Most Indians are one hospital bill away from sliding into poverty. This has consistently been on my mind since the day I heard it articulated like this. It's true. It's sad. It's eye-opening.

Earn Rs.100. Tax Rs.30. You get Rs.70. Invest Rs. 70. At 15% cagr, get Rs.140 in 5 yrs. Pay Rs.7 LTCG on Rs.70 capital gains. You net Rs.133. At 6% inflation, Original Rs.100 = Rs.133 You just reclaimed what you earned!

If you're going to work for a startup, think like a VC! Start understanding business models, chances of survival, management, market etc. Find a potential winner & invest your most precious resource in it: Your time! Jumping every 18 months sadly doesn't work very well.

My dad (late 60s, not tech savvy) got confused by one of the worst dark patterns I've ever seen inside the Urban Company app, and ended up paying for UC plus even though he didn't mean to. They automatically add a 6 month membership to your cart and make it confusing to remove

In this screenshot from Blinkit you can see the conway’s law in action where ad revenue is prioritised. The order tracking screen has 50% of screen real estate is an ad and only then you see the order status). As a user I want to see my order status first before anything else.
