1/ Today we announce immi, a food brand we've been working on for 18 months. @kchanthasiri and I spent the past decade in tech and started over by learning the food industry from scratch. Here's why we're doing this, the $42bn food category we're tackling, and where we're going👇

An Indian American tech exec I know did a very smart thing for their college aged kid. They said you can do anything you want after graduation but you must do internships in China, US and Europe so you can see for yourself the state of the world, not as a tourist or consumer but

Anytime I see a startup founder produce swag before having a product… why?! priorities!

Amongst all my group chats about entrepreneurship, operating, and wealth building, there is one that has led to the most outsized returns in my professional life over the past few years. Turns out most things in life still follow the power law.

I’m not sure there’s a better full body workout than taking 2 kids to the beach.

It's kind of wild to see that immi is almost 2 full rows at Sprouts nationwide now. Only a matter of time before we expand to take over that remaining space.

“Family gives me meaning, purpose gives me direction.” Love this framing.

I was listening to the Spotify founder talk about how he pushed Dara (Uber’s CEO) to take the job because “the purpose of life isn’t happiness, it’s impact.” I’ve been thinking about that a lot. It’s easy to romanticize peace, being fully present with family, slowing down,

Sent the toddler to stay with the grandparents for 2 weeks because daycare closed for vacation. Now we just have to watch the 4 month newborn at home. Going from 2 down to 1 feels like easy mode / hobby parenting!

Think most will come to the same realization about recording pendants: until these devices are culturally ubiquitous, you will be socially vilified because no one else wants to know their IRL conversations with you are recorded.

While the news of Klarna’s successful IPO spread across the world My phone buzzed with more congratulatory messages than I had ever seen. Exhausted, happy, on my way home, one sender’s name flashed across the screen and caught my attention: Sir Michael Moritz!

Our 1.5 year toddler has gotten a lot better at identifying objects in books but when he gets any wrong, we notice that he tries to flip the page and skip past the mistake. ChatGPT helped us identify our negative parenting pattern. We were affirming each correct selection with

Lately, I've felt that my group chats keep repeating the same takes that my feed has already shown me. It's an unnerving leading indicator that I'm in an echo chamber and need to find ways to diversify my information flow.

Took so much pride in our company operating system, processes, and 1:1 structures in the first 4 years and now I understand why the best leaders just use Apple Notes because the only thing that matters is focusing on the highest priority thing at any given time.

I want you to hate me. I want you to read my tweets and seethe. To think, "God, he's just THE WORST," as you hate-scroll. Or mutter "fucking tool" when I say something obnoxious on a podcast, white-knuckling the steering wheel. Not all of you. Just some. Maybe 2-3%—that's

Sometimes I click affiliate links on my favorite Youtubers and buy products I don't really need just to support them. From running a brand, I know that juicing their sponsorship ROAS metrics gives them a higher chance of future earning potential vs. donating the money directly.

Gave myself feedback earlier this year that I need to stop latching onto self imposed identities to broaden my mindset before I get too stubborn to change. For example, I spent years actively avoiding Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power because I thought power was a concept for

Heard of a billionaire whose wife doesn’t want to freeze embryos with him because testing revealed his genes suck. Sad that the last frontier of social status won’t be money, fame, or power, but just the inescapable quality of his genes.

Raising 2 under 2 has taken a toll on my ability to grind on the weekends. But watching the absolute joy on my toddler's face as I dunk him during swim class brings a level of fulfillment that no amount of career or startup success has ever brought me.

I hear debates from parents who think limiting screen time is idiotic and others who say limits are healthier. My oldest is turning 1.5 next month and we're trying to decide if we should give him an iPad with content moderation. Should we limit to 30 min a day? Or no limits?
