I am very excited by the rise of Productised Services / XaaS (Anything as a Service)!

This soft on-ramp to entrepreneurship presents a favorable opportunity for Indian entrepreneurs to start businesses catering to the global audience.
Investors ought to check out what @tylertringas has been up to with @earnestcapital.

The combination of productised services, bootstrapping, and investing with returns pegged against founder earnings is likely to be the dominant mode of funding internet businesses of the 2020s.
For those of who want to get started, check out :

productizedstartups.com

Hit me or @krishna06 up if you want to jam :)
In the Indian ecosystem, watch out for @SinglaAnirudh! He is on point with building a marketplace for XaaS (@Pepper_Content for content writing).

Freshers, I think you’ll be better off in the long run if you focus on discovering what problems excite you, rather than blindly chasing skills.
If you want to explore problems, check out @vaibhavbetter’s portfolio for one line descriptions of what companies do.

I’m sure 90% of these things will bounce over your head…

Ask yourself ‘why are others excited about this problem??’
Bulk of this problem is because college students are only exposed to the education, F&B and entertainment industries.

They’re blind to 95% of the economy, especially the B2B front.

Only way out is to poke around and ask questions around every part of the value chain.

Alright, let's fucking do this!

I strongly believe that quality biz education can change the trajectory of the nation.

Schools and colleges have failed us. MBA loans are deadly.

Enter stoaschool.com, the game-changer.

This is what's in store for you at @StoaHQ Image
If you are from India, chances are that you've grown up privileged and sheltered.

Trying to earn while young was taboo. "You go study!" is what we're told.

Explains most of the STEM grads who at 22 realize that "oh fuck, there's more to this world than I knew"

What next?
When confusion strikes aspirations...there is chaos.

And when there is chaos, there is "beta, why don't you do an MBA?!"

Yeah, for the want of mental clarity and 'network', you end up signing themselves up for ₹20L-₹40L in loans.

It's dead weight.

Unpopular opinion time.

Being a generalist is overhyped right now. Many young folks use 'generalist' as an excuse to not bother developing a strong specialisation or heck, getting hands dirty.

No one's going to hire you for being a well read intellectual. Start executing.
I know I'm mixing being a generalist with execution paralysis but that's what it largely ends up being.

Reading gives a cheap sense of accomplishment, quick dopamine hits. A good way of avoiding the pains of doing stuff, getting fucked and learning from those lessons.

Go do!
Most wannabe generalists gravitate towards entrepreneurship and product management because of how hard these things are to define.

There's comfort in not committing to anything in particular because then you can't be measured. Vagueness is attractive.

Don't fall for this trap!

A thread of super interesting @Airbnb experiences that make me marvel at the beauty of the internet 👇🏽🤣
You can learn to bounce and twerk.

Who are some of the best writers on the Indian tech startup scene?

Are you looking to break into this list? Read on! ✍️
As compared to the US ecosystem, we're low on the number of investors, founders and operators who publish their thoughts.

If anything, this is an opportunity for sharp thinkers in India to establish their brand.

One comprehensive post can change your career trajectory.
"But I can't write well"

Don't let the fear hold you back. The top posts you see out there have gone through multiple iterations by writers who have written tens of posts.

You'll get there too! Use this guide by @Julian to get started 👇🏽
