The way you do something is the way you do all things!
If you're willing to take shortcuts, you'll take shortcuts in big things too.
It sucks. Beacuse,
Strong principles mean doing difficult things even when no one is looking.
Have principles.
Have character.

Planning to start a Paper Club in Bengaluru, where we’ll invite researchers, read papers, and discuss them together.

India is producing some of the most technically sophisticated companies in the world right now.
From space tech, semiconductor design, defense and robotics, biotech, EV components, and AI infrastructure. The depth of what's being built is really groundbreaking.
And a lot of them are still losing fundraises and export deals to foreign competitors who are less technically advanced but better at making their work legible to the decision makers.
That's the problem @prachiruns and I built the studio around. Not branding or aesthetics but making deep technical work trustworthy and clear to the specific person who needs to act on it.
That's one of the major reason why we decided to base our work in India, close to where this technology is actually being built and manufactured at scale.
Folks, I am making my Redis Internals course available on YouTube. Every Saturday and Sunday, one new video drops, going deep into how Redis actually works - not slides and theory, but real implementation in Golang.
Two videos are already out, and today I am releasing the 3rd video of the series. In total, there are 26 videos, and every single one is super practical, where I will actually walk you through the theory and source code to implement all the features of Redis, like data structures, transactions, pipelines, etc.
The third video is live now, and it talks about Redis's wire protocol. RESP is the wire protocol every Redis client uses to talk to the Redis server. Understanding it means you understand the boundary between your application and Redis at the byte level, literally.
Give it a watch. 3 videos are out now:
1. Why Single-Threaded Redis Is Fast
2. TCP Echo Server - Step 0 to Build Your Own Redis
3. Implementing Redis Wire Protocol - RESP
If you have ever wanted to understand what happens inside a database rather than just how to use one, give it a watch and follow along.
1/ Most people “prepare for interviews”.
If you’re aiming for top spots like @Rippling , @databricks , @stripe , @nvidia , @Razorpay , @JioHotstar etc, you may need to rebuild yourself for that bar.
Here’s the PLAYBOOK for 0–5 YOE folks in India.

🧵 If you’re in your early 20s, hungry, and actively looking for hustle culture (with real upside, not fake “startup vibes”), here’s a 2026 list of companies I’d aim for from India.
Remember, this isn’t a “safe” or “complete” list ;)
