I hope our engineers in India, especially in startups, understand the value of ESOPs as a disproportionate wealth creation opportunity. Don't think of the small increments and bonuses each year. The game changer is employee equity and faith in the mission.

Call it Tech, call it a data play or now AI but the core DNA of Google seems like a marketing agency.

Revenue and Traction. Both important but different aspects for an early stage startup. For example : A B2B SaaS startup has $3K MRR (revenue) but 120% MoM growth, 40% retention, and 3 Fortune 500 pilots (traction). Investors will care much more about the traction metrics. Rule of thumb: โ€ข Traction answers: โ€œIs the market excited and using what we built?โ€ โ€ข Revenue answers: โ€œAre people willing to pay real money for it?โ€ #StartupGyan #startuplife #founders

Can relate to that. We also started with 4 people in a conference room without windows ! I did not miss my office in SF. Focus on the right talent and mission is more critical than plush offices . #StartupLife #startupfounders #startups
SpaceX was less than 10 people back then. We didnโ€™t even have office furniture.

#WATCH | Nagpur, Maharashtra: Chef Vishnu Manohar prepares 3,000 kg tarri poha on World Poha Day. Chef Vishnu Manohar says, "... The purpose is to show the world that Nagpurโ€™s poha is our pride โ€” the staple food of central India. Anyone visiting Nagpur must try tari poha, a speciality many donโ€™t know about. The tari, made with desi chickpeas rich in protein, makes it unique."

Some CEOs in Financial Services think enterprise grade #AI is interesting, useful but optional. Clients are not optional, scale is not and certainly profitability is not. Those believing in "pilots" are unwilling to place clear bets. Weeks and max months, is the speed of change. Winners are those who convert ambition into action.

Happy 67 th CMA Day Now if you're wondering what is a "CMA" , let me unpack it for you. Cost and Management Accountants play a critical role in decision making and providing transparency across industrial sectors, not limited to manufacturing. They bring a unique blend of economics and statistics. When i qualified back in the nineties, I will admit, it was a hard exam with two papers a day of three hours each for 4 days in a row. I still remember a subject called "OR" or Operational Research which was challenging. it's a great body of knowledge but underutilized. Wishing the community of CMAs the best. Thank you for your service to building the nation. #CMA #icwai #CostAccountant #ICMAI #Audit

When I was asked for advice on what's one thing a startup should take as a guiding principle i'd sat it's " let perfect not be the enemy of the good ". Launch when the product is good and launch to learn, not launch to earn (right away).

It was a pleasure to interact with the community of practitioners at Kolkata and discuss how wealth management technology is reshaping MFD workflows and what digital transformation truly means. Contrasting India with other countries like the US and China made the session interesting. Thank you @ICC_Chamber @vijaimantrimf

Startup founders think very carefully when you name your product "Premier". My experience with HSBC Premier is awesome but when it comes to Uber Premier in Kolkata, it's the complete opposite. #StartupTips #StartupGrowth

Competing against "free" is extremely hard for any startup. What is the "real" cost of something free that does not do the job properly. How would you like a free elephant if you had to feed, house and clean up. Pay for value . Be persistent and demonstrate value to the users.
