    If you are an entrepreneur looking to start a company, let your decision be driven by your ability to attract talent and not capital. This is going to be a golden period to build a company.

    India is now doing 100k Covid-19 tests a day. 2 months ago, when we started working on testing at @actioncovidteam, India was only doing a 1000 tests a day. This 100x scale-up has been enabled by many @actioncovidteam companies.

    Satya is arguably the most successful CEO in recent corporate history. As we scale @_groww, we couldn’t have asked for a better leader to learn from. Welcome onboard @satyanadella! @Sequoia_India

    India has had two >$10B+ IPOs in the span of a few months in $ZOMATO and $FRSH. Both are bellwethers in consumer internet and SaaS respectively. But more importantly both had @mobhat from @Sequoia_India as a board member and partner. Truly inspiring!

    C’mon @JoeBiden @POTUS! The US has enough stockpiles of vaccines. Lifting the ban on ‘raw material’ exports doesn’t hurt Americans one bit. With your election, the world hoped to see America exhibit global leadership again. India needs help right now! x.com/i/events/13856…
