Before Kunal Shah started CRED, Meta (then Facebook) had tried to hire him as WhatsApp India CEO.
They already knew him.
I've heard this from multiple folks in the founders community, in terms of Kunal telling them this. I'm sharing this because I'm seeing a lot of speculative commentary about how Meta might have learned about Kunal... all of that is way off.
I guess this time the opportunity was big enough, the role was big enough: it's a major step up into a whole new world, and most importantly, Kunal leaves CRED in extremely able, capable and trusted hands, with Miten at the helm.
I know he's interim CEO, but I'd love to see Miten take CRED to an IPO. He'll be amazing as a listed company CEO, and I think he's been ready for it for a while.
He's the kind of guy who will see a listing as an opportunity to build it bigger, use a corpus to invest in new companies to open up new opportunities, rather than merely give investors an exit. At least that's how I see it.
Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
This principal needs to be sacked. Irrespective of what caused her to speak the way she has. Hope the X community here take this up seriously so authorities take action if this is not a fake video
Filing a complaint against that brave woman in Worli is pure arrogance.A citizen stood up and asked questions to Minister Girish Mahajan while his party’s selfish protest choked Mumbai traffic for hours.
Instead of apologising, they’re harassing her?Citizens are the real owners of this country — we have every right to ask questions. Politicians are public servants and must respect citizens’ comfort, not cause trouble to them.
Stop this shameless bullying!

A PROTEST IS PROTESTED.
WHEN POLITICS BLOCKS ROADS, PUBLIC PATIENCE SNAPS.
A Worli commuter, stuck in a traffic jam for over an hour, storms into BJP-led Mahayuti’s Mahila Jan Akrosh rally furious over missing her child’s pickup.
The protest, targeting opposition over Women’s Reservation, brought roads to a standstill. She confronts organisers, calls out Minister Girish Mahajan, demands rallies be moved off public roads.
I covered the IC 814 hijack & the release of dreaded terrorists who went to to wreck havoc across the world as the part of the Special Investigative Bureau of the @IndianExpress I covered the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai & the hapless reaction of the govt. #Dhurandhar is absolutely spot on in its portrayal of the horrific events. I was ashamed as an Indian that we caved in to Pakistan & released terrorists. Go & watch it. Pakistan is a terror state & a movie being jingoistic about it shouldn’t bother any Indian
@_CreatingWealth People who take public transport already walk, navigate encroached pavements, and wait for buses for the first or last mile. They are actually doing us a favour, and we need to make the process hassle-free.
CONCERN FOR GURUGRAM
Scattered #litter. Dumped #drains. Rain-churned #waste. And the stink that won’t go away. From Golf Course Road to Old #Gurugram, the city is choking on filth. Residents call it a civic #emergency. Officials call it “work in progress.” Is Gurugram #collapsing under its own apathy? @VipulGoelBJP@MunCorpGurugram

A great manager can turn good people into stars who are high-performing, energetic, loyal, long-tenure.
A bad manager? They can take talented, driven folks and drain them into sluggish, excuse-making underperformers.
People don’t fail. Poor leadership does.
Lead better. Or lose your best.
1% control the world.
4% are their loudspeakers.
90% are asleep.
5% are awake- trying to shake the rest.
But the 1% use the 4% to silence the 5%,
so the 90% never wake up.
Just 8 years old.
