College Advice:
During college, make friends, make love, fight battles, bunk lectures, date someone, face rejections, face failures, travel alot, eat street food, enjoy life and treasure these memories!
Don't obsess over internships, startup & career!
Don't be me!

The only advantage Bangalore had over Mumbai was the weather!
Now that advantage no longer exists!
I am back to loving my hometown Mumbai more than Blr!
Atleast houses in Mumbai have A/Cs, friendlier landlords,
Also no breweries claiming to be the largest in Asia.

The nature of this tweet was supposed to be taken light heartedly, it was meant for all those students who take alot of stress, anxiety and pressure for succeeding, without a balance.
Please have a balance in life but don't obsess over career, Internship and startups.

Dear College students,
While unpaid internship is unfair and not justified, but if you think it will add tremendous value to you, JUST DO IT!
PS: - Unpaid internship is really wrong, but I have done it and it helped me grow alot.

My college days were literally the best days of my life.
I fell in love, competed heavily for clubs and fests, heavy college drama, few trips and lots of parties, late night trips and too much fun!
I still topped academically in my cohort of 260 students.
We exist!

Biggest lesson I learnt as a founder is that you don't need to build product from day 0.
First validate your idea and build conviction with your early customers.
Product will always keep evolving and never be complete. As an early founder, focus on revenue from Day 0.

Founder's need to understand it's okay to have bad numbers, you are doing your best and the numbers will improve over time.
But misreporting data is an integrity issue, you can't solve for malice!
Such incidents paint a bad picture for founder's but also act as a lesson.

build as a solo founder and raising $1.5M from marquee investors such as Together fund & Nexus.
I have been fortunate to be an early cheerleader in his journey and watch him build silently with deep focus and conviction.
for a solo founder, everyone becomes a co-founder and I have a village to thank.
Generative AI is a magical blackbox. We're teaching it to be honest and focused so our customers don't have to.

Start spending 10 mins a day with yourself.
In those 10 mins only think about
- your day

- your emotional present
Nothing else, no phone, no distraction. Only you with you.

Overheard:
Most startups never make profits and never will. The unit economics are so poor due to blind scaling, they lose more money on every sale. Very few will survive to see profits.
