I've seen founders in TN struggling to raise. here are some pointers for you to help. while money is available everywhere, wrapping up a raise quickly so you can get back to concentrating on the product works best for the startup.

/1
please don't raise when you're desperate for money. especially if this is your first raise. always have backups when you start. you're more likely to do mistakes, accept dumb money and even worse, bad money and bad people in your cap table.

Is #Tesla really profitable ? (Why it will fail in India-thread)

The only way a tiny profit exists is by selling ZEV credits. Without zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) and other regulatory credits, they wouldn't be able to report four consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability, (1/8) a milestone that met the qualifications for Tesla to join the S&P 500. In California &at least 13 other states, any auto manufacturer who wants to sell their cars into that state must sell a certain amount of electric/hybrid electric/other ZEVs. (2/8)

#Tesla in India calls for a thread: Read in detail

Have you seen a more ugly interior with a sea of plastic for a 55k USD Model 3 ? The 100 USD Screen is not even built it. It's bolted in. Has a loud cabin at 120 kmph. Put 3k USD more and you get a luxury Lexus. (1/10) Sea of plastic filled tesla model 3 interior So much for being a fan boy eh ? Lexus is a premium luxury car with far superior build quality, fit and finish, rich materials, better options, and a quieter cabin at 120 to 130 kmph than the aforementioned Tesla. “Premium” should stand for more than a price tag. (2/10)

@airtelindia can chose to clarify this publicly without asking me to shoot a DM or they can choose to be silent and send me an automated message like you always used to do. I noticed reduced 4G speeds always and nothing seemed to improve. After a few days of..(1/n) ..constant calls and emails, their customer representative came on call and told me Puducherry doesn't have proper 4G network towers for Airtel and they are constructing the same and that's why there were network + data speed issues. Then today I received a message..(2/n)

@kfc @KFC_India Twice when I bought from you using UPI, the amount was deducted from my account but it didn't reflect there. Either way, I gave my contact details for the KFC branch to contact me that if it comes back so that I can transfer it back again. @kfc @KFC_India @kfc @KFC_India But, now they are calling me and asking me for my bank statement from 04/02/2020. I don't know if it's advisable to share my personal information. When I asked for an official KFC email id, they refused and asked me to share it to KFC.jipmer@sapphirefoods.in Image
