In 10 years, most white collar jobs will morph into one or more of:

1. Prepping / labeling data for AI
2. Crafting AI inputs / prompts
3. Reviewing AI outputs

The skills needed to succeed in this world will be (a) editorial (the ability to critically evaluate and refine information), (b) synthesis (making connections and deriving insights from model outputs and insights), (c) strategic (understanding the broader context and implications), and (d) communication (effectively collaborating with both humans and AI systems).

@HardeepSPuri An absolute honour @HardeepSPuri sir, to receive the award and listening to your vision towards Viksit Bharat and growing efforts towards sustainable energy leadership from India.

Interacted with a distinguished gathering of wealth creators at the Family Office Excellence Awards which celebrate the trailblazers of wealth stewardship and impact in India.
The increasing influence of family offices in driving economic transformation can be gauged by the fact that the number of family offices has grown to over 300 from just 45 in 2018.

Family offices play an important role in fostering a supportive environment. From funding startups that create jobs to supporting large-scale infrastructure projects, and taking up philanthropic initiatives, family offices are driving innovation and dynamism in our economy. Since 2014, they have backed over 200 startups, focusing on areas like fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise technology - sectors critical to India’s innovation journey under the leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji.

We are working to ensure ease of doing business through streamlined regulations, simplified tax structures, and policies that encourage long-term investments. Additionally, India envisions family offices as bridges for global collaboration, bringing in foreign investment & fostering cross-border partnerships to position India as a global powerhouse.

Today, India is moving towards a stronger knowledge economy. In the last five years, Indian entrepreneurs filed more than 1,400 patents in deeptech.

India now has the third-largest start-up ecosystem in the world, with more than 1 lakh start-ups and nearly 120 unicorns, and is also emerging as the world’s largest source of affordable intellectual power.

We have over 1,700 Global Capability Centres currently operating in India employing more than 2 million highly skilled Indian professionals. As per a report by Nasscom, the Indian GCC industry is set to touch $100 billion by 2030 and generate over 2.5 million jobs.

Truly remarkable feat to achieve for Indian EV forces, and this is just the major effects in last 4-5 years!
After Ola Electric and Ather, next line is building with more tech and supply chain issues getting sorted. @log9materials @batxenergies_

[VCGuy @arnavghatage]

India is not far from a thriving EV Ecosystem.

⚡️Start-ups today are truly tackling challenges head-on with India-centric solutions:

- We don't have the charging infrastructure:
(1). Battery Smart and ChargeUp building India’s largest battery swapping network, enabling swaps in <2 minutes.
(2). Hopcharge offering fast, doorstep charging.

- We have a Lithium scarcity:
(1). BatX Energies, Metastable Materials, Lohum are recycling lithium-ion batteries.
(2). Log9 Materials built India’s first lithium-ion cell manufacturing facility, making batteries for Indian conditions.

- Chargers are slow: Exponent Energy building charges which fully charge EVs in <15 minutes, with 3,000-cycle warranties.

- EV's are expensive: Ohm Mobility, Revfin, and VidyutTech are making EV financing easier, lowering upfront costs.

- Can't travel long distances in an EV:
(1). FreshBus and NueGo offering intercity EV bus travel.
(2). BluSmart and Evera lead in EV cabs.

- Can't find a charger: ElectricPe and Bolt Earth can help.

⏩We might be playing catch-up, but our capacity to leap forward is immense.

Speed of execution is the moat inside which live all other moats. Speed is your best strategy. Speed is your strongest weapon. Speed has THE highest correlation to mammoth outcomes. Those who conflate speed w/ 'thoughtlessness' haven't seen world class execution @ speed. E.g.:

[Bhavish Sood @bhavishsood]

Learnings from @WalkMeInc acquisition by @SAP 1. apps are still complex for most users 2. blended automation will be built by agent/RPA companies and not by DAP providers. 3. GTM scale is run time of an enterprise app just like they focussed on SAP ecosystem.

[Jesse Pujji @jspujji]

I raised $3.5M in seed funding for Kahani.

After our first investor meeting, my investors said: “That was the best post-investment first meeting we’ve ever had.”

My COO built an awesome Notion template which helped us crush it.

Want it?

RT + Reply “Gateway X” and I’ll DM.

Indian startup investors finally discover that Syndicate leads are just content creators with a mailing list and with skin-in-the-game less than bankers.
