    powerful thing i learnt from a v successful founder: look for people who are "done with themselves" they are done looking for more titles, validation or comp ... it's no longer about them such people, however rare, are ready to serve a greater purpose. they are future leaders

    If you are one of those who wants to help during the Covid crisis in India, but dont know how, its super easy: Persuade someone you know to get the vaccine. Convince the skeptics and get them jabbed. And then the next. Keep at it. #StayRelentless

    startups are hard, founders are constantly dealing with high volatility, leading teams is v hard on them in such environments .... ... if you work in a startup, what your founders need is high performance, low drama 🙏

    If your startup is scaling rapidly, you are likely getting a lot of investor interest; it’s tempting to raise capital again and again, even if you don’t need it. It makes you feel like you are winning. Be careful. The high of a fundraise lasts 90 days, dilution lasts a lifetime.

    Every time I hear a story of a founder cold calling someone super important and out of reach for them, and converting them to a customer, mentor, investor ... i always smile, its so special one of those things that the best founders do for a living. no barriers in their minds

    large funding and unicorn valuations are not success to build an enduring company, you need an economic engine that throws out cash at scale many "successful" startups have the reverse - funding boom has created giant cash guzzlers path to +ve cash flows is hard #StayFrugal

    some founders just care a lot less about money at a personal level (vs some who are v focused on it) ... their objectives are centered around building epic products, working with incredible people, solving important problems, winning this is a super power no one talks about

    many startups are reporting 20-40% employees are dealing with Covid themselves or in their families its very distressing, it requires all leaders to step up and focus on helping their teams above all else it also means, this pandemic will decline as fast as it is has grown
