1) The game is won not by people who make correct predictions of the future, but by the ones who act correctly once the future arrives. Execution and pattern recognition are key skills.
2) Pleasure hides things under the mirage, while painful scenarios like COVID exposes our insecurities, weaknesses and shortcomings by bringing them out into the open.
3) NFTs are today, what Facebook, YouTube and Twitter were in the early 2000s. Anything that has the potential to create social currency ends up being consumed by the masses since we all consume media to create a digital identity for ourselves.
4) Indians have made the world realise the talent our country has to offer, especially in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The imminent issue is market size, that's the constraint Indian startups suffer with.
5) Being rebellious against controlling parents is understandable, but maturity is not letting it interfere with your definition of success. "Fall in love with your process, not in the trophies of winning the process"

1) Specificity is a double-edged sword for a content creator. You have to share enough details, but not so much that it becomes unrelatable or un-understandable for the mass public.
2) Consuming "feel good" content that does not have any actionable value, is like "empty calories". You start consuming for the sake of consumption, rather than for the purpose of learning/growth.
3) All philosophies, Buddha, Gita, Vedas, etc have a consensus of hunger being the cause of suffering. It's the desire to pursue something that makes something worth pursuing, not the other way around.
1) Build "profi-cons", not unicorns, since bootstrapped companies being scaled with a promoter's money and yet being profitable are a rare sight.
2) Monetization takes a different route based on the nature of the market. In the west, markets are deeper and single products are scalable, while n the east, you scale your user with bundled products, and then build from there.
3) Platforms are very valuable but very hard to build. most people believe they are building platforms and marketplaces, but what they are actually building is a product.
1) Agility and adaptation in organizations are always muddled with short term pain, but it must be done nonetheless. Make peace with it.
2) Creating a full-stack suite of products entails the risk of being perceived differently by different people, often skewed to one end of the spectrum. Accept it, and mould it in your favour by delivering beyond expectations.
3) Processes are limited by nothing other than your own imagination. When forced by constraints, if the team at Zilingo can handle supply-chain management via remote teams, what's your excuse?
1) Product management stems out of a process to solve a problem, and then converting that process into a repeatable system that can scale.
2) While building a product, start by understanding the bare-minimum work-flow of the process first. As you scale up, they’ll be a gap to fill, and then you build a product to fill that gap
3) @nikhilkamathcio believes that you must keep a 2-way communication open while the product is being built, to ensure that the Beta users are giving real0time feedback that can mould the final product.
1) All religions started as a solution to a problem of lack of unity, but eventually people's interpretations converted it into a problem for the solution of peace.
2) Everyone, including atheists has something as their "God value", and the newest God value is The Algorithm, especially for content creators.
3) The future of jobs is very different from what we were prepared for in school. Content and creativity will become hygiene factors for businesses.
1) Changing the world starts with a desire to prove to the world what you can do, but eventually becomes much larger than that. When you realize your true potential, it’s your responsibility to deliver that.
2) Work-life balance is not something to be optimised for. It’s far more effective to work on work-life harmony, where both fuel each other, rather than sacrifice the limited time.
3) Most people make the mistakes of getting stuck in the “build trap”. It’s more important to focus on figuring on what to build, and then measure what you build.
