Boeing is in trouble, and a deal it struck around 25 years ago is to be blamed.

What?!! 👀👇🏽 Image
You see, Boeing started as an "engineers" company.

But then in 1997, the aircraft manufacturer merged with McDonnell Douglas and things started to change.

The new entity started focusing more on affordability, rather than quality.
The company wanted to create shareholder value now, and not build quality aircraft.

And this shift in company culture started jeopardizing the business too.

But a company can still recover from an impact on business.

The RBI made ₹2.20 lakh crores profit in FY23!

How on earth did it achieve this? 🧵👇🏽 Image
Well, through something called ‘seigniorage’.

Think about it this way—

If the RBI prints a ₹100 note and gives it to a bank for circulation.

But the only cost the RBI incurred was probably ~₹2 to print the note.

What changed?

🧵👇🏼 Image
2023 hasn’t been kind to ZestMoney–

The funding dried up;
PhonePe backed away from the acquisition;
And even the 3 founders resigned in May.

The reason?
Well, the business model itself.

See, if you made a purchase via ZestMoney, they’d take care of the bill at no cost– and you’d have to pay it back in installments over 3–6 months without interest.

And the company made money in 3 ways —

In 1995 Steve Jobs became a billionaire. But..

It wasn't because of Apple😲! Surprising, right?

Well, here's the story of what happened 🧵👇🏽

(Like❤️& RT🔄️) Image
See, the story starts in 1986 when after being forced out of Apple, Steve Jobs acquired Pixar from filmmaker George Lucas for a mere $5 million. And further invested another $5 million in the company. Image
At that time, Pixar was just a fledgling computer graphics division of Lucasfilm. However, Jobs saw the potential in the technology and the creative minds behind it!

But, the road to success was far from smooth for Pixar. Image
