Imagine turning down a 100 cr offer for an app nobody knows about๐ญ Literally 5K downloads on play store.

I turned down a 100+ crore acquisition offer for WebVeda last month.

100 crores is a lot.
A broken promise costs more.
PS: Please don't ask me details about the deal. Both of us decided not to share any details - I am respecting my side of the promise.

humein yaqeen tha hamara qusoor niklega.โ
Iโm 21. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general โsurround yourself with positive peopleโ tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.
As a Muslim, your prayers are not accepted if you turn your back on Saudi Arabia, and if you are able to visit it but choose not to, then you will go to hell.
The Gulf Arab regimes did not move an inch when the Palestinians were being exterminated and starved to death.
But as soon as their oil wealth is under threat, they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, ready to move heaven and earth to preserve it.
