In 1999,I was in 2nd yr college. I sold 100 shares of reliance industries to buy my first motorcycle. that sale netted me ₹43k; the motorcycle was sold in scrap in 2007; the shares would have been worth a few tens lakhs. I have always thought I got the better end of that…

An extremely high ROI and very low hanging skill is the ability to read contracts. set aside 30 mins, play some music that gives you patience, plow through any contract you can lay your hands on. Maybe your employment contract. do 3 and you will never fear another contract again.

You cannot build the future with people who have been trained to hire labor and deal with labor. The people function should be run by a founder.
All HR departments in tech are now legacy, in India for sure.
90 day notice. 30 day ESOP exercise window. Relieving letters. Full and final after 90 days. All of this is legacy. Just the way that 'guaranteed employment for life' is legacy.
[When I say legacy, I don't mean…

Something I learnt growing up in a village. 4 things you need to survive a disaster in India. Flour, Dal, Cooking Oil, Soap (Atta, Dal, Tel, Sabun) ; don’t hoard but have enough for 15 days and plan to share with your neighbour’s children. That last bit increase you odds greatly.
