Dear @ICC,
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the recent T20 World Cup, a global cricketing spectacle on a scale unlike any other in past years. It was so good that several nations decided not to leave upon their tournament exit, and it appears they might never do so.
As for us, the tournament brought drama and infamy. We staked our claim to replace the forfeiting Pakistan, then realised the harsh economic and logistical realities of international sport. Colombo is not Reykjavík, in so many ways. Then we had the unforfeiture of Pakistan, an event that actually vindicated our 'stay-at-home, fire it out online' strategy. They knew their plan and played it like a fish.
Let's not forget the actual cricket. The associate nations nearly caused several shocks - both Nepal, Netherlands, and Italy all coming within a whisker of a win over the big boys. Then there was the classic match between Afghanistan and South Africa, which was so good they did the Super Over twice.
At the end of the day, it was India's tournament to host and they delivered, blasting more than 500 runs across the semis and final. They brought the fire. We watched and tried to learn, but lava bedded wickets are not quite the same. Conquering Iceland remains the ultimate litmus test of a batter.
We count the statistics and arrive at an aggregate count of 245 posts by us on X and 3,420 loaves of bread baked by our captain, Dushan Bandara, across the tournament as a whole. Our Chairman, a ship captain, steered all voyages safely into harbour.
And finally, the world famous Íslensk Premier League (ÍPL) is now only two months away, the T20 franchise tournament with a sub-Arctic twist. We wait patiently and keep our keyboards warm.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association

Happy Teachers’ Day! A good day to remember :)

🚀 Exciting times at the @Razorpay FTX event on 23rd!
I had the pleasure of attending an incredible event where Razorpay unveiled their latest products, and let me tell you, they’re game-changers! As someone who relies on Razorpay’s complete suite of products at @FarmakoIN (1/6)
reconnecting with some of my college batchmates added an extra layer of nostalgia and camaraderie to the event.
Thank you, Razorpay, for organizing such an insightful and engaging event! (5/6)
Delivering medicines in 30 minutes at this odd hour (read 3AM) gives you immense pleasure and satisfaction. Tears for your happy customers are real man, they remind us why we do what we do (2/2)

Hi folks, a few weeks back I had written about a company called Medobed which was building a 10 minute medicine delivery business in India.
I was informed today that Y Combinator has removed them from the current batch due to certain ethical issues.
It confirms the suspicion that some of you had shared with me on DMs last week - the metrics seem too good to be true (especially the claims of operational profitability).
All figures quoted by me came from official investor communication by the company - which also now has been redacted from the public domain.
In my process of writing about any company:
(a) I always verify numbers with a CXO / Founder directly,
(b) Try the product or get someone known to try the product
(c) Cite figures from public sources (unless stated otherwise).
Please note: As mentioned previously, the post about Medobed wasn’t sponsored and I’m not an investor (thankfully).
I regret in this instance that there were misreported figures - I have removed the original post about Medobed. Would like to apologize for the same.
As mentioned in the original post, I would encourage you to check 2 companies that do < 30 minute medicine delivery in India (for real):
(1) Aayu by Medcords (in Rajasthan)
(2) Farmako (in Delhi NCR)
Aayu is live on ONDC as well whereas Farmako has an active followership on LinkedIn. Incidentally, Farmako is also a YC backed company.
Thank you.
