Why can’t people be yum-yum like the dosas?

My mom needed surgery, and our U.S. options were around $45,000. We were actually looking at South Korea before my doctor friend recommended India. We came here and paid about $4,500 at a top hospital, including the stay. The quality of care was honestly amazing. If India can fix the travel, logistics, and safety side of medical tourism, the opportunity is massive.

Love this. This is exactly what making an impact means :)

Been exactly a year since we launched water purifiers

We now have TDS data from tens of thousands of Atomberg water purifiers installed across the country

And we combined that with publicly available data from different government sources like central pollution control board, jal jeevan mission and central ground water board

And built a free tool where you can enter your pincode and check your water quality- TDS levels, TDS variance, chemicals present etc

The beauty of time is that it changes
Neither CSK nor players ever did such cheap gestures despite owning every team & winning 5 titles but when CSK was down, every team is stooping low indicating how hardly we fucked you for years!

[mama kutty @_ozy_mandias]

The hate toward Chennai, CSK, and Kollywood is often just a masked hatred, deep rooted discomfort with Tamils having their own identity & culture, something they can never truly accept.

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:

Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.

Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.

You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.

Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.

Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.

As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.

Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu

Dear Vidyadhar💛

Reading this truly moved us.

We have always believed cricket is more than a game, but when you put it into words like this, it reminds us why we do what we do. Every cheer, every message, every packed stand carries stories we may never fully know. Yet we feel that energy.

If our wins give even a moment of relief, if our fight gives someone hope, if our jersey feels like home to someone who needs one, that means everything to us.

When we step onto the field, and when you stand with us, we become one family.

Thank you for trusting us with your emotions. Thank you for making us a part of your lives.

We play for you. Always. 💛🦁

Thoroughly enjoyed @Gobinath_C 's podcast with @AravSrinivas. Mind blown by Aravind's thought process, and so glad to hear someone reiterate the importance of staying curious - something I've always believed in.

Huge thanks for this content :)

Someone on Reddit asked what does Zerodha do differently, how are we profitable, why don't IPO etc. This is what I replied:

Hmmm... so you forget that we have spent 15 years getting here. And maybe another 10 years, before Zerodha, I was involved in the markets in some form. So, 25 years in all. Things in business compound over time, especially if you like or love what you are doing and if you are lucky to be in the right place and time.

When we started Zerodha, we started off as a partnership firm because the exchange deposit requirement was lower, Rs 90 lks compared to Rs 1.5 cr. The start was mainly enabled thanks to the NSE Now trading platform, which came free of cost if you were an NSE broker. For the backoffice piece, sending contract notes, maintaining ledgers, etc., we signed up with a vendor who basically gave it at almost 0 cost. This was provided that we tested out his platform.

So the money we have spent on Zerodha is maybe ~Rs 10lks, and that is all the money that has gone into the business till date. Rs 2.5 lks for our website, Rs 5lks for our office interiors (we had an office before), and Rs 2.5 lks for miscellaneous. So, we came from an extremely middle-class background and had no rich uncles. 😀 Dad was a bank manager, and Mom taught Veena.

Our rise coincides with India's rise. We were present at the right place and time with the right products and initiatives. Any gyan any founder gives, eventually comes down to getting timing right, and this has got everything to do with luck. 😀 I was just reading about Jensen Huang from Nvidia, he survived in the business for 30 years until he hit the right place and time. For a long time, people might have questioned what he was doing until very recently. 😀

Now that there is no pressure to give any exit to any investor, we can continue doing what is right for the customer, sometimes even at the cost of the business. For example, our no spam or no tracking policy. I believe that the philosophy with which we run Zerodha will be our real moat as a business. It is very tough to stick to it as a public company.
