Excited to share that I've joined @EquityListHQ as its CEO to continue building it as a part of @AngelListIndia's offering for the 🇮🇳 ecosystem. EquityList is building the definitive equity management platform for founders to manage cap tables, employee grants, and data rooms.

1/n There are many misconceptions about India's "Next Billion Users" that keep getting repeated and accepted. These misconceptions aren't just inaccurate - they're expensive mistakes. As businesses try to serve this customer base, it's important we understand who they really are.

Scaling a company is no small feat. As operations grow, so does complexity—especially when it comes to managing equity compensation for employees. @healthifyme's journey is a testament to this. After facing challenges with their previous equity management platform, they

Honestly, this is pathetic @ICICIBank_Care @ICICIBank . I know that most KYC representatives aren't on your own payroll and are outsourced, but they still represent the ICICI brand!. Instructing someone to wear a 'dupatta' for a video KYC is the first I have heard of.

Too many founders treat compliance as an annoying expense rather than an investment. They’ll hack together solutions—spreadsheets for accounting, a generalist managing legal, or a DIY payroll setup—and assume they’ve “solved” it. Until it backfires. Compliance isn’t optional.

The startup game rewards the earliest builders. The real wealth isn’t in chasing gilded castles, but in betting on newborns— super early startups, low valuations, high stakes, limitless upside. This applies to investors and employees alike.
