    "What if X builds that?", "Why hasn't X built/building that?" are 2 common questions founders field from investors. I've been fortunate enough to be on both sides of the table & here's a scratchpad of thoughts on the skeleton of a few better answers I've given/heard 👇

    Was listening to @kunalb11 & @SharmaShradha this afternoon. Absolutely loved it. Have made some notes sharing the key takeaways for those pressed for time. Core Argument: obsess over/chase/compare skills, success & money will always follow. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=12AOcV…

    The most incredible Indian tech story is the underlying infrastructure that enables UPI IMHO India has the only "public" platform in the world w/ a billion+ users Here's a deep dive on the same from ~12 months back

    Very elated to see @dhiwise cross the 100K users on the platform milestone w/ over 3M screens processed @Vishalvirani91 was a Gen AI founder well before it was mainstream & has been relentless in his execution To put these numbers in context, we went from 2M to 3M screens
