I introduced a Private Member Bill titled The Asset Tokenisation (Regulation) Bill, 2026 in Parliament.

The Bill is a forward-looking framework to bring legal clarity, transparency and investor protection to the emerging ecosystem of tokenised real-world assets in India.

Key Features of the Bill:

1) It provides legal recognition to asset tokenisation in India.

2) It establishes a statutory framework for issuance, trading, custody and settlement of tokenised real-world assets.

3) Introduction of regulatory oversight and supervision of tokenised asset markets.

4) Ensures investor protection and safeguards market integrity.

5) Aims to maintain financial stability while fostering innovation in digital finance.

In Parliament, I explained why India must put land & property records on BLOCKCHAIN.

Land records in India are in utter chaos. Ordinary citizens are made to run from pillar to post at registrar offices, while dalals and middlemen capture the system. Circle rates are exploited to fuel cash deals, property tax leakages continue, fake documents and encroachments multiply, and disputes over title never end.

The numbers tell the story:
•⁠ ⁠66% of all India’s civil disputes are land disputes.
•⁠ ⁠45% of properties lack a clear title.
•⁠ ⁠48% are already under dispute.
•⁠ ⁠India ranks 133 out of 190 in property registration efficiency.
•⁠ ⁠Even a simple property sale can take 2 to 6 months. When disputes arise, civil courts take 7 years on average to resolve them.
•⁠ ⁠And 6.2 crore property documents are still pending digitisation.

That is why I argued in Parliament for a National Blockchain Property Register. Time stamped, tamper proof, fully transparent. It can make title verification instant, and ensure every sale, mutation and inheritance is recorded cleanly and traceably in realtime.

Countries like Sweden, Georgia and the UAE have shown what is possible. Transactions can finish in minutes, and dispute rates fall sharply.

India must move from chaos to clarity. From a land record system that creates obstacles to one that prevents them.

Say No

Time is life's currency. That’s why you must guard it like your most precious asset.

The best way to do that is by saying ‘No’ more often than you say ‘Yes’.

If you don’t, you’ll always be over-committing.

Michael Seibel on how to create a great startup pitch

In the clip below, former Y Combinator CEO Michael Seibel breaks down the two types of pitches every startup founder needs: a 30-second elevator pitch and a two-minute pitch for investors.

“A lot of people practice 10-minute, 30-minute, hour-long, pitches. I think that’s all garbage. I think you can get all of your points across in two minutes. And one thing I like to tell founders is that the more you talk, the more you have an opportunity to say something that people don’t like.”

30-Second Elevator Pitch:

You should be able to explain to anyone you come across what your company does in 30 seconds.

This should be three sentences:

1. What does your company do? Assume the person you’re talking to knows nothing. This should be a 1-sentence explanation that your mom or dad can understand (e.g. “We’re Airbnb and we allow you to rent out the extra room in your house” NOT “We’re Airbnb and we’re a marketplace for space”).

2. How big is the market? Do a couple hours of research so that you can give investors a rough approximation of the size of the market you’re in (e.g. Airbnb might give the size of online hotel booking market)

3. How much traction do you have? Ideally you can say something like: “We launched in January and we’re growing 30% month over month. We have $ X sales and Y users.” If you’re pre-launch, you need to convince investors that you’re moving quickly (e.g. “the team came together in January. By March we launched our beta. By April we launched our product.”).

Two-Minute Pitch:

This pitch is for people you’re actually trying to convince of something (e.g. investors, potential employees, etc.). You basically want to simply explain what you do and then ask for money.

There are 5 key components:

1. Clear 30 second pitch (everything mentioned above)

2. Unique insight—what do the biggest players in your market not understand? This should be 2 sentences.

3. How do you make money?

4. Team. If your team has done something that has made investors money, you should mention that (e.g. “we’re the founders of PayPal”). If you haven’t, don’t go on about the awards you’ve won or PhDs you hold. What investors want to hear is: how many founders? (hopefully 2-4) how many of the founders are technical? (hopefully 50% or more engineers) How long have you known each other? (ideally you’ve known each other either personally or professionally for at least 6 months) Are you all full-time?

5. The Big Ask ($$$). You have to know what you’re talking about when you ask for money. Are you raising on a convertible note or a SAFE? What’s the cap of the SAFE? How much money are you raising? What’s the minimum check size? If you don’t know these things, investors won’t think you’re serious or that you haven’t done your homework.

Q: What’s your favorite management insight?

In the clip below, Keith Rabois shares the 'One Person, One Problem' framework he learned from Peter Thiel.

At PayPal, Peter gave everyone at the company exactly one thing to prioritize at a time.

Naturally, everyone rebelled—bright people want to do multiple things and it is almost insulting to be asked to do just one thing.

But Peter enforced this pretty strictly.

He would say:

“I will not talk to you about anything else except for this one thing that I’ve assigned to you. I don’t want to hear about how great you're doing in this other area. Just focus until you conquer this one problem.”

As Keith explains:

“The insight behind this is that most people will solve problems that they understand how to solve. Roughly speaking, they will solve B+ problems instead of A+ problems.

A+ problems are high-impact problems for your company but they’re difficult—you don’t wake up in the morning with a solution to them, so you tend to procrastinate…

If you have a company that’s always solving B+ problems, you’ll grow and add value, but you’ll never create the breakthrough idea because no one is spending 100% of their time banging their head against the wall every day until they solve it.”
