A fresh financial year has begun and India’s startup ecosystem wasted no time making headlines. Here’s what went down this week:

[Deedy @deedydas]

Indian startup Dotpe, that raised ~$100M to build point of sale systems for restaurants left their entire API fully public.

A clever hacker found out the most ordered thing at every Social in India.

And did a prank to order what he wanted for a person next to him!

Zero auth.

It was raining heavily when I parked my car beside a traffic signal near court circle udaipur, where I saw an old uncle selling hot samosa and poha. I placed an order and curiously asked him why he didn't take a rest today, considering his age. He told me something that completely changed my perspective on work.

“Beta, main ab is umra mein paise ke liye kaam nahi karta. Main apne dil ko khush rakhne ke liye kaam karta hun. Ghar par akela baithne se yahan baithna behtar hai. Jab main chaar logon ke khush chehre dekhta hun, jo mere khane ka swaad lete hain, to mera dil khushi se bhar jata hai”

While the whole world cribs about work, some people are writing stories of their retirement. <3

Normalize spending 100 hours researching your audience before creating 100 pieces of content that is meant to influence their behavior.

Here are 5 times they shocked the world 🧵

[mukulagarwal @MukulAgarwal66]

you are earning 2 lac a month and you are paying 20% of it as income tax.

from which angle is it "excessive"

and for the record, earning 2 lacs a month does not make you middle class, but in the top 5 percentile

While a section of Bollywood movie stars are busy holidaying at exotic locations, sharing fancy photoshoots and reels in Instagram, Kannada actor Arjun Gowda becomes an ambulance driver helping people, offering with assistance for final rites of #Covid patients.

[Pakchikpak Raja Babu @HaramiParindey]

Arvind Kejriwal broadcasted the private discussion session with Prime Minister on live television.

This is the Shweta mic open case all over again.

My friends who abandoned me a long time ago are also reaching out to find leads on beds or oxygen. It really is getting bad out there.

[Samantha Leal @samanthalcc]

Marketing is a battle of perception, not a battle of products.

What your customer believes is reality.

[Katelyn Bourgoin 🧠 @KateBour]

Random thought:

Many people start their biz because they want more “freedom”

But when you run a business, it’s always on your mind. Even if you’re not working you’re often thinking about it

Is it the 9-5ers who are truly free?

The ones who can clock out and forget about work?

[Deepinder Goyal @deepigoyal]

I want to chime in about the incident that happened in Bengaluru a few days ago. @zomato

[Tinkle Magazine @TinkleMagazine]

It's been ten long years since Uncle Pai left us and we really miss him!

Breakfast or Snacks? 🤔
Mangaluru Banana Bun is a sweetish quick bite snacks popular in coastal Karnataka. Banana bun is made from mashed ripe bananas, flour and sugar. This is a must try delicacy while visiting coastal Karnataka.

Their pessimism is your opportunity.

[Naval @naval]

Any ideology that talks you out of the gene pool is a hopeless and nihilistic one.

[Naval @naval]

If absolute truth exists, it must be available to everyone, everywhere, at all times.

Therefore, the path to truth cannot require any knowledge or effort.
