It was 50% more expensive (for completely vacant land) than this town in California.

The Japanese are our strongest allies.

Not much is said about how the Japanese have funded a large chunk of Indias modern infrastructure. Real credit behind all the inaugurations.

Call me old fashioned, but if you’re getting an exit at 8x revenue for a (great) startup you have built in a segment where other players are 6x and 15x your size, you should sell.
