You really need to be extremely unemployed to keep up with all this AI stuff.

Wanting an honest education system, and immediate accountability isn’t a political issue, it’s a human one. If a student wants to scream that message from a cockroach party, ruling party, opposition party, Bhangra party or a kitty party…they should have everyone’s support.

Sorry to break this news …

IT is not going anywhere. Not in the next 1–2 decades.

What’s changing is the nature of work. Roles will evolve, AI will become an enabler, workflows will get faster, and businesses themselves will scale at a pace we haven’t seen before.

Most people are only focused on efficiency, automation and cost cutting. Very few are talking about the value creation this unlocks.

New use cases, new business models, new problems to solve, all of them will emerge much faster now. Complex implementations that earlier took years may soon take months.

Every major technology shift created fear first, and opportunities later. This phase is no different.

Disclosure - I am invested in IT. This post is not to convince anyone, just sharing my view. Happy to listen to constructive thoughts and counterpoints.

Where is the May data? Bloomberg says gold was sold in May. Kindly provide that. This is not a clarification, it's an eyewash.

10 साल पहले अमित शाह जी ने प्रेस कांफ्रेंस कर के 2 काग़ज़ दिखा कर कहा की यह प्रधानमंत्री मोदी की डिग्री की कॉपी है।

पर यही बात कोर्ट में हलफनामे समेत कहने से क्यों डर गई थी भाजपा? डिग्री नक़ली है क्या?

31 May 2020:
I was on the road, staring at failure at the start of my 40s.

1 June 2020:
6 years back, on this day I started my journey of building Raise (@RaiseTheBarHQ) from zero.

The day before, I held a fancy title of Founder, Managing Director and CEO of a financial services company, was an industry pioneer and a leader, built and scaled a product that redefined how India invested online, that made mutual funds popular, and introduced direct mutual funds to the masses. Built a venture that managed few billions dollars and was possibly valued as much as.

Next day, I had nothing. No titles, No power. No team. No salary, No stocks. Practically made no money from the venture I gave everything to for 3 years to make it a grand success. Founders like me are emotional fools & immature beings who trust easily and take a word as a word, only to realise one day - the world doesn't work the way one thinks it works.

Tried to raise money from venture capital, which I thought would be a easy thing to do but it was not. Almost every VC out there rejected me. Few influential people made raising capital a bit difficult. Many VC & partners who promised term-sheets, stopped responding to emails / chats or just backed out.

All of this happened during peak COVID times. I was staring at failure at the start of my 40s. I had no idea what the future would hold for me. Job was never an option, I am too practical and also much of a straight-talker to survive in a corporate life. I had started up 3 times earlier, and was more or less a failure. Somehow gathered courage to start-up again just because giving up again was never an option.

Times have changed since then!

Today we are a team of ~650+ builders and believers at Raise.

Only thing we care about is building the best consumer experiences across all the products we are building - @DhanHQ @ask_fuzz @Upsurge_club @Stratzy_HQ @FilterCoffeeHQ and few more ventures in insurance, wealth and investing that we are building.

5 years back value of everything was Zero. Today for whatever it means, Raise is a unicorn valued at USD 1.2 Bn. At some point, I was offered good money as some sort of settlement which of course I never took. This is why I say that as founders, some of us are emotional fools who keep taking chances even after losing it all!

Looking back, even after this crazy journey and tons of luck by my side, I am still more of an emotional & introvert founder fool. We are still in our early days of building and are far from where we want to be.

Once again, there's no inspiration or gyan here for anyone. Tu tera dekh le bhai, yahaan mein khud bhagwan ke bharose pe hoon..

I post this just as a reminder to myself - never forget where & how we started from.

More importantly to express my gratitude to all those who stood by me and supported us in my tough times - as co-founders, team members, colleagues, believers, supporters, cheerleaders, well wishers, investors, friends and most importantly as our customers.

Thank you, I wouldn't have made it till here without you 🙏

Ab kya ho raha hai? Dwarka, Dakshinpuri, Rohini, South Delhi – har taraf shortage!
