1000% !!
Obsessing about the smallest and wackiest of details that not a lot of people give a damn about is true company building, atleast for me 💯

In the early stages of company-building, most founders often ignore what their board could look like a few years down. It’s only later in the post-PMF high-velocity iterative-execution phase that they understand its importance :)

If possible, got to always “choose” who you want…

💯 & they are at it 🇯🇵

What would you classify this ad (inside a theatre) as:
- Brand Awareness?
- Brand Recall?
- End-of-funnel Conversion Event?
- Inflection-point Conversion Swinger?

Only goal is to CRAVE for this level of intensity, obsession for the game you play. And to know that it takes ‘everything and more’ behind the scene to be here!!

Most Indian governments 🇮🇳 have done whatever they could best do in all our years since independence. Yes, some have been corrupt, across party lines. Yes, there have been bad patches, bit of early 70s, late 80s, early 10s.

But conclusion is: it is Indians who take India…

If it doesn’t hurt real bad every time you lose a little, then fight hai ..

Builders like to BUILD, & for them the madness is in the “journey” of playing it out loud everyday! 🎶

We received our first acquisition offer in late 2019, which was just 2 years out of starting. From where I come from, it was absolute life changing money for me. That exact…

Onto us new-age entrepreneurs in India to prove our “Corproate Governance Standards” to the world at large 🙏🏼

It is what it is. Bunch of our previous gen did fuck up. So versus claiming victimhood, better to operate with a level of integrity and ethics that puts us at the very…

The heaviest decisions are always “hey we got this wrong, let’s fall back immediately”

Super tough to take because the builder / leader in you ‘wants to make it work’, has an ego that doesn’t want to accept defeat in front of those on the fringe ready to say “see I told you so”…

I had a chance to sit down with Anna Bjerde of World Bank and talk about the power of technology and capital for women, aiding engines of economic growth for countries like India. We also spoke about building SHEROES Mahila Money Appreciate Capital

Only the rare understand obsession.
Only those rare see its results.

Judge founders by their granularity re their cost base. How innovative, how brutal, how obsessive can they be about beating them down continuously and get thy kick from it!

It’s always super duper special when my rockstar son visits the HQ 📍

A big question I consistently get from early stage founders - is taking VC cash versus building bootstrapped. While I say out loud everytime that I’d choose latter or take way less capital intentionally if I were to do it again, I can’t deny the fact that being part of the VC…

Lovely to get dinner with Sana Ajani, who I’ve continued to be fond of for the longest time, and with whom I share a very unique all-out relationship, which makes getting together always special 🙂

Sana, in her previous VC-avatar, co-wrote Leverage’s first institutional cheque.…
