“You’re not selling because you’ve lost faith. You’re selling because the market structure won’t reward your faith —even if you’re right.” Exit decisions are brutally hard especially for high conviction investors.

Thank you for hosting me @siddharthaa7 and @nansi_mishra (@TheNeonShoww). So fun to do this with a good friend @bhushan08! Quick titbit - Brij actually was the first guy who explained to me what the VC job is, and got me into the industry ~11 years back :)
Last week I sat down with my friends Brij Bhushan and Pratik Poddar to share our deepest insights, fears and the biases we come across as Investors. The biggest challenge is not idea selection but timing the wave before the market reacts. @pratikpoddar @bhushan08

One of the most important lessons from groww is.. 👇 "Where there is one diamond, there are usually more. And Where there is one unicorn, there are usually more" Remember that before groww, there was already a 1000 pound gorilla - Zerodha. And there were many players that made

In 2015, as a 25 year old kid who had just started Unacademy. I sent an email to @deepigoyal. He replied back by saying “Kyon milna hai yaar. Dhandha banao.” I didn’t give up. I kept mailing him every week. And finally he did agree for a 15m Meeting (after months of chasing

Putting a dollar value on your time is under-rated. Put a value, say, 1000$ an hour. 1. You will avoid low value, low fulfilment tasks. You will be more productive and more fulfilled 2. You will have more gratitude. You will feel immense gratitude towards people who let you

The only way one truly learns to respect other entrepreneurs is not by seeing their success or fame, but by trying to be an entrepreneur oneself. That’s when one begins to respect every entrepreneur, regardless of their success.

Zepto’s story blows my mind every time. Started by 19-year-olds, and in 4 years they’ve built one of India’s most operationally excellent company. That’s rare anywhere in the world maybe only Zuckerberg did it that young(his company involved way less ops/humans to deal with!)
We've just closed this financing, although it still feels like Day 1. We have a lot more execution to go before we build a generational company for our customers and shareholders. Back to work :) P.S. - We have built an excellent selection of Gold and Silver coins for customers
