[Vida Vidyangi Patil @Vidyangi520]

The best startups aren’t built by chasing luck—@MohitAron followed systems relentlessly to build two $10B+ companies. Most hiring is broken: don’t trust resumes or “chemistry”—use detailed scorecards and reference checks. Don’t hire VP Sales too early; founders should sell first. AI won’t magically take your job—it’s just a tool, you still need original thinking. Chasing what’s “viable” is overrated—build the minimum lovable product. Growth? It’s always messier than a straight line, embrace the chaos! #Startups #ContrarianWisdompaste

[Vida Vidyangi Patil @Vidyangi520]

@mohitaron's fomula System over people: Outcomes depend more on systems and processes than on individuals; rely on robust frameworks and regular assessments.

Regular talent assessment: Quarterly reviews to rate team performance, ensuring only high performers remain.

Hiring advice: Use detailed hiring scorecards, focus on both pre-interview credentials and in-person skills, supplement with thorough reference checks on clear criteria.

Prefer building junior teams: In India, tendency to promote via job hopping weakens senior talent pool—better to grow and train juniors internally.
