Top takeaways from the podcast with @Ishan739 and @warikoo :

1) Timing to start entrepreneurship is not nearly as important as intent. If you start it for the wrong reasons, any time is "too early".
2) The value proposition of college is first and foremost signalling, indication of value to help companies make hiring decisions. Replacing college will require a new form of signalling, combined with a more efficient learning system.
3) Compounding follows a exponential curve of returns, and only the ones how make piece with the pennies initially, will get to make millions as the returns do the magic. Patience is key.
4) Purpose is something to be grown, refined and solidified over time. Don't try to write a manifesto for yourself in your early 20s, and then get bound by it for no good reason. Explore, test and iterate on your career.

Notes from the podcast with @sid_warrier and @devduttmyth :

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.

Notes from the podcast with @BeerBicepsGuy and @garyvee :

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.

Notes from the fireside on #TheMakersSummit2021 with @VarunRamamurthy @rajeshjain and Adarsh Nair:

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.

Notes from the session with @AnkitiB and @ashishdave on #TheMakersSummit2021 :

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?

Notes from panel discussion on #TheMakersSummit2021 with @nikhilkamathcio @ponnappa @smilingsnehal and @VijayArisetty hosted by @miten:

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.

Notes from #theranveershow with @nasdaily and @BeerBicepsGuy :

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.
