Was great fun sitting down with Karthik and Nithin at @ZerodhaVarsity ! We explored the basics of venture debt and some useful topics for founders as they think through capital solutions. @AlteriaCap #venturedebt #startupindia @Rainmatterin

Seeing the horrific start from India’s batsmen today, wondering if this game is also part of the Trade deal package! #T20WorldCup #INDvsUSA

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

Phenomenal win for Indian cricket! Shafali, Deepti, Smriti, Richa and so many more amazing contributions, great day for Women’s cricket putting India on the map! Well played Team India! #WomensWorldCup2025 #IndianCricket

Would also add End of Eternity to the list. @jeffweichsel

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

I would recommend- start with Nightfall (to get exposed to his style) and follow it up with I Robot to set context and dive straight into Foundation. The rest of the Robot series and Foundation sequels can go hand in hand and drop Prelude all the way to the bottom. Lovely topic!

@banglani Fair- ignore the bowling. Amazing fielder (a team with yuvi, sir and Raina saves 25 )! Not a class act wrt batting but got the job done. Indian wickets- only Azhar ranks higher in my view and I just can’t pick him in any XI! As to Zak- purely for variety, left arm swing.

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

@banglani Raina is the 11th highest run scorer for India in ODI cricket, averages 35 but more importantly had a strike rate of 93.5 and throw in 100+ catches and useful middle overs. SENA wickets- deficiencies against the short ball may tip the scales in favour of Rahul maybe.

And the yellow train leaves the station!A little bit nervy toward the end but looks like Chepauk will be a fortress this year as well! #CSKvMI #Dhoni #RuturajGaikwad and the mercurial #Noor lives up to his name 💯 Great start! #IPL2025

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

So true. Applies to startups as well. Is your startup appreciating or depreciating? While it’s not such an oversimplification in reality, it should definitely influence choice of capital- Equity or Debt or ideally a mix of both!

[Alok Jain ⚡ @WeekendInvestng]

The rich become richer using debt only. They take debt to invest in appreciating assets

AND

The middle class is always taught to either stay away from debt or lured to use debt to buy depreciating assets. If they buy any appreciating assets they are told to pay off debts quickly!!

The rich know the more debt they take the less they have to pay in future eventually because MORE money is getting printed every second and the value of the printed paper is going down fast.

This is the real reason for most to remain where they are.

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

We celebrate our batsmen vigorously but when a legendary bowler leaves the field for the last time, it’s befitting to have atleast a little bit of ceremony! A thinking, articulate spin wizard who was always couple of steps ahead - @ashwinravi99 we will miss you! Thank you.

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

In Bumrah, we trust. So rare to see great skill, humility and maturity come together #INDvsAUS #magician

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

Lubber Pandhu. Simplicity in production, raw and intense rustic portrayal of extremely relatable situations, lovely movie! If you want to understand the impact of cricket in everyday lives (both good and bad), this is a great illustration. #lubberpandhuonhotstar #Gethu

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

Great start to the weekend, cheeky yet classy ton from Sarfaraz! He and Pant seem to be two peas in a pod, constantly entertaining without forgetting what we need to do to win this game! #INDvsNZ No more rain pls!

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

Indiaaaaaaaaaa India! Bumrah the magician! All round team effort! What a win! #T20WorldCupFinal #INDvSA

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

if it’s sandstorm time, where is the SRT ton? #MumbaiRains #WeatherUpdate

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

The man, the legend! Baasha paaru, Baasha paaru playing in the background with those three sixes … just perfect! #ThalaDhoni #Yellove #CSKvsMI #epic

Amazing to see the fast bowling cupboard fill up so nicely for India! 21 year old Mayank Yadav - the latest find making his way quickly into the elite 150+ club! #PBKSvsLSG #IPL

[Vinod Murali @vinodmur]

Almost 21 years ago, @sinhaanurag14, Vibhav and I joined @ICICIBank together as Management Trainees so it feels great to see this relationship blossom! Better than founder friendly is friends as founders! #venturedebt @AlteriaCap https://t.co/GlOKzZeBjh
