The saddest part about living in your late 30s / mid 40s is seeing legends & people that inspired, shaped up or touched your lives, made you laugh or cry go away. Be it people from business, musicians, artists, actors or sports.

Old VC Pitch story from 2012 when I was building Wishberg, but I still remember this one. Two very popular super angels called me to pitch to them for a meeting at a very high-profile, super-rich bombay club. My first visit to any club of any kind whatsoever, it was intimidating anyway. I arrived early and was asked to wait until someone called for us. It was supposed to start around 7 pm or something, but I remember I had waited nearly 30-45 minutes already. Managed to glance through and these two gentlemen were sitting and already hearing the pitch of another, of a famous-celeb-founder. Nope, I am not judging - they were. Both of them were visibly drunk and laughing or cheering animatedly with that founder. They called for me. Went inside - it seemed that these angels have been there for all evening and ours seemed to be their last meeting for the day. Started the conversation, one was sloshed and was already telling his group of friends - wait just 5 mins, I will get done with this. No being from IIT or IIM or Ivy League (it was a thing back then) - had put them off already. Second one spoke about himself for 5 mins and rest of the time - cut me on every slide this won’t work, you haven’t seen the world, etc etc. 12-15 mins, and they were done. All through the meeting, had drinks, food and snacks and no one offered even glass of water or even bothered to remove food and glasses from the last pitches. The first drunk guy kept checking out passing women, and 10 mins into the pitch he left to join his friends. The second guy in all his arrogance said - buddy, do something meaningful in life. Long story short, the two gentlemen are still in the industry - over time while building Raise (knowingly or unknowingly) had tried to connect, but of course, I found a way out. Yes, the famous-founder was funded by them and over few years the venture folded silently. No big deal, we also folded Wishberg after few years. Those 15 mins of my life - I remember being treated as Bharat Bhushan in the movie Bheja Fry (in case you know, you know) who gets paraded as talent for weekend evening fun by a rich guys. I am not against strong feedback or refusing to fund - we founders face rejections all the time, but showing basic respect & humility that one should display in interactions with people is the minimum expectation.

Just started watching - The Titan Story. Loving it so far, act, craft and the performances, along the vibe of Old Mumbai and India of the 80s/90s. More that anything, what I really admire that we have started telling & sharing stories of building companies & brands, and also showcasing that building something of value is always a collective effort of many people - builders and believers. Good one and must watch!

Order Flow is live on DEXT T3 Trading Terminal on @DhanHQ 📊🚀 Shipping this feature took much longer than most of our other features. Not because it was technically hard, though it was, because we refused to cut corners on the data underneath it. Most Order Flow tools in the market are built on bid and ask data. Intent. Not reality. We built ours on actual executed orders, real trades, real prices, real fills from the exchange, built on our proprietary infrastructure to read and decipher exchange data feeds. Every number you see in the Order Flow charts is what actually happened inside that candle. Not what someone wanted to show based on Bid / Ask or Intent. That decision meant building a custom data pipeline from scratch. It meant no lag, no delay, and no approximation, because we felt traders deserved market reality, not market appearance. At Dhan, we have always believed that information gaps cost traders edge every day. Order Flow closes one of the most persistent ones. The candle tells you where the market went. Order Flow tells you why. Most features at @DhanHQ come from our interactions with the trader community. This one was no different! Traders have asked for this for a long time. It is live now. #DEXTT3 #MadeForTrade

31 May 2020: I was on the road, staring at failure at the start of my 40s. 1 June 2020: 6 years back, on this day I started my journey of building Raise (@RaiseTheBarHQ) from zero. The day before, I held a fancy title of Founder, Managing Director and CEO of a financial services company, was an industry pioneer and a leader, built and scaled a product that redefined how India invested online, that made mutual funds popular, and introduced direct mutual funds to the masses. Built a venture that managed few billions dollars and was possibly valued as much as. Next day, I had nothing. No titles, No power. No team. No salary, No stocks. Practically made no money from the venture I gave everything to for 3 years to make it a grand success. Founders like me are emotional fools & immature beings who trust easily and take a word as a word, only to realise one day - the world doesn't work the way one thinks it works. Tried to raise money from venture capital, which I thought would be a easy thing to do but it was not. Almost every VC out there rejected me. Few influential people made raising capital a bit difficult. Many VC & partners who promised term-sheets, stopped responding to emails / chats or just backed out. All of this happened during peak COVID times. I was staring at failure at the start of my 40s. I had no idea what the future would hold for me. Job was never an option, I am too practical and also much of a straight-talker to survive in a corporate life. I had started up 3 times earlier, and was more or less a failure. Somehow gathered courage to start-up again just because giving up again was never an option. Times have changed since then! Today we are a team of ~650 builders and believers at Raise. Only thing we care about is building the best consumer experiences across all the products we are building - @DhanHQ @ask_fuzz @Upsurge_club @Stratzy_HQ @FilterCoffeeHQ and few more ventures in insurance, wealth and investing that we are building. 5 years back value of everything was Zero. Today for whatever it means, Raise is a unicorn valued at USD 1.2 Bn. At some point, I was offered good money as some sort of settlement which of course I never took. This is why I say that as founders, some of us are emotional fools who keep taking chances even after losing it all! Looking back, even after this crazy journey and tons of luck by my side, I am still more of an emotional & introvert founder fool. We are still in our early days of building and are far from where we want to be. Once again, there's no inspiration or gyan here for anyone. Tu tera dekh le bhai, yahaan mein khud bhagwan ke bharose pe hoon.. I post this just as a reminder to myself - never forget where & how we started from. More importantly to express my gratitude to all those who stood by me and supported us in my tough times - as co-founders, team members, colleagues, believers, supporters, cheerleaders, well wishers, investors, friends and most importantly as our customers. Thank you, I wouldn't have made it till here without you 🙏

Influencers trying to be Founders, understandable. Founders trying to be influencers, end of business.. is near.

Last Saturday, @DhanHQ hosted the first-ever dhan(dot)dev meetup We started with one simple question: Can we get developers and traders under the same roof and actually build an offline community? Coding has completely changed the game in the last few years - and traders are now obsessed with building their own systems. So we just dropped 3 brand new products designed to create the ultimate trading interface for developers & AI agents. More details dropping very soon. 👀What do you think — should we make this a regular thing?

Can we stop this please... As a commuter, feel this is just nuisance.. 🥺 As a marketer, feel this may be worst monies ever spent.. 🤡

dhan(dot)dev is our first community meetup for developers, traders, and builders working at the intersection of technology and markets - APIs, AI workflows, trading infrastructure, all of it. 📍 Dhan HQ, Mumbai 🗓️ 23 May 2026 ⏰ 11 AM – 1 PM Register using link below!

Now that everyone knows Jane Street has 1000s of GPUs putting insane computing power to use… Think it’s a good day to share that I know of a trading platform in India who is using few GPUs to power it’s own AI capabilities 🤭🤓 And no prizes for guessing 🥲

It always fascinates me - how easy it is for some founders to outright lie or claim anything, just because one can without being questioned! Businesses & Respect is build on trust. Always assume that your customers, team members, competitors and the ecosystem you operate in is much smarter than you. A crack that forms, is very very difficult to fill-in and will always be visible. Be genuine. Be authentic. It matters.
