Hello everyone,
I have switched to Zoho Mail. Kindly note the change in my email address.
My new email address is amitshah.bjp @ https://t.co/32C314L8Ct. For future correspondence via mail, kindly use this address.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
@jindalmohit@Trinhnomics I agree, but just another view point, the major wallet share of the expense goes to the event managers and planners. Im not sure how much actually these wedding planners squeeze the margins from other vendors based on their buying power
I have been speaking at industry bodies, large company meets, colleges and various other forums in many parts of India (tomorrow in Mumbai!).
I also hear from a lot of Indians living abroad who want to return to India. Just yesterday I met a FAANG engineer who plans to return to rural India.
The sense of optimism is real. India is the most dynamic large economy in the world, poised for decades of solid growth.
This is the time to invest in India. We are investing heavily both within Zoho as well by backing deep R&D driven companies similar to Zoho in outlook.
Our rule of thumb is simple: if some technology is not yet being developed in India, we are interested in people that are committed to solving that problem, by creating and nurturing the talent that will achieve mastery in that domain.
Long term focus is a must - we are not interested in exit driven companies.
Who does not love bull markets except when you read stuff like:
This mkt is going up because broker A put a BUY
This mkt is going up because broker B put a sell and he is always wrong
Stock is going up because promoter is buying
Stock is going up because promoter is selling- which will increase float and it will come in index
Stock is going up because power is so essential for us
Stock is going up for telecom is so important for us
Stock is going up because we will consume more
Stock is going up because we will save more.
Arre bhai relax, chill and enjoy. Don't make stories every day for every Stock.
Indian startup investors finally discover that Syndicate leads are just content creators with a mailing list and with skin-in-the-game less than bankers.
Will explain the math if I get 100 RTs
Many founders who raised large amounts of money ($10m+) in 2020-21 but subsequently realized they don’t have PMF, are going through an excruciating psychological journey right now.
On one hand, they feel beholden to employees and investors to keep building, pivoting, doing anything to live up to their perceived commitment to their stakeholders to build an enduring company.
On the other hand, they have a sinking feeling that they are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Their heart just is not in it. There is a deep-felt malaise.
The more money a founder has raised, the deeper this predicament.
I just had the first such founder return a good chunk of invested capital back to investors, because they couldn’t take the pressure any longer. The relief they felt when they realized investors and employees were on board and 100% supportive of their decision, was palpable. (All employees received solid severance before the company shut down).
Founders - ultimately it’s your call, but know that there is a graceful way out. Chasing endless pivots trying to find PMF is a bridge to nowhere.
Investors - let’s have the grace and courage to tell founders this option is available to them. The founder told me that the reason they ultimately decided to return the money stemmed from a convo with me several weeks ago, when they told me about their latest pivot, and I told them I’m supportive “as long as their heart is truly in it”. That phrase stuck with them, they introspected and ultimately realized their heart was not in it.

Pls read complete thread. 🙏
This misleading report which claims India lost access to 26 PATROLLING POINTS along #LAC will hurt Indian PM #Modi a lot more than #BBC PROPAGANDA.
Everyone who read it, believed it‼️
Theres no way to VERIFY THIS.👎
Here’s the reality:
The VC slowdown is real
But 400+ brave VCs still invested over $1M in seed deals last month
If you're raising soon, maybe start with them?
To help, I made a list of 418 investors who led round over $1M
