    My first job offer in life was from Superstar Rajinikanth himself in the movie Sivaji. That technically makes him my first boss? I'm the 4th guy in blue shirt with vibhuti like a good boy

    10000% - If I wasn't in Bangalore, I would have probably never grown exponentially as a person!
    Young folks in India are happy working from their native home & saving cost of rent and getting home food. This is a fantastic short term benefit but the cost of this is very high. Learning being around smarter folks & absorption by osmosis and overhearing has reduced to zero.

    #PSA The moment we've all been waiting for is here 🙌 India's account aggregator framework is live with a small set of beta users 🎉 This is such a big milestone and will create an orbit shift for the India fintech ecosystem just like what UPI did to payments. 1/n

    Good time to talk about digital public goods in India and what ONDC is all about: ONDC stands for Open Network for Digital Commerce. It is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) setup as a not for profit company. The ownership structure is similar to NPCI 1/n
    Just read about ONDC in India. Seems like as big a deal as UPI. Building open protocols for e-commerce is an insanely good public good! Is it the first of its kind in the world? Well done @CimGOI and @ONDC_Official

    Indian startup ecosystem has a "operators" talent density problem. There are far too many young folks leaving opportunities on the table to become founders, before building the muscle of scaling existing businesses. This is one stark difference I see between the valley and here.
