Tier 2 & Tier 3 founders —

You have one advantage Swiggy's entire
team cannot replicate.

Local knowledge.

Add Agentic AI to that?

You can build a delivery system for YOUR
district that Swiggy will never out-execute.

The opportunity is sitting right outside your door.

Why does Tamil Nadu continue producing strong engineers, founders, and business builders? 🚀

Because market leaders are not built on hype.

They are built on:
discipline,
execution,
consistency,
and long-term thinking.

That mindset creates powerful ecosystems.

Everyone is celebrating the trophy.

I am celebrating Virat Kohli's patience.

18+ years.
Countless expectations.
Criticism.
Near misses.
Pressure.

Yet he kept showing up.

This title is not just about winning.
It is about what happens when talent meets persistence for nearly two decades.

Congratulations @imVkohli and @RCBTweets.

A lesson in resilience for every founder, builder, and dreamer.

India produces millions of engineering graduates.

So why are we still struggling to build enough world-class technology companies?

The issue isn't talent.

It's execution.

Too many students are taught how to pass exams.

Too few are taught how to build products, solve real problems, sell, execute, and create value.

An engineering degree doesn't create innovation.

Curiosity does.

Experimentation does.

Execution does.

If India wants more founders, innovators, and global companies, we need to stop treating education as a finish line.

And start treating it as a launchpad.

Are we creating builders or simply producing job seekers?

What's the biggest thing missing from India's engineering ecosystem?

"Why don't you build something comparable to Apple?"

I asked this question to a friend who co-founded a technology manufacturing company.

Not for the sake of regional pride.

Because Tamil Nadu already has many of the ingredients required: engineering talent, manufacturing capability, R&D potential, and execution strength.

The question is no longer whether we can build it.

The question is whether we have the courage to try.

In my recent podcast, I was saying this as how the state should think like "How to make it as a process for the state" and "State should be the Market Leader" as like any company or industry.. An active competition from Startup, Tracking R & D

Every state wants more startups.

But the right question isn't:

"How do we get more startups?"

It's:

"How do WE become the startup market leader?" 🏛️

Tamil Nadu has the talent. The cities. The hunger.
Now it needs the market leader mindset. 👑🚀

Because govt employees serve the people. They run the government and we appointed our representative to just monitor or speak on our behalf. So think like its respecting people.

The perspective should be this way and wish many people understand this clearly, it will be different perspective than supporting party and democracy will be clebrated on how govt machine functions.
