The smartest thing I heard about AI this month wasn't from a founder. It was from my retired father.
I told him about a tool that reads your entire demat portfolio and tells you what to buy, sell, everything.
He asked one question: "Once a system knows everything about you, what happens next?"
I had no answer.
He said, a KYC form asks for your PAN, your ID. Specific reason for everything. It doesn't ask for your diary.
Your portfolio is your diary.
Every trade, every loss, sitting inside someone else's system.
30 years as an Income Tax officer. He wasn't saying no to AI.
He was saying: know what you're handing over, before you hand it over.
Do you connect your full portfolio to third-party tools?
@sundarpichai left India. @satyanadella left. Shantanu left.
@kunalb11 didn't.
Today, Zuckerberg handed him WhatsApp.
3 billion users. The most used app on Earth.
Philosophy grad. First salary βΉ10,000/month. No IIT. No Silicon Valley.
Built FreeCharge β sold for $400M.
Built CRED β $4.5B valuation.
Got a $900M cheque and the keys to WhatsApp.
And he did all of it without leaving.
The old Indian dream: leave India to lead the world.
The new one: stay. And make the world come to you.
Was leaving India ever really the dream? Or just the only option we knew?
My father-in-law has been giving me the same money advice for years.
I nodded.
Didn't really hear it.
Then I read Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Every word hit different.
Because he'd said the exact same things.
Years before @theRealKiyosaki made them famous.
Three things that finally landed:
"Don't buy things just to show people."
β Assets vs liabilities. The book just gave it a cleaner name.
"A salary feeds you. What you keep is what builds you."
β Make money work for you. I needed years of life to feel the weight of that line.
He never went to a fancy college.
But he understood something no syllabus teaches.
The difference between looking rich and actually being secure.
The wisdom was at my dinner table all along.
Some lessons we can only receive when life has prepared us to hear them.
Whose advice makes far more sense now than it did a few years ago?
Role: Instagram Content Writer & Editor (AI + Tech)
π Remote | College Intern | Fixed payout + bonus
We need ONE person who can:
β Write
β Edit
β Execute
β Actually grow the profile
I don't care about your college.
I don't care about your marks.
I care about what you can BUILD.
Day 5. Our @WhatsApp Business account is still disabled.
I left @Amazon to build @Prodyt_official on the official WhatsApp Business Platform.
Verified Tech Provider. Official APIs only.
No warning. No reason. Just - gone.
@Meta @zuck - this thread is for you.
Every founder building on @WhatsApp Business Platform:
Has this happened to you?
How long did it take?
What finally worked?
Reply below.
RT if you know a founder who's been through this. The more of us speak up, the harder it is to ignore.
@MetaforBusiness Anyone reading it immediately understands the unfairness without needing context. Still permanently disabled. Meta disabled our account. I'm still trying to make sense of this.
@awbrandshare@MetaforBusiness What triggered it? We added an admin for ads setup on 14th June. Two days later - everything disabled. We removed them same day. Appeal submitted. Email sent to [email protected]. Developer ticket raised
@awbrandshare@MetaforBusiness@MetaForBusiness@WhatsApp - We are a Meta-verified Tech Provider. On 16th June our entire portfolio was permanently disabled. Zero ads run. Zero violations. Accounts with ZERO issues got disabled too. No specific reason given.
We built @Prodyt on official @WhatsApp Business API.
Verified. Zero ads. Meta-approved templates only. Opted-in customers only.
Today permanently disabled.
Reason: "breach of Terms of Acceptable Use"
No specific violation. No warning. No real support agent to reach.
Our client's support is down. Every hour matters.
@Meta@WhatsApp - is this how you treat builders who do everything right?
I'm in the @Google for Startups Immersion x Antler India program.

Already building with Gemini.
If you're in this program too - let's connect on LinkedIn and push each other to top 25.

Things I said before using AI seriously:
"I'll figure it out manually."
"AI makes mistakes, I'll do it myself."
"I don't need it for this."
"Just let me Google it."
Things I say now:
"Wait, it already did it?"

In 1998, I saved βΉ2/day to buy a Melody toffee near my home in Jhansi.
Yesterday, Italy's PM held the same yellow wrapper on global TV.
Same βΉ1 candy. Three decades apart.
Parle spent βΉ0 on this moment.
No PR. No agency. No celebrity.
Just decades of being someone's childhood.
That's the only marketing that outlasts everything.
Build memories, not campaigns.
What's your βΉ1 childhood thing? Drop it below π

π¨ Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.
Taught by the people who built it.
Free. No registration. No paywall.
I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.
Watch it and bookmark it now.
