We live in a world where innovation happens every single day. Competitors emerge quietly, problems surface unexpectedly, and uncertainty is constant. In that environment, if you don’t carry an unshakeable belief that things will work out, that you’ll find a way forward, you simply won’t survive.
Even after building this company for 8+ years, every day still feels like day one: for me and my co-founder, Sri Krishna. And the reason is simple: only the paranoid survive. But paranoia alone isn’t enough. To last, you must also be a rational optimist.
It’s fine that the world is changing.
It’s fine that new innovations are coming.
It’s fine that competitors are creeping in.
It’s fine that some renewals don’t happen.
None of that should shake your core belief.
You’re here to build something meaningful.
You’re here to delight customers.
You’re here to create long-term value for yourself and team: through today’s hard work, today’s uncertainty, and today’s relentless effort.
Belief isn’t blind optimism.
It’s disciplined conviction: earned every single day.
