DreamFolks forgot one rule of Porter’s Five Forces — “Never build your business on someone else’s infrastructure.” Adani reminded them the hard way. 🏗️ #dreamfolks #adani #portermodel

Myspace came before Facebook. AltaVista before Google. PalmPilot before iPhone. Being first doesn’t matter. Being right does. Some of the best companies in history were built by people who showed up late — and learned fast. #myspace #firstmover #startup #strategy

We’ve officially reached the “AI that explains AI to raise money for AI” phase. The singularity isn’t intelligence — it’s hype. #aihype #startuphumor

Frugality is not doing less. It’s learning how to do more quietly. #FounderMindset #FrugalInnovation

Here’s the founder formula they don’t teach you: Frugality × Hard Work × Innovation = Longevity. Frugality ÷ Ego = Profit. Hard Work + Innovation − Sleep = MVP. The math isn’t pretty. But the results are. #StartupLife #FrugalInnovation

Entrepreneurship isn’t yachts, offsites, or TED Talks. It’s eating Maggi at 2 a.m. because Swiggy surge pricing kicked in. It’s recycling investor decks like hand-me-downs. It’s saying “we’ll figure it out” when you clearly have no clue. Frugality isn’t a virtue here — it’s

The U.S. recently hiked H-1B costs. What’s the response? Indian GCCs expand, offshore talent ops scale. Visa cracks make India less dependent. #H1B #GCC #StartupIndia

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, the Vadilal franchise shop outside IIT Bombay was our celebration spot. Whether you topped an exam or flunked one — everyone ended up there for ice cream. It was small, local, and familiar. Four decades later, the same brand is still growing —

From Graham, I learned restraint — keep it small, diversify wide, protect the core. From Fisher, I learned conviction — go deep, back great founders, and know your domain. That’s how I angel invest today. 5% capital, 100 bets, full curiosity. #bengraham #valueinvesting

Facebook wasn’t first. Google wasn’t first. DMart wasn’t first. The world doesn’t reward pioneers. It rewards survivors. #facebook #google #dmart #firstmover

Every startup looks impossible until it isn’t. Every founder looks foolish until they don’t. The line between delusion and vision? Just a few extra months of persistence. #foundermindset #startups #grit #persistence

Graham would hate startup investing. No balance sheets, no history, no safety. But he’d respect the method: small allocation, wide diversification, and a cold respect for probability. #valueinvesting #angelinvesting
