So, nine months ago, our team didn't have a clue about ACH, much less fintech in the US.

As of this month? @payswifter has processed over $500k in GTV from B2C, ACH cannabis payments in the United States. How did we get here?

#ach #fintech #cannabis #yc

Storytime. 🧵 🕰 Psst - here's a picture of the @payswifter founding team.

Keep our faces in mind as you read on. Upcoming fun story of how we fumbled our first pitch, got turned down by all the API providers YOU probably use, and built stuff we get to play w now!

At the Shanti Nagar UPHC in Bangalore. Waiting to see if we'll get a jab. About 20 people here, 2/3 below 45.

The center hasn't opened yet.

In a grim discouraging sign, there's a sheet of paper stuck to the notice board outside.

"Vaccination only for 45 and above"

... About 40 ppl here now. Still waiting.

Do you want to distract yourself? Here is a great question. Try to answer it first without looking it up?

So, I was watching Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom with my son today. In one episode, the elves and fairies go to the moon in a rocket....

1/n Once the rocket has left Earth's atmosphere, the rocket passengers experience zero gravity.

Ben, the elf, starts to float

Holly, the fairy, tries to fly using her wings, but is unable to. Then Ben's dad, Mr. Elf tells her

"Holly, your wings won't work in zero gravity"

For the last few days Kabir has been telling us the story of the leaking Antarctic Pipe

Its a riveting and gripping story, involving the Octonaughts, his nanny, his playmates from the sandpits, our Baleno car and a polar bear. In short the pipe above the Antarctic has stopped working.

Its blocked. The plumber can't fix it.

(our pipes are 'blocked' air quotes so Kabir can't leave the tap running)

Seems like this phase of the lockdown is ending slowly. Here are some very local, very online things that helped me get through the lockdown. Parent-friendly, Koramangala friendly.

1/n Food: I got the OPOS 5 min cookbook from Amazon via Prime Reading. (so... free I think?). Lifesaver. I believe the man who started this movement and his FB group aren't well liked? No matter. OPOS style cooking saves TIME.

Highly recommend. No learning curve. Noobfriendly.

Sitting across Uber/Ola union drivers, negotiating strike demands, talking to @nandiniv about contract workers, that's how GIGI was born.
150 million gig workers in India have no access to benefits.
This changes today.
We're building benefits for the future of work! @nandiniv GIGI is a fintech company whose focus is on building really simple, micro, financial products that make a huge impact on the lives of those working in India's informal sector.

Quick thread - work productivity mantra/life hack to maximize time utilization.

tldr: Break up the day into ACT-REACT-ACT blocks if you're a very senior manager or owner

Break up the day into REACT-ACT-REACT blocks if you're in client service, have dependencies, mid-junior team What does this mean?

Essentially you ACT to take ownership and control of your time.

In this block you do what adds MOST value to your book.

Read, write, learn, a 1v1 meeting where you're the listener not giver, a jam session where someone is there to help YOU, etc.

Women's day wishes for brands:

1. Nykaa - you're awesome. Start a subscription box.

2. W - NOBODY WEARS TASSELS TO A WORK MEETING. STOP MAKING KURTAS WITH BOBBLES AND TASSELS.

3. Zivame - MOAR swimsuits.

4. NO ONE IN INDIA MAKES SENSIBLE WORK/FLAT SHOES Warehouse, Westside, Nuon, Melange, Allen Solly, And (other Indian high street western wear brands).

By the time I can afford your clothes, I can't fit into a size 8 or go to work in a mini dress. Make knee length dresses for women with hips. Yes.
