This is a photo of Elon Musk's son at a meeting where his father met with the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Notice that this child of the richest man in the world carries no phone, no iPad, or any other electronic gadget that entertains, while stealing children's attention span. Instead, the then-eight-year-old boy was reading Secrets of Mental Math by Arthur T. Benjamin and Michael Shermer, while his brother held another book.
That is the secret between the Rich Dad and the Poor Dad. The wealthiest man in the world is teaching his children mathematics and numbers, while your child has a phone, iPad and still plays video games on another device after watching Netflix.
Steve Jobs, the creator of the iPad and iPhone, did not let his own children use both devices. He instead gave them books and even paid them to read. Please fact-check me. Yet, you overload your children with digital devices.
Mark Zuckerberg is famous for not having a television in his house. Not even one. His reason is that it will distract his wife, his children, and him from reading.
Notice what all three of these tech billionaire founders had in common. Their children are readers.
If you don't teach your children to love learning, they will grow up to become adults who are not earning. Children who lead grow to become adults who lead. The expansion of the mind in childhood results in an increase in your wealth in adulthood, if you can apply what your books supply.
And by the way, notice how simply the children are dressed. It just reminds me of how simply Alhaji Aliko Dangote's children were absorbed when I met them last year after spending time with him.
Think about this and consider making a positive change in your child's life.

10-minute delivery in India isn't magic. It's really good engineering.
@albinder and @letsblinkit built tech that most people never see.
We went deep on how it works.
Mumbai Police…
You just gave us the gift of hope and happiness.

Gautam Raikar, an engineer, turned his millet cookie experiments into a cult vegan ice cream brand—after failing so hard, even cows said no!
Today, his brand Liki Foods makes 50,000 litres a month, supports farmers, and proves millets can be cool AND delicious. ✨🍦
Never give up on your crazy ideas—they might just change the game!

Zudio and Westside are the same company!
But when they already had Westside, why make Zudio a standalone brand and maintain 2 brands in the same industry?
They don't even share stores even though it will be very cost efficient
Here’s why the TATAs are doing this:
@Grofers Doesn’t answer my question to the point. Anyways, I sanitise the already sanitised package for our mental piece.. Thanks for delivering groceries in these tough times!
@albinder I am a loyal customer of grofers. No offence, but how frequently you are getting your delivery partners tested for Covid-19? Or is it when you see some symptoms?
I dated a guy for years in college but it didn’t work out, I was telling my dad that it’s upsetting to have a failed relationship to which he said-
“the fact that you remember each other fondly means that it wasn’t a failed relationship”
Proud to present the backstory of the startup that took the longest ever between Seed & Series A in the entire @IndiaQuotient portfolio: 58 months 😅💪🏻
@chamath When people ask me "what will be one advice to your 20 year old self?"
this is the only thing I have to say
"Everything is going to be all right"
