The dark side of India's IT wave is that it sucks up all the talent. We have a lot fewer high quality architects, teachers, writers, designers, scientists - all the things that make society better.

This war is going to drain India economically. We import most of our weapons. There was no point bringing pride into it. Revenge could have been planned and delivered quietly and tactically. I hope good sense prevails even now. India has a lot more to lose. #endthewar.

So happy to register my first civil disobedience. Got arrested along with @naukarshah and gang. Was embarrassingly scared when picked up by the police. But it was all in good spirit. Secularism is well and alive in India. #CABProtests

Forget Flipkart, PayTM, Ola, MMT. The most inspiring tech story in India is about a bunch of 20 odd hackers with no external funding, who stormed the financial services market to create the largest brokerage, Zerodha. The VCs ain’t gonna tweet about this. Don’t miss this talk!.

People mocking @elonmusk don't understand what he is doing. He is doing things from first principles and trying to break up Twitter's bureaucracy. Give it a few weeks. This is realtime views of how great companies get built. (You can call me out later!).

Reminder to self: In midst all the noises out there to distract you, if there is one thing you must remember is “build”. Build today on top of what you built yesterday. Build better products, stories, teams. Build, so some of it stays.

@naukarshah Sorry was detained (and roughed up) not arrested. Still learning baby steps of activism. Was really surprised when I was one of the 28 out out 100s to be detained. My only bravery was that I was holding a placard of #NoCAB.

At Frappe, we broke new ground yesterday. We asked everyone to propose their pay and approved everyone's proposal. It took incredible courage (we debated and voted on this) to put so much faith on our colleagues. Excited to see how this level of trust changes the way we work.

Today is a sad day for India. Millions rejoice on the religious foundation on an illegally occupied piece of land, while an entire region of 8M people is a virtual jail. The lust for false pride has made people lose their humanity. Get well soon my fellow citizens.

India's "enterprises" are worst customers ever. They don't want to pay and want all issues resolved on the same day, and act as if it is our fucking problem. Then you ask why are there no software product companies in India.

This is near perfect. The underlying principle is that technology leaders must have deep understanding and experience of how code and complex systems really work. And yes, RDBMS works pretty well 97.42% of all business software use cases.

PayTM spends 6,100cr for a revenue of 3,500cr, and expects a valuation of 150,000cr. That is 42X the revenue and 200X potential earnings (assuming 20% net profit). If this is not a bubble, I have no idea what is! I am surprised so few people are calling it out . #PayTmIPO.

In solidarity with Indian Muslims, I am also not going to submit my NRC documents when the time comes. #CABBill2019 #CivilDisobedience.
Indian Muslims should follow Mahatma Gandhi and go for peaceful boycott of NRC. Don’t come forward to give any documents. Let them declare 200 million Muslims illegal and build camps for them. India today needs another Gandhi, another freedom movement from Hate & Bigotry.

This is insane. Can’t imagine the courage it takes to rewrite the rules of capitalism. Reminds me of the Gandhi quote “You are the trustee of your wealth, not the owner”. (Needless to add @Nithin0dha and Kailash have been dream partners for @frappetech).
We started @Rainmatterin in 2016 to support fintech startups working on helping people do better with their money. So far, we have invested ~ Rs 400 crores in 80 startups. In this journey, we realized that having patient Indian investors backing Indian founders is helpful. We're.

Have often been asked about what will ERPs mean in the age of AI. Here is my response:. AI is a “quality of life improvement” for users, while an ERP is a system of records. A system of records has to be solid and reliable. One way to put is that if ERP is a chair, then AI is.
