying that she and her ex-bf even had a joint account. Took me entire 2 mins to realize that she meant an Instagram account of the couple, not a bank account.

Repeat after me - loan disbursal volume is a pointless vanity metric
It’s really easy to grow fast as a lender - you give people money, people like getting money.
The problem is when you don’t get it back!
Fast growing lenders often have bad underwriting- Cac looks better than competition bc comp is rejecting 90% of loans
Tough model for VC’s

Lived in Japan for 2.5 years, when I used to work at

Buying distressed debt "with the intent of making windfall gains."
Why else does one buy distressed debt? :p
The primary dispute is against hedge fund Redwood.
Byju’s said that Redwood has been buying its distressed debt "with the intent of making windfall gains."
Byju’s debt has been trading at 79 cents on the dollar.

Sneaker heads - what makes you buy/collect sneakers? Is it aspiration or is it style? I see some new D2C sneaker brands which are neither cheap nor expensive (INR 4-7k) and keep wondering if there’s a market for the same. Or are the 2 audience segments completely different?

Hard disagree, cricket in India has still just scratched the surface. No vibe because of the nature of ODIs - zero close competitions in the last 10 matches played in this WC. There's a faster and more adrenaline-packed alternative now.

Upload all expense/invoice receipts to Google Drive, by month. Name the receipts in each of them by date. Make one excel sheet in which all transactions are there by date, amount, and name. I do it once a month usually and doesn't take more than 3-4 hours of lazy work.

Have been on both sides so have some perspective here. Used to think the exact same when I was a VC (5+ years). Now that I have been on the other side, here are the reasons I can imagine why someone would take the help of a banker: (1/n)
The # of pitches (at seed / pre-Series A) stage via ibankers is at an all time high. Led by mkt conditions, I suppose.
In general have seen banker inbounds as a -ve signal given it says something abt founder's fundraising prowess, an impt criterion. Think that is still true.

Truly! My first year's expenses (both personal and the company's) were funded by crypto gains, second by Adani. Sourcing ideas (serious) for similar such underpriced opportunities for the third year.
Met a founder friend bootstrapping his start-up. It's a difficult journey, being a solopreneur and dipping into your savings to build.
Something beautiful he told me is that he is able to fund it as his portfolio has done well. He saved and invested well. Investing is freedom.

Nuance to add here though is that the struggle of both generations doesn't have to be similar. The success of the parents should enable the kid(s) to dream bigger, be fearless, and aim higher.
Most successful parents take away one gift from their kids which made them successful in first place : struggle

Moved back to India in 2021, after living abroad (Japan & US) for 4.5 yrs. Part of the decision can be quantified imo - if you believe you & spouse are in the top 1/2% financially in India (subjective benchmark), think about moving back. If not, better standard of living abroad.
It just takes one trip back home for any NRI who - swayed by emotion & some patriotism - contemplates to move back to India. Just one trip to cancel any such thoughts.
Our eyes are usually numb to the squalor on the streets, but it’s super stark for someone who just came back.

Everyone is connected to their professional friends/acquaintances/bosses on LinkedIn, hence the good behaviour, because they know that their activity will be seen. On X, that's still not the case, hence the actual behaviour/thoughts.

Roads are very wide and fairly limited traffic, unless you are driving in the 5 to 8 PM slot. Infra, within societies, is pretty good and you almost never have to worry about parking, water, or electricity. Houses too are large in size and nice wrt the rent one has to pay.

Hard disagree with possibly everything here - 1) the challenge is what makes it gratifying, 2) if sales are going well, rest can be solved. no sales, rest is pointless 3) good salesmen/women are worth their weight in gold (disclaimer - as founder, I do b2b sales now every day)

1) despite their claiming to do so, most VCs don't reply. Understandable that this is a function of them getting loads of inbounds but for the founder, at the early stage (usually bootstrapped at that point) time is the most important currency (2/n)

Personally, I have never ever gone to an astrologer and don't intend to either. In India though, not only are astrologers supposed to predict the future but also act as therapists. Big stigma about seeking help from therapists but the same role is being played by astrologers.

One learns about the culture and people of a place mostly only when one lives there for a while (at the very least), and not just visits it for a few days. Otherwise, the 'number of countries visited' is largely a vanity metric and does not translate to one being 'cultured'.
After seeing 19 countries the novelty of traveling every 3 months has worn off. I prefer having a home base then taking 2-4 adventures a year.
Otherwise, just wanna work and enjoy my friends.

Unlikely. Every other (mostly) social media platform goes viral by first onboarding the younger cohort (think Snapchat, TikTok, Insta, and even FB). LinkedIn works (and is hardest to replace) because the older cohort is there and they have negligible incentive to switch.
