can think without it.

AI is a lever. The sharper the person pulling it, the more powerful it becomes.

[hisaming @hisaming]

Social media quietly ruined our attention spans. We noticed too late.

AI is doing the same thing to our ability to think (the research is already there)

The unfair advantage will be with people who use AI heavily but still read hard books, wrestle with hard problems, and..

@prajdabre Hey Raj,

I am building @entri_app - would love to explore similar synergies for vernacular test prep in India (~50 million aspirants)!

Learning platform Entri has partnered with Udemy to provide vernacular-language upskilling opportunities to 400 million Indian learners.

Proud early believers, and even prouder today!

@entri_app partnering with @udemy is a big step towards something we’ve believed in from day one: India’s next wave of learners will come from native-language audiences, not just metro English-first users.

From the very beginning, Entri has been obsessed with one thing: making career outcomes real for India’s 400M+ vernacular learners. This partnership brings together Udemy’s global content engine with Entri’s deep local execution, unlocking access, relevance, and scale.

Huge credit to @hisaming for building with clarity and conviction, and for staying focused on outcomes over optics. Excited for what’s ahead!

Meesho's AOV is roughly between 220 and 270 rupees.

Unpopular opinion: I hope that the AOV would settle at the lower end (around 220 rupees). For Meesho's specific audience, frequency is more important than basket size.

Unlike premium shoppers who consolidate 5 to 10 items into a single "basket," Meesho's customers tend to buy single items as needed. Lowering the AOV reduces the "friction of buying," with the goal of encouraging users to shop 15 to 20 times a year rather than making fewer, larger purchases.

Because the AOV is so low, Meesho cannot rely on standard commissions. This necessitated a shift to a "zero commission" model where they monetize through seller advertising instead.

I really enjoyed talking to Utsav and Dhruv about our journey with Meesho and its evolution to what it is today. I still can't believe 78% of Meesho's retail subscription was filled in the first hour!

Cooking something big up with @hisaming. Watch this space!

How do you make learning accessible for 400 million people? @entri_app, a @GoogleStartups Accelerator alumni, uses Gemini's AI capabilities to create a vernacular learning platform that's boosting employability. Watch their full story here: https://t.co/3b4pn4akY9

One app I really miss: @Detour

It was an immersive podcast experience that blended storytelling with location- you’d walk through a city while an amazing narrator (like Ken Burns) guided you, syncing their voice to your exact position... you could do them at your own speed, the audio would work even if you walked faster.

It felt like being inside a documentary, with local voices, hidden histories, and personal anecdotes unfolding as you moved.

It was founded by @andrewmason (post-Groupon)... at the time (10 yrs ago) it was one of the best demos I’d ever gotten. Intimate, place-based audio.

I think it probably struggled as a business (not sure how you acquire customers for a travel app like this), was acquired and shut down by Bose in 2018. No replacement has captured that magic for me since.

They spun out the tech that they used to build it, and it became @descript (audio & video editor)

You could make a better version today with AI, personalized to the user.

This is a huge win not just for @Entri_app, but for the entire Indian edtech ecosystem.

Democratizing education in local languages is key to unlocking India's potential.

Proud to be on this journey with you @hisaming!

@garrytan Disagree. Liquidity+Frugality leads to the best outcomes.

As we wrap up our exploration of @entri_app, let's take a moment to appreciate the true essence of impact.

Beyond the impressive numbers & widespread reach, the most profound success is found in the individual stories of transformation.

Here's one such tale that touches the ♥️

🧵(1/8) Language has been a common barrier to entry for many seeking jobs in Urban India. With the rise of vernacular education, this gap can now be seen reducing considerably.
