Dear
@whitehatjunior
- very curious to know how many engineers/coders/programmers in your own team get 20 crore salary (forget the age bracket for now)?
Wondering how folks in India will declare their NFT holdings in Income tax statement: 2 apes, 3 monkeys, 4 lions, 3 aliens, and then some cute looking creatures? 😂😂😂

is now a part of Idera (owners of Sencha, Webyog, Embarcadero etc.), a leader of JavaScript components. Bootstrapped it for 17 years profitably before this - thanks to entire team, customers and everyone involved @
Unwarranted opinion: all the VCs in this country want their startups to ‘change the world’ and be ‘mission-driven’, without giving a rat’s a*ss on the reality of what’s going on
@country
. Clearly, the cheque size and carry is the only thing that matters, and rest is all rhetoric!
Dear Indians - learn from Karnataka et al. Focus on what matters to you - jobs, economy, harmony, social fabric, progress & growth. Not communal and polarising politics. Not hubris. We won’t be “vishwa guru” by proclaiming it, but only by delivering it.

Agree. But what is worse is squeezing money out of gullible parents by portraying such a non probable outcome, and also putting undue pressure on kids to unidimensionally think about coding as be-all!
Despite all its traffic and infra woes, Bangalore is the only city (in India), where (some) riders / drivers wave you a thank you, for giving the right of way (of all the cities I have driven in India). It’s all about the people!
A beautiful para about building an effective startup (read in an article) - "Niche over large, data over fancy ideas, scrappiness over strategy, quiet go-getters over flashy stars, customer feedback over internal opinions, measurable outcomes over judgments, ...
One of those eclectic conversation nights with buddies who run racing circuits in India, to how to say no to $30K enterprise deals (coz an additional 0 is missing), to acquisitions that went wrong and many more.
Good fun @ Together AI event - amazing speakers talking about future of SaaS + AI, meeting friends and conversations.

Quality of mainstream TV ads in India has become such shit - realized while watching the World Cup - shallow and non emotive - what happened to the good old days of Vodafone / Nescafé / Cadbury’s really good ads?
A gem of a series on global money supply, taxation & economics @ (this episode is a must watch, and the channel is worth following)! Brilliantly explains what the ever expanding money supply (QE1..2..x) is doing to the world!
A bunch of us in Kolkata are trying to augment the health infrastructure in/around Kolkata. If you would like to contribute to this initiative, please reach out to me.

Amazing documentary on opening up of China’s economy @ - shows what a focused and committed government (along with people) can achieve, when it has a long term vision for the country; unlike India.
@akm1410
I’m struggling to find any ‘visionary’ Indian company (unicorn) taking a stand on an issue that matters for us long term - be it democracy, our rights, our institutions, our constitution - all seem to be puppets in someone’s hands (be it VCs, regulators, politicians or alike)

Unpopular opinion, but real fact: ITC hotels, while masquerading as a 5* hotel in India, is worse than a 3* on its service levels across multiple parameters!

You are taking to it an extreme binary. That’s reducing a complex/wicked problem to a simple/kind problem. Not everything can be reduced to such basics in a dynamic world. This leads to polarisation, without space for nuances. Us vs them isn’t the answer.
What started as a ray of hope is now a transformational beam that's ready to shine light on

"Partial pivots, by contrast, are a prolonged death march. If a product only attracts a curious interest from people who never seem quite ready to buy, a couple new features won’t ignite demand. Partners won’t turn a mediocre idea into a great one...
INDIA CHART AND DATA EXTRAVAGANZA THREAD. I collated tons of data from various sources for my India's Missing Middle Class package (links below). Not all of it was referred to or useful, some is contradictory. Here are 34 good ones.
@avlesh
Late in the conversation, but still surviving/kicking ass (growing again in new phase), and renewed vigour; profitable all this while (15 yrs of making *real* money) - do we count?
Gotta commend
@cars24india
for making it seamless & extremely professional (including tow service guy) to sell cars. Second time experience with them, and both have been stellar.
What would the new IA/UX paradigm for horizontal productivity AI would be - Ask & Adjust?
Summary:
- AIs will iteratively generate drafts or edits, and humans will hand-tweak them until they are right
- Till now, the paradigm for creation in productivity apps has been pretty
