This is a mathematics joke involving potatoes and calculus. (Circulating widely on the Web.)

If junk food giants see India as a lifeline, Indians must worry about our waistline.

Since junk food is engineered specifically to be addictive, people need help to avoid over-indulgence. Indian food safety regulators must step in to regulate.

Crazy to see how poor most of my VC funded friends are, literally scraping by

Meanwhile my bootstrapped friends are entering HNWI and UHNWI category now buying luxury yachts and mansions (not my thing but good for them)

10 years ago all of them were broke!

Founding a VC funded startup is usually 1-5% odds of success or less

When u do get successful you only keep 5-10% of equity usually (esp w/ cofounders which is usually reqd to even get VC funding!) but then 1/3rd goes tax so 2.5-5% of $100M-$1B so $2.5M to $50M

But u can get the low end of that $20M-$30M if you bootstrap solo properly for 10 years ($1-3M/y biz @ 5x and high margins and save money and invest in ETFs properly)

I think impt thing to note is that VCs have a big interest in manipulating public opinion in startup world to make founders think they need VCs and they have the money to spend on it with PR

Indie bootstrappers have no incentive to do that at all which is why you hear much less about indie founders in press and public opinion etc while it's a big part of the economy realistically as it's part of small and medium businesses (SMBs are 44% of US GDP!)

Hack-Z by @EdwiselyIndia and @OsmaniaTBI saw 600 registrations and 350 participants building their hacks in a record 6 hours.

This could very well be the coolest Hackathon of #Hyderabad

@shyam_046 @bhavintu @MrBeast @RadixRegistry Not really. Mr. Beast's merchandise was sold on https://t.co/j9qxbVVzAT until now. It has now migrated to https://t.co/5flX89i1HS

.com to .store is where @RadixRegistry comes into picture. Radix is huge into new age domain extensions.

7.5 Lakh Indians went abroad to study in 2022.

Let's keep that in mind while also congratulating @iitbombay on the QS World University Rankings.

IITB has been ranked 1st in India and has moved significantly up from 172nd rank last year to 149th rank this year in QS World University Rankings. For the first time ever, IITB has been ranked within top 150 and top 10% in QS rankings.

If you don’t prioritize, everything seems urgent and important. If you define the single most important task for each day, almost nothing seems urgent or important. Oftentimes, it’s just a matter of letting little bad things happen (return a phone call late and apologize, pay a small late fee, lose an unreasonable customer, etc.) to get the big important things done.

The answer to overwhelm is not spinning more plates—or doing more—it’s defining the few things that can really fundamentally change your business and life.
