धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा हमारे education system को फिर से संवारने की दिशा में बहुत बड़ा कदम है।
शाबाश देश भर के छात्रों, आप सभी पर गर्व है।
सड़कों पर आ कर लोकतंत्र, संविधान और अपने भविष्य की रक्षा में डट कर खड़े होने वाले हर एक युवा, हर छात्र को बहुत-बहुत बधाई।
2 मांगें अभी भी बाकी हैं - प्रधानमंत्री छात्रों और भारत के भविष्य को सम्मान देते हुए माफ़ी मांगें और छात्रों पर हिंसा के दोषियों पर कार्रवाई हो।
ये समाज के दूसरे वर्गों किसानों, मजदूरों, गरीबों, हर वो व्यक्ति जिसे इस सरकार ने दबाया है, कुचला है - अपने सम्मान के लिए संवैधानिक तरीके से डटकर खड़े होने में ही असली साहस है।
इस सरकार को हटाने का वक्त आ गया है।
डरो मत!
It’s been a minute.
2015–2018

2019–2025
- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.

- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.

Today
CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.
Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.
Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.
As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.
Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.
While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.
Onwards.
Had a call with a strong engineering candidate today
He was two minutes late and looked apologetic.
“I’m so sorry for being late!”
I said, “That’s okay. Everything alright?”
He replied, “Yeah, I was just helping my girlfriend with some errands.”
I paused.
“You… have a girlfriend?”
He nodded. “Yeah, we’ve been together for three years.”
I sighed.
Red flag.
“I’m sorry. I don’t think this will be a good fit. Wish you all the best.”
I ended the call immediately.
If your software engineer can talk to women, that's not a good sign.
The best male engineers can barely make eye contact with one.
If your male engineer is in a relationship (or God forbid, married), he’s at best a B-player
Always hire A-players
Jeff Bezos just explained the “AI bubble” better than anyone.
At Italian Tech Week 2025, Bezos didn’t deny the hype, he embraced it.
“Yes, there’s a bubble. But AI is real and it’s going to transform every single industry.”
He called it an industrial bubble, not a financial one.
That’s a crucial difference:
•A financial bubble (like 2008) destroys value and leaves nothing behind.
•An industrial bubble (like AI, the internet, or fiber optics) creates massive value, even if investors get crushed.
“Even when those companies went bankrupt, the fiber stayed in the ground. Society got the infrastructure. That’s what we’ll see with AI.”
Bezos says right now we’re in the “chaotic, beautiful” phase of overfunding, where every wild idea gets money.
Investors can’t tell the good ideas from the bad ones.
But that’s exactly how big shifts happen.
He compared it to Amazon’s early days:
“Our stock went from $113 to $6, while every internal metric improved. The market and the reality had completely diverged.”
His point: bubbles distort prices, not progress.
AI valuations might crash, but the technology won’t.
“This is not a mirage. This is a horizontal technology, like electricity and it will touch everything.”
Bezos isn’t predicting an apocalypse.
He’s predicting a reset, where the hype burns off, and the real builders remain.
AI isn’t a bubble, it’s a boom disguised as one.
SNITCH IS A FRAUD COMPANY. NEVER EVER ORDER OR BUY SOMETHING FROM THEM.
Their delivery partners are so smart that they remove items and deliver the exact same package, and when complains customer support they will show only packaging video.
SNITCH IS A FRAUD.
