Today is thai poosam, a special day in the Tamil calendar. Our villagers and many of our students got up at 2 am and walked about 12 km to Thoranamalai Murugan temple and I joined them.🙏🙏🙏
1/ Here is the kind of problem I often think about: Take a very poor district in India. What does it take for it to become one of the rich places in the world?
How does per capita GDP go from $1K to $25K-50K?
What is "catch up"? How long would it take?
1/ One of the psychological and spiritual effects of concentration of talent (which is what large scale urbanization ultimately is about) is the "rat race".
Large urban areas don't give us space - the sheer physical room, and young children acutely perceive that lack of space.

Humble request to startup media 🙏🙏
Pls publish logo of company or pic of team when funding news are announced instead of having a solo pic of the founder on it.
We are creating a wrong culture by celebrating vanity badges and making heroes of founders for raising money.
1/ Silicon valley used to have slogans like "we code for food" and "ramen profitability" - all before the Fed bubble era when billion dollar Series QE funding rounds became common.

Here are two books, coming from unorthodox university professors that I recommend.
Thanks for capturing this, @philww and @diginomica
1/ In Feb 2020, prior to covid, the Zoho Austin team decided to take up farming - to grow our own food organically for our employees.

1/ I believe the most important economic and social priority for India and other developing nations should be to acquire complex technological know-how.
2/ Global inequality is mainly driven by lack of know-how because economic value added primarily goes to those that have it.
I respectfully sent this email to @ForbesTech to let them know my perspective on "net worth", which they are compiling the list for this year and they contacted us to value Zoho.
