Prakhar ke Pravachan is BACK. @prvkhvr
Feels like the OG COVID-era streams again.

takeaways:
> your 20s aren't a race to figure life out. You have time to experiment, make mistakes, change direction and start again. Don't let someone else's timeline become your deadline.

Steve Jobs couldn't write a single line of code.
Wozniak couldn't sell a single computer.

Together, they built Apple.

Jobs could make you believe. Woz could make it work.

Namit Malhotra says Ramayan is the most challenging VFX project his team has ever worked on, even after delivering films like Dune, Oppenheimer, Interstellar and Harry Potter.

Indian cinema is really aiming for something truly global.

@prvkhvr if KATAs were made by a spell caster, this is what it would sound like -

@rishilectual Spellcasted today. Tooluse tomorrow

[Rishikesh Taksale @rishilectual]

If you’ve been watching Prakhar since COVID, you’ll realise that this is the kind of content where he gets into his flow state. This is where his natural talent lies.

Glad he’s back with this kind of content. You get life-changing perspectives.

[Aditya Chafale @AdityaChafale]

Spellcaster vs. Tool User
Sales vs. Builder

Just watched Prakhar Gupta's live, where he discussed these interesting contrasts.

It got me thinking about how we approach work, skills, and problem-solving.

If you're curious about these concepts, I'd suggest giving the live a view

We fight so hard to get into these rooms abroad, the universities, the offices, the cities.

And then we go quiet once we’re inside.

Stop Shrinking To Fit In Abroad. The few who dislike you don’t matter. Take your Space

Hot take: if youre an Indian living abroad, youre holding the room by not being yourself

[ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴋɪʟʟᴇʀ @ReignOfBateman]

Watched this and it hit hard @prvkhvr

So many Indians abroad are talented, hardworking, and still hold themselves back, too polite, too careful, too scared to take up space.

the racists were never going to like you anyway. Everyone else is waiting to see what you’ve really got. So be loud, be real, and take your space.

Happy diwali, everyone! 🇮🇳 🪔

[Prakhar Gupta @prvkhvr]

We are in the second stage of the Global Indian rise.

The first was, and not until very recently, complete ignorance. No one bothered. We did not have to be seriously marketed to.

Now thats changing. The second stage is ‘orientalising’ us. We are the distant other, the ‘land of colors’, or some stupid vlogger version wherein india is just a trash pile they visited or an unhygenic food vendor stall they recorded. But now they have to talk about us Indians, and talk to us Indians.

The one place where we see this happening well is the European football world and the content they make for Indians. India is one of the largest viewership markets for European football, and they have understood how to keep us included.

The third step will be understanding us on our terms. We are the largest producer and consumer of content on the free internet. We are the second highest number of english speaking population in the world. We understand the west but come with cultural OS thats indigenous enough for Western software to run but not change the system.

More GDP per capita, more discretionary spending, more influence in markets, more maverick private citizens, more english speaking-culture carrying intellectually dangerous Indians, more world class athletes and artists and we will be there soon.

Dont bet against Indians.

[Ankit Bhuptani 🏳️‍🌈 @CitizenAnkit]

Apple’s new Diwali ad captures very little of India as it actually is, but almost everything about how outsiders imagine India to be.

Hey @Apple, Representation is not the same as understanding.
