The maker energy is here. The talent is here. What was missing? A serious community.

For serious hardware folks across India.

@0xlelouch_ there are quite a bunch of good solutions today that support high cardinality at the same costs. datadog is actually not a gold standard for that particular usecase anymore.
But Sundar took over as the founders stepped back from a company that had missed social and was losing cloud to Amazon and was scrambling for android device challenges.
Not a failing company. A company that had hit the ceiling of its founding DNA.
That’s the point. Boards reach outside their comfort zone when the existing playbook stops working.
@tomri33le@deedydas Microsoft: $58 in 2000. $33 in 2013.
44% stock loss. 13 years. Even with dividends reinvested .. still down 23%.
When Ballmer quit, stock jumped 9% in one day.
ANET, MU, ENPH, GOOGL, MSFT, PANW, ADBE, DOCN, NTAP, IBM
Beautiful chart. Terrible conclusion.
These companies outperformed because they were broken when the new CEO walked in. Low base + aligned incentives + someone who grew up knowing they couldn’t afford to fail.
That’s not an India alpha. That’s a desperation alpha.
@PaulcHealth@deedydas Racism would be saying they succeeded because they’re Indian.
I’m saying they got the opportunity because the board ran out of safe options.
Big difference.
Google had lost search relevance narrative to Facebook. Microsoft was declared dead by every analyst in 2013. Adobe was bleeding to piracy.
Every one of them had a specific crisis that made the board finally consider someone outside the old boys network.
Noticing that pattern isn’t racism. Pretending it doesn’t exist is.
