There's no better motivation to improve the product, than seeing your friends use the PAID version of it. ♥️♥️ Merlin might be good today. But we promise to make it legendary. 🫡🔥🚀
It's been a week since I bought the Merlin Unlimited plan; using @foyerwork on PDFs, Research Paper, and even @X is good, man; I don't think I'll find a better way to research stuff. Looks like I'm just Ctrl + M ing my curiosity out

One of my biggest learnings from watching Groww, meeting friends there and understanding how it grows is that in any market, money flows in a certain way. If you look at Zerodha, Angel One, Groww, Dhan, they all make money the same way: through trading. Deeply engaged users
Today we celebrate Team @_groww often called the Charles Schwab or Robinhood of India — now the largest stock brokerage platform in the country, built in just 5 short years. 🇮🇳📈 Lalit, Harsh, Ishan, and Neeraj started Groww after leaving Flipkart in 2016 with one goal: make

Probably the best marketing is to just: 1. Make content that is very fun to make and fun to consume 2. Make content that honestly communicates what the product is going to help user with 3. Distribute it via people and platforms who enable point-1

Co-founder to your life. Privacy-first intelligence that empowers you to achieve your goals.
Conversation from the Stanford CS building today: A chatbot is a primitive interaction mode. It’s a reactionary (not proactive) one, too. By itself, it’s just a mouth: brilliant at language but disconnected from actual action. It can't do anything, it just says stuff. We’ll soon

A lot of misunderstanding today comes from raw verbal communication. Words are messy. Tone gets misread. If we remove that layer, life can get a lot more fun. Maybe we were meant to be silent always.

I look forward to this future: AI gets so good at communication that we no longer need to speak. Everyone is connected through digital media (say texts), and AI handles the translation of what we mean. Humans choose to be silent by default.

Sam Altman is probably the greatest example of someone who has done it so many times and still isn't stopping. You can't completely rationalise the move of taking $1.4T commitment on potential growth rates that are insanely hard to keep up with. But he still proceeds.

Most professionals (employees, founders, investors, etc) deeply desire to take actions, that do not need to be explained to others why it was taken. Many a times, they know in the heart it might be great to take it. They have an instinct for it. But they can't rationalise it

Below is great tweet by @Hardism that articulates a feeling I had for long on why India is a fabulously great country. 👇 Specifically love this quote in his tweet: "The Dalai Lama was once asked - what is the most unique thing about India? He answered that labourers who
I know this feels counterintuitive given bad roads, crazy traffic, crowded trains and long working hours. But at the risk of being hated for this opinion - let me give it a shot. I was in Tokyo earlier this year - it has every luxury imaginable of a first world country - yet

Respect the courage of @gigaml founders on leaving HFT jobs and Stanford PhD offers. Such risk-taking appetite is extremely hard to come by.
The message posted by Varun at the time of graduation. He gave up 525K salary, which is quite a lot for fresh graduate to start Giga AI. Esha also gave up his big job. If you know anything about India, that is quite a lot. And it was around the time the economy was just

Hate is such a pure emotion that when you see it online, you mostly don't doubt that it can be planted too. One considers the online hater to be driven purely by emotion. That's not always the case (specifically for the one who's the origin of online hate). (A very wise marketer

Things people like to pay for are like gravity. Sooner or later, your products gets pulled towards it.
