After seeing Kunal Shah leave CRED for WhatsApp, I had a few realizations from my entrepreneurial journey.

It's very important to know why you are starting a company, and a company is just a part of your "why" as a whole for your life. Starting a company is a tool for you to achieve your why.

Reason 1: Starting a company to make money. Here, your "why" is to make money. If you can make more money in a job, go for it. But if you see a good business you can build, go build it. Your filter for that decision should be, "Where can I make the most amount of money for myself?" Also, remember, a company's revenue is not your money.

Reason 2: Starting a company to solve a problem. Here, your "why" is to solve the problem, not to make a lot of money. You started a company to solve the problem that you wanted to solve. I will give an example here of @demishassabis. He sold DeepMind to Google, and his explanation was that he started DeepMind to solve the AGI problem. In the middle of it, he found himself lost in fundraising and managing the company. It made him go further and further away from focusing on solving the problem, so he sold DeepMind to Google so Google could take care of the finances and the management, and he could go and work on solving the problem. If you are a founder who started a company for this reason, it is okay for you to take up a job in an existing company that is already working to solve the problem. Starting a company is not always the right move to make here.

Reason 3: Starting a company for status. This is probably the worst reason to start a company. Don't do it. Get your status from other things in life. Even if you start it, you will be focusing more on becoming the "IT"/"Famous" company than focusing on the business side. Most founders who do this fail the most.

People don't recognize this, but it's better to do a job than to stay stuck in a bad business. Business is hard, and if the pain is not worth it, why are you spending time on it? Start something new and better with what you know now, or get a job to learn and earn faster.

I have seen my own companies that I started, and the companies started by people I know. Many failed after 2 years because starting a company is more about things you don't control. When you are new to this, you ignore them and think that if you work hard enough, you will become successful.

What you work on is very important. You are grinding to build your $10k agency day and night, while your friend built a tool that helps solve a profitable problem for other businesses and made a recurring business from it with one-third of the work you do, and he makes more than you.

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

Banning social media for teenagers only puts them in greater danger.

Teens are forced to switch to VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content.

We’ve seen this before. When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs.

When Apple MacBooks already have a built in Speech to Text, Why should someone use WisprType?

Can your Speech to Text do this?

WisprType's Smart Typing understands you application level context and based on that it understands your "Intension" rather than "Words".

Because, When you want to speak at the speed of your thoughts, "Intension" matters rather than "Words". So Intension >>> Words 🔥

WisprType is a Free alternative to @WisprFlow & @superwhisper built for Apple Silicon ❤️

Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday.

For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.

For years, there’s been something about Zomato that made me uneasy.

We made eating out and ordering in easier than ever, but we never really helped people truly eat better. Yes, you could find a salad or a smoothie bowl, but the truth is, if you wanted to eat genuinely nourishing food, Zomato didn’t make it easy.

That weighed on me, because when we say our mission is “better food for more people”, the “better” has to mean something deeper.

Today, we’ve taken one of the biggest steps in fixing that blind spot. We’re launching Healthy Mode on Zomato.

Every dish in this mode now comes with a Healthy Score—from Low to Super—based on what really counts for your health: protein, complex carbs, fibre, and micronutrients, and not just calories. Behind the scenes it’s AI and restaurant data doing the heavy lifting, but what you’ll see is simple: a clear explanation of what makes a dish healthy, and why.

This is not your run of the mill “healthy mode” for beginners. We have kept the bar very high, that professional athletes can rely on healthy mode to find food that works for them.

This is personal for me. I’ve carried the guilt that Zomato made it easy to eat whatever you craved, but not easy to eat what your body needed. Healthy Mode is our first real step in putting that right.

It’s live in Gurgaon, and we’ll expand fast. Try it, tear it apart, tell us where it fails. Because this is just the beginning—and for the first time, I feel we’re moving meaningfully closer to truly living up to our mission: better food for more people.

Absolutely ridiculous experience with @Eatclub_ in Bhayandar West. After 30 mins, they served ice-cold biryani straight from the freezer. Disgusting. And @eatclubsupport has the audacity to deny a full refund. Never ordering again. Shameful.
