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. 🧵

It's ok to do random jobs early in your career. One day, hard work, odd experiences, talent and luck will all meet.

Don't trust anyone who says you're not supposed to eat at night. There's a light in the fridge for a reason.

Some founders build something meaningful in their 20s, others in their 40s. And some take a decade to figure out what truly matters. There is no perfect timing, no rulebook that decides when you should startup and success should arrive. Startups unfold in unpredictable ways. Some

Media has an important role in shaping how our society thinks. Journalism fails when a meeting of technologists is reported as "elegant decor", "intimate dinner" & "sprawling bungalow". It can inspire young engineers & AI builders if we focus on knowledge sharing & not gossips.

I know two founders we've backed who walked away from high paying tech careers to work with rural farmers. Today, they run 200–500 crore business selling everyday food without synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or antibiotics. This is scaling health and empowering rural farmers who

We should have a corporate sports & fitness fest, like the ones we had in school and college. Teams from different companies competing, cheering, and having fun. Doesn’t matter if you’re a CEO, intern, manager or VP. It's fun to build a work culture that walks the talk on health

No one, literally no one cares whether you did 10k steps, ate less sugar, slept well, ran, or went to the gym. But everyone will make you an example the day your body breaks, or you burn out or have a panic attack. The ones who’ll suffer most won’t be your followers or colleagues

We need to bring such stories out

There’s a new breed of social media influencers who love comparing what they escaped and finding pleasure in dunking on those who stayed back in India. It’s a stupid, lazy way to farm engagement. Most of these posts come from Indians settled abroad, carrying a sense of

Dear Indian Railways, You made 2.7 lakh crore in revenue last year & 2,342 crore profit. Spend just 20% of that on keeping toilets clean & you’ll still be profitable. Swachh Bharat won’t just be a poster on the door and you’ll win back the trust of millions of daily passengers.

Most schools still ask for parents’ job & education on admission forms. How does that decide if a child deserves an admission? Kids aren’t applying for a loan, they just want to learn. We’ve to get rid of these outdated biases. Not helping anyone.

I’m convinced Indian entrepreneurs will reinvent healthcare systems that the world will look up to. Visited two hospitals yesterday that felt too good to be true. Imagine paying an annual fee of 999 and your whole family gets unlimited doctor access & no extra charges for

It’s amazing to see the love Arattai is getting. This is the same energy we need for every product from India- software or hardware. Not all entrepreneurs have @svembu’s ability to build and narrate, but every founder deserves our cheer 🇮🇳

Gave 12 years to entrepreneurship. 3 startups and went all in. Almost broke by end of it. But gained a lot of muscle to appreciate what it takes to build something from scratch when no one believes in it. After all this, ended up being an investor to support other founders. This

Zerodha started as a trading platform but investing in health through it's Rainmatter fund. Zomato started as food ordering platform but building products to help people make healthier choices. Today, both are billion dollar revenue companies and focusing on health. The future of

I’m very optimistic about entrepreneurship in India. We are progressing well. But worried about the mental and physical health of founders. I don’t know why we are not talking enough about it. Founders, please remember this- your overall health is the moat of the business. Your

If there’s one thing America has mastered and India hasn't, is the the art of selling a story. The American Dream was the best marketing campaign of the 20th century. They sold the American Dream so hard that the brightest talent across the world left their homes to chase it.

Since many are asking about the company. Its https://t.co/830PLJxk83 and the founder is @navneethram . He’d reached out via a cold DM. And now we’re suppprting him through Rainmatter:)

Met a founder who left his job at Netflix and Facebook to return to India and build a company that helps seniors here stay healthy. Why? Because there are 150 million people over the age of 60 in India and most of them are experiencing chronic health issues. While everyone is
