I dropped out of IIT Bombay..

In my final year to build Saturn Labs with @fliptrail

We're building the infrastructure to train and deploy robots. Reached close to $10M in revenue in just the past 6 months. Just did our launch at the @join_ef demo day and it has been crazy week

[Vansh Arora @vansharora_1]

@MohapatraHemant Can lightspeed host an event for this & stream it live? I’m happy to intro some of my friends from @join_ef who’ve gone on to build startups in the US & raised multi million $

We are hosting our FIRST EVER event in BLR!!

Robotics Builders - 01
Inviting a bunch of robotics builders and egocentric data companies for a night of discussion, music and drinks 🍻

Simple agenda: we meet at 6 PM in the EF office, make some small talk, after which we head to a nearby pub to talk real shit. Food and drinks are on us :)

Keeping it limited to 20 people at the moment. Link in comments.

The world is deeply unfair.

Some of the most talented people I know are stuck in dead end desk jobs while some of the snarkiest narcissistic tyrannical workhorses are in positions of great power.

This has always greatly saddened me.

After a lot of analysis, I think there are 5 reasons this happens:

1. Refusal to believe / fear of failure. Loss of belief that where there is a will (to enact change), there is a way e.g. “I am just a cog in the wheel. If I say something, no one will listen.” or “if I do this, I will upset somebody”

2. Lack of purpose. You don’t really understand what you’re fighting for and what you believe in. You fight for inconsequential, often selfish, goals. e.g “Will doing this get me a promotion? Should I completely change everything to do this other project cause it will get me a promotion?”

3. Lack of self awareness. I will stand up to this thing I believe in and they will listen to me. e.g intern saying: “why doesn’t the ceo like my view on company strategy?”

4. Refusal to play. The failure to acknowledge that your worldview is only as powerful as your ability to influence others of your worldview OR a complete repudiation of the will to interact with those who don’t share your worldview e.g. “these guys just do what they want. They won’t listen to me. what will happen if I do this?”

5. Refusal to strategize or concede. The unwillingness to play and win a side quest that will ostensibly further your vote because you find the interim goal pointless. Or the inability to concede a battle to fight the war. e.g. “this direction is wrong. I need to fight it (even though it’s a small issue)”

Almost everyone who is bitter or feels stuck in their career boils down to one of these 5 failure modes 1, 2 and 3 are the most common. Many suffer consequences of 2-5 and end up in 1. I’ve personally seen some of my sharpest friends land up in 1 because they just don’t believe they can win.

One privileged part of my job is getting to interact with people who are willing to, against all odds, believe in something heretical, know why it’s important, know what needs to be done to make it real, do it, and make side quests to get it done. I think it applies to everyone doing anything.
