School & college failed to teach me health & fitness.Neither did my family.So I ignored it till my mid 30s. Then to fix my own health, I spent the last few years studying & experimenting nutrition & exercise physiology. Went from a 32yo overweight to 40yo endurance athlete. đź§µ

Do you prefer vegetables delivered in 10minutes or fresh & organic vegetables that are pre-ordered and delivered in 24hrs?.

Rainmatter by Zerodha is investing in Lo Foods. Here's the backstory on how this happened. Two years ago, I cold messaged Sudarshan. Told him I liked what he was building and asked if he was raising a round. He didn’t reply. A few months later, I get a message from him saying.

Few thoughts if you really are passionate to build in healthcare. Trust > velocity. Speed isn’t everything. Infra & people ops > APIs. Reliability > 10-min hacks. Health is longitudinal & not transactional. Good luck if you're building something in Healthcare in India.

3) The 10-min everything app for healthcare is lazy ambition dressed up with VC money. Healthcare isn’t a SKU game but it’s complex, regulated, and hard to standardize like groceries. Great for funding buzz, terrible for trust and real outcomes.

2) On-demand doctors in 10 mins is a bad idea. You don’t need any doctor fast but you need the right one. Discovery & matching are bigger problems than speed. Most video consults struggle with quality, not timing. Clinical care isn’t fast food. Trust takes time.

What Won’t Work (At Least Not Now). 1) Ambulance in 10 mins sounds great until you hit Delhi or Bangalore traffic. Speed is useless without triage and location accuracy. What we really need is better coordination between hospitals and ambulance providers, not just faster wheels.

3)On-demand nursing or paramedic visits but for use cases like wound care, IV, injections. Could work with proper scheduling. Think “Ola for nurses,” not “Blinkit for bandages.” Needs backend infra for verification, training, EMR integration.

2) Rapid diagnostics for home blood collection isn’t about speed but it’s about hygiene and reliability. A 2-hour sample pickup and next-morning results is a solid win. What we need is better logistics and trained phlebotomists, not faster scooters.

What could work?. 1)30–60 min medicine delivery can work for chronic refills or acute needs. In metros with dense demand, it's useful. But 10-min isn’t necessary. Even same-day is fine for 90% of use cases. And honestly, your local chemist is already doing that.

Every week, we get 10 new startup pitch that says “We’ll deliver healthcare in 10 minutes.” Quick commerce is now rushing into healthcare. So here's a breakdown on what’s hype and what might actually work in India. 🧵.

What’s common between Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, Marc Zuckerberg & Peter Thiel. They all made money in Tech- now they’re investing in longevity, healthspan & aging research. Living more is the new moonshot.

Just remember this. Food ordering apps generated a combined revenue of 35000 cr last year. That’s the industry we created by not cooking our own food at home and outsourcing our health to a cloud kitchen. The next generation will have to really work hard to stay healthy.

Being a founder taught me to survive. Becoming an investor taught me to watch others survive.

There’s a whole cartel of Instagram accounts whose only job is to screenshot viral tweets, post them without credit, grow followers, and make money with brand deals. Smart hustle. But it’s lazy, parasitic, and unfair to the original creators. How to stop them?.
