All the best.

Yes we need more $2B to $3B valuation IPOs than $5 to $10B ones.

India is a wide market owing to its population, but is a $3T economy. We can produce many companies, however valuation ambitions should be realistic.

Glad to see Make Your Own Luck is going strong after 2.5 years with several reprints and yet featured on social media.

Also 4.4/5 on Amazon after 422 reviews.

India is extracting groundwater like there is no tomorrow. By 2030 demand for water will outstrip supply by 2x. We dump industrial wastewater into rivers with inadequate treatment; 30% of all river water is unfit for consumption. We’re messing with the resources that we do have.

It's not because I want to be nice that I never dismiss newly launched startups. It's because I understand how dangerous it is. The best ideas generally look like bad ideas at first, and if a startup succeeds, it's going to make you exponentially wrong.
