As the ESOP culture grows in India (via startups), its imp we establish right benchmarks. Seeing many cases in India of differential vesting schedules (eg. 5%, 15%, 30%, 50% over 4 yrs). This makes no sense, is just unfair Equi-vesting is the way it shld be: 25% vesting per yr!

A lot of Moj creators for example put educational/inspirational content. They could in a live stream recommend their followers the best exam-preparation/self-help book to buy.

@shiladitya @ishaanpreet "But in India, it is a market that needs selling" Toutiao in China employs 1000s in sales team to fill their digital ad slots. Most of the US social networks scaled up this way. It always takes some human persuasion to move the market digital. It's not an India-only phenomenon.

@shiladitya @ishaanpreet "A UGC only strategy alone cant drive product usage and engagement this India" We have already disproved it. Our DAU spends half an hour per day, consuming content which is 99% UGC.

When we started ShareChat - we used Whatsapp sharing as a means to grow organically. I remember our servers crashed on the new year's eve of 2015 due to the unexpected spike in traffic. That's when we really understood the magnitude of this behaviour during festivals.

We have come a long way since then with various diverse content categories emerging on the platform but it's still amazing how much of the festival sharing behaviour continues till date!

@manish1765 @SDMBahadurgarh @BahadurgarhE @DainikBhaskar @ndtv @aajtak Important NOT to stigmatize folks who are home quarantined by the state. They are helping all of us.
