Curious about startups, finance, and tech

@DrinkPrime @vijendereddy1 Worst support. Paid ₹1,429 for a 3-month plan but got a lower-tier machine (₹399/month) as the original wasn’t compatible. Chasing a refund/adjustment for 2 months. No invoices provided, and support can’t even calculate billing months correctly.

Predictions on the impact of the H1B order on India:

- Migration to the US will slowdown even faster
- India's Tier 1 consumer market will become even more attractive
- Big IT companies will deploy $50B+ of cash to innovate rather than arbitrage
- High-quality startup teams will increase
- Civic sense will improve in metros
- Remittances will drop
- Real estate prices in metros will go up
- Educational costs in premier schools will rise even faster
- Obsession with moving to the US will drop

I think this will be a huge net positive for India

Wow, didn't expect US to slap a 100k PER YEAR fee on H1B. I was in US for 15 years on H1B, that would have meant a $1.5M fee paid to the gov. While I was working on semicon in US (a critical area, not IT) my salary was <$100k. No way AMD would have hired me. I published papers, patents but many of my colleagues were far more prolific in their research and >50% were immigrants. Same is true in bio, space, robotics outside of high paying cities & well funded startups and big tech. This will:
1) advantage big tech and they'll concentrate talent and power over others

2) lead to higher "return to home country" in short term not just for the average IT worker but many highly skilled PhD sorts; India needs to be ready to give them a career or they move to Australia, UK, etc, or worse, lead unhappy careers. This is really tricky as most countries are pushing back on foreign workers.

3) full outsourcing of research functions to countries like India. 20-30% of US semicon talent already exists in India.

4) longer term fewer student applicants to US outside of the really hopeful ones who feel like they'll have a good shot of being highly desired in the H1B market in US.

The second/third order affects will be pretty complicated.

You don’t have clarity because you fill every quiet moment with noise, scrolling, and distractions. Your brain has limits, save that space for what actually matters.

@paraschopra Sir, I know I’m late to the post but any chance I can still make it?

[Viraj Sheth @viraj_sheth]

recently discovered that my niece’s school fees for 1 year is equal to my entire year of schooling.

she studies in a private school, so did I.

and I didn’t even study in state board.

3 Lacs for a year of junior schooling is ridiculous.

someone needs to disrupt this.

[Viraj Sheth @viraj_sheth]

Absolute fucking cowards, man.

Expect nothing but the strictest action from the govt.

The only acceptable response is to kill these cockroaches. Revenge must be exacted.

[Rajvi @rajvishah30]

Can someone tell me that after the Pahalgam attack today, what can I, as a civilian, realistically do to help?

[Deepak Shenoy @deepakshenoy]

Markets are basically like people who have taken cocaine. Overreact to everything, and have short term memories.

Nike makes expensive shoes. It makes half of them in Vietnam, in a subsidiary that effectively costs them a fraction of what they sell these shoes at. A thread:

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

Unless you're super-careful, you'll end up internalizing society's expectations as your own expectations.

And when that happens, you'll be unhappy and full of regret.
