Funny, how the street keeps chasing this theme
In 2013, over $5000 worth of gadgets from 1991 could fit into an iPhone
In 2026, thousands of dollars worth of software now fits into a Claude
And thats the best analogy I can use to describe the condition of SaaS industry today
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. Every time the 10Y hits 4.40%, Trump gets a new "peace process." Iran's entire strategy is now legible in one chart: hold Hormuz → oil spikes → inflation expectations rise → bond yields spike → Trump blinks. No military victory required. They've reduced US foreign policy to a rates trade. The most powerful army in the world is being managed by the Treasury curve.
US President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social, "...I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions"

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

Nuvama's structure is unusually well-positioned for uncertainty, which is the best kind of positioning.
Each business has different margin profiles and growth drivers, but they create recursive advantages for each other. Wealth clients provide insights for manufacturing; manufactured products improve distribution economics; research capabilities support both wealth advisory and capital markets; asset services creates switching costs for institutional clients.
The business benefits from increased market activity (capital markets), increased wealth accumulation (wealth management), increased demand for alternatives (asset management), and increased regulatory complexity (asset services drives value through compliance infrastructure). You don't need to predict which trend dominates... you're positioned for all of them.

ALL E TECHNOLOGIES
Not a big fan of the IT sector with current headwinds BUT a few points to note:
~ All E tech currently trading at a multiple of 11 considering net cash of 140cr still not utilised
~ They mainly specialise in helping enterprises integrate with Microsoft applications so AI adaptation shouldn’t be a major challenge
~ Guidance for FY26 is in the 20% range, though management is a bit under-aggressive (but honest at the same time)
~ Current valuations suggest that we might be closer to a bottom though SME sector overhang might remain
A life was taken. That isn’t something you just get away with. Justice must be served-no one is above consequences, and it’s time they learn that.

India just spent Rs 76,000 Cr to make its FIRST semiconductor chip
But Taiwan made the SAME chip 10 years ago!
Everyone's celebrating while industry insiders are confused
So why are we pouring billions into "outdated" technology?
