How time gets split on a Sunday - 1/3rd thinking how to use AI to be more productive, 1/3rd learning AI to be more productive and 1/3rd using AI to try and be more productive

A great weekend watch knowing what world could look like 10 years from now (at least Elon’s world)

Cheeky pint maybe not as popular, but my current favourite tech podcast by a mile. @collision @elonmusk @dwarkesh_sp

[John Collison @collision]

Please enjoy this Cheeky Pint / @dwarkesh_sp crossover with @elonmusk.

Dwarkesh was most interested in how Elon is going to make space datacenters work. I was most interested in Elon's method for attacking hard technical problems, and why it hasn’t been replicated as much as you might expect. But we got into plenty of topics in this three-hour session.

@shreyyshth @JayneshKasliwal @KirtanShahCFP Also some context, we chose the national distribution model over a pure SaaS platform because it delivers a significantly better experience for end clients. For example, features like fetching holdings via MFCentral can't work on a SaaS platform.

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

@shreyyshth @JayneshKasliwal @KirtanShahCFP Yes that’s right, but we are very transparent with our commission sharing (it’s a flat 90:10 sharing).

Nothing gets better than this, best of traditional media with the best of modern media.

We honestly have no idea how he pulls it all off, so we had to ask him.

Fresh off of DealBook Summit, @andrewrsorkin on ACQ2:

Wimbledon ads on @JioHotstar are such a good tell for who’s chasing India’s emerging HNIs, from @DezervHQ and @atlys to Rustomjee and @Mahindra_Auto

Zepto Cafe experience:

1. Open the app – 7 min delivery time
2. Place the order – now it’s 12 min
3. Actual delivery – 40 min

@ZeptoNow, we’d rather brace for 40 min upfront than be strung along with false hope

@ionicwealth Question to everyone, when do you all think first SIF will go-live?

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

Favorite time of the year. As always, incredible interviews by legendary @andrewrsorkin 🤩

We can all now sit back and see 134295 comparisons between @Swiggy and @zomato's metrics on our feeds. Swiggy DRHP will definitely be the most analyzed DRHP ever 😂

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

Only in Bombay does the Uber driver message the exact pillar number they’re waiting at in the airport parking. In Bangalore, just figuring this out takes 10 mins 😅. This city runs on a whole different level of efficiency!

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

Interestingly, we had 23 top-8 finishes this Olympics compared to 18 in 2020 and just 8 in 2008

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

How did India fare at the 2024 Paris Olympics, beyond just the medal count?

Interestingly, we had 14 top-4 finishes this Olympics but only secured 6 medals. Our top-4 count this summer was higher than any previous Olympics

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

End of an era @16Sreejesh 🏑🙏

[Boria Majumdar @BoriaMajumdar]

“In my career one of my coaches told me when you retire people should ask WHY and not WHY Not? Now all of you are asking me WHY? So I think it is the best time to call it a day.” @16Sreejesh to me when I asked if his captain @13harmanpreet and coach has asked him to reconsider and if he will reconsider his retirement. @RevSportzGlobal

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

And @16Sreejesh THE WALL delivers, again, and again and again. What a match against Great Britain and India move to the semis.

First win over Australia in Hockey after 52 years in Olympics! And with that Manu enters her 3rd final, and the archery mixed team enters the semi-finals. So not a bad week after all for Indian fans. Lehra do 🇮🇳

One more medal for India. What incredible shooting in the Standing position from Swapnil Kusale to bounce back and win broze 🥉

@lakshya_sen INCREDIBLE WIN. Unfortunately, he'll likely face @PRANNOYHSPRI in the round of 16 😢

[Pranay Agarwal @pranay_agarwall]

How good is @lakshya_sen when he's in form! You'd need two pairs of eyes to play some of those shots in the first set 🏸
