It’s good to step out of Silicon Valley once in a while to really understand how much of a bubble we live in AND how far behind the rest of the world is.. There’s so much low hanging fruit - I really don’t understand how anyone can be pessimistic about AI. Also, refreshing to

Silent flow. Early accumulation. $NET green before anyone looked. AI caught it — traders chased it.

7 years ago Groww was 1/10th of Zerodha's client base, today it is 50% larger Few would have expected a tiny brokerage to upseat the original tiny brokerage Never let competition be a reason to dream less, you could become the competitor everyone aspires to be

This week, I saw a startup that hadn't been incorporated offered $10M. Another landed a $20M Series A in 2 days with no opens on the dataroom (and no financials). Many venture firms are skipping due diligence in its entirety to be competitive. This won't end well.

Hot take: Resumes are dead. They don’t work anymore. Why: they commoditize you against thousands of identical candidates on a single piece of black & white A4 paper. I reviewed 100s of job applications this week and didn't look at a single resume. Focus on these instead: -
