MEDDPICC has been the most popular B2B sales framework. There hasn't been a corresponding framework to look at customer health and answer 'Will this customer renew?' in a systematic way. I am proposing a B2B CS framework - MELICCEO. Let's dive in đź§µ:

Out of chatGPT/Claude/Gemini, Gemini is the worst on hallucinations and completely forgetting the context (in a small window). Am I doing someting wrong?

6/ Post-1990, India began to align more closely with global trends. Have you seen a generational taxonomy for India? Does my version make sense? If anyone is interested in this topic, reach out :)

5/ Bridge Gen (~1971–1990) “We were born in black-and-white and came of age in color.” - Watched Mahabharat on Sundays and Friends reruns by our college. - Went from landlines to mobile phones, from saving every rupee to buying their first car with EMIs.

4/ Duty Gen (~1946–1970) “We lived with less so you could live with more.” - Grew up in scarcity. Shared textbooks. Ironed their shirt collars every Sunday. - Trusted the government, LIC, and UTI. - Worked 30 years in one job and still sent two kids to engineering college.

3/ - Wrote letters in Urdu, marched in the Quit India Movement, listened to speeches on the radio. - Believed in building something bigger than themselves. - They saw Partition, built cities from scratch, stood in lines with ration cards without complaint.

2/ But India had its own arc. And before the 2000s, it followed a completely different rhythm. So I (with ChatGPT) came up with this 3-part generational lens—covering Indians born between 1910 and 1990. Freedom Gen (~1910–1945) “We dreamed and fought for India.”

1/ This weekend, I vibe-researched Indian history to create a generational taxonomy—India’s own Boomers and Gen X. Most generational labels we use today—Silent Generation, Boomers, Gen X—were built for the West. They reflect their wars, music, tech, and revolutions.

What I learned building this: Treat LLMs like junior engineers — clear instructions are key. They'll forget things, will make mistakes… but they’ll figure it out (almost). “Mobile app for one,” “Web app for one,” “SaaS for one” — possible now.

It imports my contacts, nudges me to reconnect with 3 people a day, and tracks my weekly goal. Built to solve a real problem I face: staying in touch. The app is not perfect by any means - but already functional. I will keep adding more features to it.

Over the weekend, I vibe-coded a native iOS app in Swift — my first time ever using Swift and my first time coding in a decade. No tutorials, no docs — just four hours of back-and-forth with ChatGPT. The result? A simple personal networking coach.

2/ This checklist might help you: 1. Market: Is the market big and fast-growing? 2. Product: Does the company have the BEST product out there, by far? 3. Track record: Is the company beating its numbers - quarter on quarter?

Last 1 week on X: 1. Saw PR hit jobs in real time - Ind cricket, and SRK/PC today. So what’s the difference with traditional media? 2. Being contrarian helps. 3. More detailed coverage of some news, while no coverage of others.

Listening is a superpower - often under utilized and under appreciated. You always want the other person to be a good listener, not yourself.
