In a country such as India, this could be a disaster, if the right anti-abuse systems are not set up by WhatsApp.

Imagine receiving a message from warikoo / awarikoo / ankurwarikooo / ankur_warikoo / a_warikoo / ankurwarikooofficial etc etc - soliciting money.

1. Most people don't understand verified status (even if and when it is launched)
2. Cannot be verified through calling the phone number (because username = privacy)

I have fought a legal case against Meta's lack of attempt to bring down AI-generated ads showing my face, luring people into investment WhatsApp groups. I understand how massive this scam is and how easy it is in our country to execute it.

So forgive me, if from a public figure's standpoint, this features raises some serious concerns.

You should sit and read a book for 20 minutes a day, unless you are too busy. Then you should sit and read for an hour.

I’m increasingly convinced that the ultimate sign of growth is faster recovery. You still get upset. You still make mistakes. You still have bad days. But you return to center faster. Apologize faster. Reset faster. Learn faster. Fast recovery compounds.

Practice the ability of having absolutely no thoughts about something - act as if you had no idea it ever occurred.

Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.

Never start with manufacturing. Import first, learn to sell, build clients. Use the revenue from it to slowly start manufacturing. Never build before selling, it is true for physical products as much as software.

You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.

There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.

Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

@GyanTherapy This just proves you are doing the right thing :)

This happened because Taiwan invested in semiconductors (like India is doing since last 5 years) 25-30 years ago.

India did not invest in semiconductors and electronics manufacturing in 2000s as it should have. But glad it is doing so now.

Due to the AI chips boom now, a few chip companies of Taiwan have skyrocketed in valuation recently. TSMC alone is 40+% of Taiwan's stock index.

The people who try to make India look bad showing such stats now will be the same who will criticize too if, say, just one private company from India makes up 40+% of India's Nifty.

[Aravind @aravind]

@WeekendInvestng We let ourselves behind in 2000s when Taiwan did investments in semiconductors and advanced tech. Glad we are catching up now doing our own investments. Thank you for bringing attention to the matter.

the gap between "i have an idea" and "i shipped a product" just got so small it's basically not a gap anymore
