@immad I love it, especially for rentals.

Why isn’t a lower tier available? Like 1x / quarter. I’m not even sure if 1-2 visits per 4 weeks is doable. It’s costly at the current cadence.

@petergyang Took a few things:
1) I had tailbone/sciatica, I was XL size w/o any muscle.
2) Existing solutions from seat cushions to exercise didn’t work for me cuz I couldn’t sit..suffered for 5 years.
3) I designed my own XL lower back cushion, which enabled me to sit, gym & strengthen

@debarghya_das How to fix this in the US for Indian parents has been on my mind for a while. I’ve thought about - running buses from Manteca to Fremont, creating a community in Bay Area

In some cases IMHO, this is a bottleneck preventing Indian parents to explore entrepreneurial US dreams.

@pitdesi Those are my re-runs every week! I’ve also liked Rush, not a business biopic but I could relate with two ways to win they highlighted: Process and Talent.

@vaibhavbetter This could partly be due to personas who enter VCs. I would bet founder turned VCs are more likely to take contrarian bets vs safe bets. MBB/IB types who haven’t risked anything beyond PowerPoint narratives are more likely to take safer bets. Operators fall in between.

@akhileshdhawan Looking forward to hosting you!

My @BofA_Help wait is 46 mins to dispute simple credit card charges!

I woke up at 7:30 AM in the morning to do this because they were closed on weekend & then got bounced between departments.

On transfer for last 45+ mins! How long is your customer care wait?

@sajithpai I built in this space and just exited the company. I’d love access to the WIP!

@drkahaynes I am so sorry to hear about your mom :( I hope you and your family feel better soon

@bznotes In theory yes, in reality it’s like selling iPhones to 🦕..very hard. Also, unions come after you if you start automating manual and reducing FTE.

[Karan Syal @karansyal]

@NeilThanedar There is a whole industry around preying founders! Writing about it at the moment..hope to finish in a few weeks.

@bznotes @zareens_CA Tried omelette..it’s great! I am an egg-terrian.

@NeilThanedar There is untapped opportunity on the science side. ~20% Scientists are 1st gen immigrants and most of them face immigration challenges before they can become CEOs or even startup. + Tier 2 universities it’s even harder to spin off cuz tech transfer has too many car salesmen.

@pitdesi I always imagined this in future with @kyunbit’s and @ixana.AIs demo!

@ashugarg China and its leaders need to watch @sharktankindia season-2 to get a new perspective on India and problems being solved on the ground!

[Karan Syal @karansyal]

@ashubihani Bro his flight is at 4 AM, what else do you think is safe in Delhi at night except a crowded cricket venue?! 😁

[Karan Syal @karansyal]

@itiswyatt @NeilThanedar DM-ed you.
