Adjusted EBITDA is globally accepted metric & many global companies report that too. As long as EBITDA is also states, which has been done here, don't see anything wrong on this count. Creates unnecessary doubts / aspersions. Anyway it's audited numbers from top firm.

What is the best way to reach out to folks in venture capital? Context: Now that I have a bit of free time, a few founders reach out. I reach out to a few of them to understand what they are doing. Some of them are trying to raise.

That's normal. VC show interest in miniscule fraction of deals they get. They don't communicate clearly because they too are learning, evolving & r uncertain. Paraphrasing Hanlon's Razor, Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect or incompetence

@banglani I do that. What’s stopping me is when VCs don’t take it forward, founder contacts me / pushes me to follow up. I don’t want to be in that awkward situation. Comes from the fact that VCs often don’t say clear No / communicate expectations clearly.

Extremely critical & in poor taste to sensationalise a corporate action, successful founder, steps aside from executive role, has built great company, monetised well, steered through touch pandemic, can be advisor, shareholder. Nothing wrong. @nytimes can do better

Gave a talk on traits of highly effective founders. My view was that the best founders have the ability to 'balance' across seemingly contrasting traits - e.g. Confidence vs. Humility, Risk Taker vs. Risk Mitigator, etc. Put together a small infographic on the same.

Thanks but change of gate is not the issue. 1. The new gate displayed wrong flight - it said Jammu while the flight was to Bangalore. Utter confusion and chaos. Either remove all signs or put correct one. See pics 2. The airport manager was rude, unsympathetic. 3. Not helpful
