    I met Debraj Banerjee while pitching @taghashhq for a big account. We didn’t land the contract, but I did leave that room with a lifelong well-wisher. So when we decided to launch our podcast at Taghash, Debraj Banerjee was the obvious first guest. It also helped that he stayed

    Having a co-founder who is equally motivated as you is the biggest asset. Startup journey is very lonely for a founder.

    More than half of India's rural kids go to school for mid day meals. You projection for disrupting school education looks good on presentation deck or inside conference room. Travel 100 KM out of Indian capital cities/metros, there exists a different India.

    I know of a startup which paid $100K month to cloud bills because they could not optimize there DB query and had enough $$ in bank. They are no more now. With fundraising drying now is the good time to optimize cloud bills instead making coffee payable for employees.

    People sitting in metros will not know about the other face of India where managing a meal in itself is challenge. All the big word of development starts in metro, stops after few km radius.

    Some of my friends got married giving priority to looks. It has faded and now all is left is offsprings, arguments. In brain and looks competition, mostly looks win.

    I am making list of VC firms who are known to ghost founders and share it publicly. I am seeing a common pattern with a few funds at all levels.

    While Snapdeal founders did all thought leadership/gyaanbazzi, Flipkart founders made 1000 of their employees rich. 😍🥳🙌
