I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

[Claude @claudeai]

We're extending access to Claude Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.

We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

Some personal news. After nearly 7 years leading WhatsApp, I'm excited to share who will take over the responsibility of delivering simple, reliable, and private messaging for the world. WhatsApp is in the strongest position it's ever been — and that felt like the right moment to step back.

I'm so proud of what we have built. We scaled end-to-end encrypted messaging to more than three billion people. We brought it to group chats, companion devices, new surfaces — and defended people's right to a private conversation across the globe.

Kunal Shah will be WhatsApp's next leader. He built CRED into one of India's most important technology companies and has a deep care for the people that rely on our apps. I’m very excited to see what Kunal and our amazing team continue to build.

Thank you for the privilege of serving people who rely on WhatsApp everywhere. 🙏

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

It’s been a minute.

2015–2018
- Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing.
- Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital.
- Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time.

2019–2025
- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.
2026
- First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is)
- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.
- Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback.

Today

CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.

Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.

Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.

As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.

Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.

While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.

Onwards.

If you used to work at Zomato, whether you chose to move on, or I was the one who asked you to leave, this is for you.

I know that for many of you, Zomato didn't have the environment, or the leadership you needed at the time. But I know for sure, that you loved being at Zomato, and it is quite possible that you never felt like home anywhere else since you left.

We have over four hundred people at Eternal today in their second or third stints. Many of them are doing their best work now. Maybe because they've grown, but also because the company has grown. We are more organised, a little less chaotic, and hopefully, I've learned a few things along the way too.

If you haven't reached out because you think the door is closed, or because you think I'm holding onto the past, I'm not. I want you back.

There is so much to build at Eternal. We are today, a family of companies. Zomato, Blinkit Quick-Commerce, Blinkit Ambulances, District, Hyperpure, Nugget, and Feeding India. We need people who already know what good looks like here, and who care enough to fight for it. There is no better person for that than someone who has been here, left, grown, and wants to come back.

You might say that Eternal is not going to be the same, because I am not the CEO anymore. But ask yourself a question. Did titles ever matter at Eternal? I am still very much here, and I'd love for you to be a part of this next phase of Eternal.

If you feel like you have unfinished business here, please don't overthink it. Write to me at [email protected]. The Gurgaon pollution is still a bug, but being at Eternal is the feature. Let's talk and find a role that fits your life as it is today.

Sir , your name is Prafulla Desai.
You are a 2019-batch IAS officer , Rank 532 , selected under the EWS category and also listed as OH (Orthopedically Handicapped).

But now the social media doctors have arrived.
One is sharing your cycling photos,
another your tennis shots,
and someone else your rafting pictures ,
and declaring proudly 👇
Look , he got selected and suddenly he’s fully cured!

So basically ,
not doctors ,
not treatment ,
UPSC did the miracle.

In this age of fake news ,
everyone thinks they are a medical expert.
No reports checked.
No facts verified.
Just one photo and a final verdict.

Now , Sir , people expect you to come forward
and shut up these WhatsApp University graduates ,
so they finally understand that
having a disability doesn’t mean being stuck in bed and becoming an officer doesn’t mean
you get a magical medical upgrade.

Indian accountants struggling to earn even 50k INR per month, this is for you. Share this with your accountant friends this may just change their life.

There are 1M+ Shopify stores and hundreds of thousands of Amazon sellers who are OPEN to hiring remote bookkeepers for $1000/month.

Most Indian accountants never apply because they think “US accounting is too hard”.

It’s not.

Here’s what you really need to know over and above basic US accounting:

1. QuickBooks Online mastery
Every e-com brand uses QBO. If you can set up COA + automate bank rules → you’re already ahead.

2. Amazon & Shopify settlement accounting
This is the REAL skill.
Know how to decode payouts, fees, refunds, chargebacks → clients worship you.

3. A2X automation
The holy grail.
Automate revenue + COGS.
Most accountants have never even logged in to A2X.

4. Payment gateway reconciliation
Stripe, PayPal, Payoneer, Razorpay.
Clean this → you become indispensable.

5. Inventory accounting (FBA + DTC)
FIFO, landed cost, lost/damaged stock, SKU-wise margins.
This separates juniors from “mini CFOs”.

6. US sales tax mapping
Not filing.
Just knowing when sellers collect vs when platforms pay.
Avoids 90% errors.

7. Multi-channel reconciliation
Amazon + Shopify + PayPal + Stripe
→ Don’t double count revenue.
→ Map every cent.

8.Month-end closing for e-com
The single most requested service.
If you can deliver clean P&L + balance sheet every month → $800–$2500 per client, easy.

9.KPI reporting
Contribution margin
LTV
Blended ROAS
SKU profitability
This is what founders care about more than accounting.

10.Client communication
Weekly Loom videos.
Slack updates.
ClickUp tasks.
Most freelancers lose clients because they can’t communicate, not because they can’t do the work.

If you learn these 10 skills, you can serve ANY e-commerce business in the US. They have a serious shortage and its a lifetime opportunity for Indian accountants.

This is REAL skill arbitrage.
Dollar income.
Remote work.
Massive shortage of talent.

And it’s still early.

Sharing a nice interesting article on Lipid Profile 👌💪
Very nicely explained 👌

What is Lipid Profile?

A famous doctor explained lipid profile in a very good way and shared a beautiful story explaining it in a unique way.

Imagine that our body is a small town.
The biggest troublemaker in this town is - *Cholesterol.*
He also has some companions.

His main partner in crime is - Triglyceride.

Their job is to roam in the streets, create chaos and block the roads.

The *heart* is the city center of this town.
All the roads lead to the heart.
When these troublemakers start increasing, you can imagine what happens.

They try to obstruct the work of the heart.
But our body-town also has a police force deployed - *HDL* (High Density Lipoprotein - Good policeman)

The good policeman catches these troublemakers and puts them in jail *(liver)*.
Then the liver removes them from the body - through our drainage system.

But
there is also a bad cop - *LDL* who is hungry for power.

LDL takes these miscreants out of jail and lets them back on the streets.

When the good cop *HDL* goes down, the whole town goes haywire.

Who would want to live in such a town?

Do you want to reduce these miscreants and increase the number of good policemen?

Start *Walking*!

With every step *HDL* will increase, and miscreants like *Cholesterol, Triglyceride* and *LDL* will decrease.

Your body (town) will come alive again.

Your heart – the city center – will be protected from the blockage *(heart block)* of miscreants.

And when the heart is healthy, you will also be healthy.

So whenever you get a chance – start walking!

Stay healthy...
and *Wishing you good health*
*This article tells you the best way to increase HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce LDL (bad cholesterol)
