Over the last 30 years, have seen many friends go overseas for ‘greener pastures’. Never felt any dissonance with the decision to stay back until now when you are unable to find beds and oxygen! Forget global superpower and $5T, let’s get basic healthcare and education right

India was no different. Luckily funds like @SaamaCapital @DSGCPvc @firesideventure led the way in the early days and now many new funds are beginning to chase consumer deals.

Are VCs getting worried listening to this AGM or getting more optimistic as usual? #RelianceAGMs2020

When I congratulated Manoj and @Shibam3 of @atomberg_tech hitting the 50cr/m net revenue scale, their response: “We are barely scratching the surface” The ambition and focus of young founders is truly inspiring. And the size of the India opportunity keeps surprising us!

Not seen a greater divergence between the optimism of the ‘new economy’ players and the gloomy outlook in traditional businesses. Is it a case of not knowing how difficult it is to make profits or too much of short term thinking?

My status after 3 days of no work: *ये बेफिक्र सी सुबह , और गुनगुनाहट शामों की ...!* *जिंदगी बहुत खूबसूरत है , अगर आदत हो मुस्कुराने की ...! Wonder what it will be after 3 months!

Serious question - how are investors, who are not doing webinars and have help at home, spending time?

Please don’t call it tech...maybe there is another name like tech impostor or tech masquerader that is right for real world businesses that get valued as tech in the private markets.

Refreshing to hear a contrarian view on perhaps the most important and certainly the most talked about issue in tech in 2019.
