Insane

I am reading The Founders, its story about building PayPal. One thing that stays all across the chapters is insanity. All these founders, be it Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Max Levchin, Luke Nosek, or early members, were insane. They had a determination and vision of building big. The current x.com domain of Elon Musk has …

trash

Is social media a trash machine? Or a place where we try to showcase how good-looking we are, how amazing our life is to thought leadership? The left and right-centered world will have different ways of seeing the same. I have been observing myself. I realize that most of the time, I get on social …

Choice

We are living in a world full of choices. It confuses us, be it work, relationships, or shopping. We are lost. We are unsure and constantly seeking validation from others. Our life has become a showcase where we are out to delight the spectators. What we want, we have no clue about. We call ourselves …

blindspot

As a founder, are we living in our bubble?Are we too obsessed with our product?As a result, we forget or ignore the changing market dynamics.We have seen this with Kodak & Blackberry.These companies and founders were too complacent and took changing market conditions lightly.As a result, they are in ashes.

different

I am currently in Tokyo for a few more days. I have met over a dozen founders in the past weeks. I wanted to know how things work in Japan and the overall ecosystem. A pillar that binds entrepreneurs across the globe is that they are all different. The mindset is about going against the …

fate

Some people leave things to their fate and live. If it makes them happy, who are we to judge? Some take life in their control and work nonstop. They own their actions and fate. It is easy to complain and cry. It is easy to blame others or complain about bad fate. Most part of …

limits

How do we know what our limits are? Why do we have to add a limit on ourselves? Society defines what we or we cannot: class, race, age, sex, and culture all have their limitations. The ones who looked beyond these made their dream come true. Very few of them were the reason for the …

fire

There is a fire within us, the fire to do something. Most of the time, it comes when we are ignorant and uncorrupted by societal rules. Ask a young kid what he wants to become growing up, and they will have some answers. In most times, they will not remember as they age. It is …

karma

I know this sounds philosophical, but karma works in mysterious ways. We live in the era of capitalism, where the sermon has become: “What’s in it for me?” Everything starts with wealth and ends with “I”; we as a universe have no place. But what are we seeking in the end? After all the wealth, …

geopolitics

I was listening to and reading about BRICS+6. It feels like another divide against the US. Who will benefit from it? In the fight to become a superpower, countries are fighting. It is dividing the world more. As a result, ordinary people in these countries will suffer more. The fight between multiple blocks and countries …
