At 10pm I got an email and LinkedIn DM from an impressive student asking for an internship At 12am I sent him a zoom link. He hopped on, exchanged stories, and I told him about a feature I wanted to build out. At 2:46am he set me completed designs. At 2:47am he was hired.

Just got off call with our engineer in India. It’s almost 4am there. Every 30 minutes I’d tell him it’s late he should sleep but he refused to cut the call until he debugged everything perfectly. There’s no question of burnout when you’re surrounded by people like this

One of the dumbest things I did as a freshman was wasting hours writing emails to CEOs I looked up to, to get on calls with them. I rarely had a reason to chat. Deep down I now realize I was just trying to feel big by speaking to these important people. Unsurprisingly the

Open request to the memory team @OpenAI Responses are annoyingly biased by what I’ve spoken about before (for eg a fresh discussion on a startup idea will suddenly respond with an India focus) I find myself either using temporary chat (which sucks because I want to be able to

My mom quit her job to raise my sister and me. After 20 years, she finally took the leap to chase her dream of being a founder. Today, she closed a $2M seed for @LaiqaWellness. So proud of you ma, this is just the beginning :) inc42-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/inc42.com/…
