Very candid discussion. Someone working as a chief AI scientist in one of the big wealth tech companies of the world told me that he thinks there will either be riots or universal basic income. What should we teach our kids to enable them?

Million $ question - Why Aequs entered the consumer segment?
Management explained that Aequs entered the consumer segment around 2016–17 as a natural adjacency to aerospace. The initial entry point, toys, had similar compliance and regulatory rigor, and global customers actively preferred manufacturers with an aerospace-quality background. This allowed Aequs to scale a new vertical without diluting aerospace focus, while leveraging its high-precision engineering capabilities.
Over time, these learnings were extended to consumer electronics, a much larger market, where aerospace-honed capabilities could be deployed at far higher volumes. In essence, what took 15 years to build in aerospace can be scaled within a few years in consumer, making the segment both complementary and growth-accelerative for the company.
Why margins got impacted in Consumer side?
Management clarified that the Q3 margin pressure in the consumer segment is a result of being in an early investment and ramp-up phase, particularly in consumer electronics.
Over the last 24 months, Aequs has made significant upfront capacity investments, most of which have only recently come online.
With current utilization at ~35%, EBITDA appears temporarily depressed. However, utilization is expected to improve sequentially, leading to operating leverage and margin recovery.
Management emphasized that consumer electronics at Aequs is a demand-led, capacity-built business, not an order-book–driven one.
Capacity is created in partnership with customers based on their demand projections, and the entire installed capacity is already committed.
As a result, demand visibility is not a concern; revenue growth will primarily track the pace of operational ramp-up and utilization.
As utilization improves quarter by quarter, revenues are expected to ramp meaningfully, driving operating leverage and margin normalization

1st time I have seen this video!!
It really is the only trading video needed out of the million trading videos out there. If you can do this 100% of the time you will beat 99% of the traders.
Tim @timothysykes goes on for 19 minutes repeating the one rule needed. I loaded up the headphones and listened to the whole thing during my walk. He must of said it 1000 times or more! Each time in a different expression and tone and with humor.
I recommend watching the entire video and ingrain into you head!!

When I picked up a Swiggy delivery bag on the first day, it was so heavy that my eyes filled with tears. A boy who used to get 8-10k rupees as pocket money in Class 10 had to work as a delivery boy during graduation just to earn the same amount.
Those days were extremely difficult. I cried many times while delivering orders. In winters my teeth used to shiver, in the rains I delivered even with fever, and I survived the harsh Delhi heat as well.
For eight years, I never spoke publicly about this journey because I never wanted sympathy or a zero to hero story. I was waiting for the right time.
I always wanted people to connect with my work, not with my struggle. And when people finally connected with my work, after eight years, I shared my journey for the first time on @JoshTalksLive
Those two years taught me the real value of money. They taught me how to stay grounded, how to respect everyone, how to keep ego aside, and how every human being is equal. I learned that people should never be judged by money.
@upstox was my first broker when I started trading. At that time, I never imagined that one day the same broker would shoot a documentary on my life. But it happened last year. During the shoot, I genuinely felt that I had not done anything extraordinary yet, and still so many good things were happening. It felt magical. It was the best day of my professional life.
That day, I missed my father deeply and I cried on the set. Whatever I am today is because of him.
The journey is still long. But one thing I want to tell you is this. Survival and growth both have to happen together. No matter how bad the situation is, your mindset has to remain strong. Do not run behind shortcuts. Work hard, but work with honesty.
When you do your work honestly, the world may think it looks easy, but that ease comes from years of discipline, sacrifice, and integrity. One day, the same world will stand up and salute you.
Thank you to everyone who believed in me and supported me through all these tough years.
