I cannot wrap my head around the sheer scale of anything TATA! We got access to the beta version of the TataNeu Super App. Anand & I have been waiting to buy a new TV for ages. Still running on one we picked up at Frys or BestBuy in Portland or something 12 yrs ago. #storytime
Full disclosure. I work with them professionally. But this is the frustrated 'am I ever going to care enough to buy a TV' customer tweeting. Downloaded the app, entered phone # What happened next was MAGIC. Something all of us read in data threads & inspiring keynotes everywhere

Ladies, your 2022 reminder > if you have the appetite, there's never been a better time
There are so many problems that actually need help, problems that are not 10 min grocery delivery :) Women's health, childcare, insurance, so many unseen, unattended healthcare areas! If you're passionate about any of these with a drive for the long haul, the field is WIDE open!

TGIF. My feed is all hiring/(un)employment again. Can't tell you how many conversations I've had these past Qtrs with young folks about quitting/moving/finding meaning in life
No better time for a good think than the weekend. Here's a few things we talk @ MSD #yetanotherthread1. Invest in your growth > Many startups promote people from within the co. than going out & hiring new folks. If you're bored doing what you do & it's gotten repetitive - ask for change, create new role, explore your strengths with a manager & create space to invest in growth

I'm on calls with Heads of Orgs - Tech, Product, Biz deciding on AI roadmaps every day. Here's a quick framework that I share with them as these decision-makers embark on this journey.
3 questions I urge you to ask as you embark on this journey on becoming AI-Native.
1 - What mission-critical problems can you fix with AI? Not 'nice to have' experiments but instant RoI?
Seeing value immediately is the best way to make large-scale cultural changes in your org with A.I. adoption. Build to create a winning mindset with A.I.

Discussing hiring & talent yesterday got me thinking … that there are so many parallels between fundraising, valuation, a founder’s journey & how people build their careers at startups. Folks wanting to join startups or thinking of long term careers here - a thread for you
1 - Play the long game
A majority of the talent I see in the pipeline today, optimize for short term. This is not how it felt even 4 years ago. Today - I rarely see talent come in with a strategy, plan & grow or come in, put in the time & then plot the long game.

As a founder, you spend 75% of your time building teams, hiring, building the kind of org that will help you scale the business. It was performance review season & every single startup group on whatsapp was on fire. Everyone's thinking about the future of talent / teams in India
