I saved my uncle ₹10 lakh on a home loan by saying NO to one thing the bank manager pushed hard. They call it mandatory. RBI never did. 90% of Indians don’t know this 👇🏻

I have vibe coded an app with the potential of 3cr ARR in the first year. I have zero coding skills. I have 100 paying clients ready. Should I have a developer on my team? What advice would you give me?

A founder is using premium dating apps as a stealth recruitment funnel and it’s the most unhinged optimization hack I’ve ever heard of. He has completely turned his dating life into a zero CAC talent pipeline. Here is how the funnel works: 1. The Automation: He takes a different girl out every week but eliminates all decision fatigue. Same restaurant, same hidden corner table, same exact dishes, and the same clothes. He refuses to waste mental energy or capital on a wardrobe. 2. The Filter: He runs premium Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge accounts with elite copywriting to maximize matches. But the moment a girl replies, he doesn't check her lifestyle. He checks her LinkedIn. If her industry and skills don't fit his startup's needs, she’s filtered out immediately as "not worth the time investment." 3. The Conversion: The date is just a first-round interview disguised as dinner. He keeps it strictly platonic, builds trust, and offers her a freelance "gig." Once she’s in his ecosystem, he converts her into a full time hire. When people call him out for being completely dehumanizing, his defense is that It’s a game, it doesn't matter. At least I got a startup, and I’m going to YC. Is this peak operational efficiency, or pure psychopathy?

Exactly one year ago today, Ahmedabad lost its soul. I was on my way near the airport for some work, thinking it was just another afternoon. It was a slow day. The city was quiet people were eating lunch, attending meetings, planning their evening, living completely normal lives. Then, the world shattered. I didn’t see the Air India plane go down. But The sudden, deafening wave of chaos. The endless, screaming sirens of ambulances and police cars. The raw, unfiltered panic in the air. You couldn't see the crash from where I was, but you could feel the collective heartbreak of a city realizing what had just happened. You won’t believe how fast a city of millions can go completely numb. Whole Ahmedabad was in shock. It felt like the city itself died that day. The laughter stopped. The traffic stopped. Life stopped. We were never the same after that afternoon. For days, every discussion led back to the same tragedy. Every family imagined, “What if it was us or someone we knew?” A year has passed, and the world expects us to just move on, to treat it like a tragic date on a calendar. But how do you heal when the air still feels heavy? To every family that was broken that afternoon we have not forgotten you. Ahmedabad has not forgotten you. Life goes on, but a piece of this city stayed in that wreckage. Rest in peace.

An Indian founder was rejected by multiple VCs because his tech was too original. Every VC asked the same question: Is anyone in the US doing this? He said no one. They lost interest. Every single time. That’s the disease. India doesn’t fund ideas it funds proof that America already approved them. That’s why no one here builds but everyone just serves foreign giants and waits for a Western template to copy. I refused to let his vision die. I helped him by re-architecting the narrative and doubled down on one core truth that Innovation can start right here in India. Today, he officially signed his first VC cheque from a fund that finally saw the vision. Innovation can start in India. The photocopy mindset is a choice. We just need more people brave enough to fund the original.

Blinkit knows when your toddler has your phone, and it’s lowkey terrifying. I was trying to trick my toddler that chocolates were out of stock, so I typed gibberish (the way a toddler would) into the search. Look at the exact products the app served up as a fallback.
