#VGSiddhartha case is a classic case of most home grown entrepreneurs. Build a business from scratch, create wealth,jobs,brand name-everything that Indians aspire for but a thankless society & anti business govt ensures that it all comes to nought. Lesson 4 budding entrepreneurs!

@tweepul @DronaHQ @Mendix Just use @apppresser with WordPress! I'd go with a headless CMS like @strapijs in the backend with @framework7io for the client - but will require some JS coding & CLI work. Or search for cordova on codecanyon to see if what you need is already there & ask seller to tweak.

Be skeptical of promise of high returns. Warren Buffett himself has delivered ‘only’ 20% annualised return over last 6 decades.
The real minority India are not Muslims or Christians or Northeasterners. They are those with nuanced thoughts badgered by simplistic, high-decibel minds.
Insightful. As i've oft said, what differentiates a startup from a regular business is a repeatable sales model. And a big market. And defensibility (which buys you time).
What is one article you've read that is so good it's worth reading again?
2) At a high level: You have found product market fit when you can repeatably acquire customers for a lower cost than what they are worth to you. This is not earth shattering. This is a simple business statement. Are your costs lower than your revenues? Are you profitable?
Tuesday Tweet Thread time! Today's is special. 5 pieces of programming advice: write tests, think in data structures, learn functional programming, check everything and bail on bad, and use "why" not "what" comments. Plus a small totally open $1,000 programming contest. O.k. ...
13) Often it's easier to upsell customers than to reduce costs (when already costs are already pretty optimized), so if you are not profitable with your customer acquisition channels, a common "pivot" is to upsell or expand your offering.
14/ Would have to pick a business model that is consistent with the product and community, but memberships, tipping, and in-app purchases are all models I'd explore.
Unpopular opinion: you will not buy you way into being secure. No matter what any vendor says or promises, throwing money at a solution rarely gives the results you think. Invest in people. Invest in engineering and build build build.

What’s an app / product you use at work that you can’t live without? Here’s a way to answer that question: I would be very disappointed if [fill in the blank] no longer existed. Reply to fill in the blank with the product’s name.
Many apps built atop smart contract platforms are likely to be "incomplete contracts," meaning they will require ongoing human input & decision making. I wrote about contract theory as a framework for classifying crypto projects and how they scale:
8/ To quote @rorysutherland: ”The meaning and significance we attach to something is felt in direct proportion to the expense with which it is communicated” Essentially, costliness carries meaning. e.g. Asking someone out face to face carries more meaning than on Tinder.
16/ A lot of the ideas in this case study are taken from @rorysutherland's book, Alchemy. I'd certainly recommend it 👉
@free_thinker @jackerhack 1. Proof that UIDAI does not allow death reporting 2. Proof that Airtel assigns number to someone else after 90 days 3. Proof that Aadhaar info update requires biometric auth 4. Proof that Aadhaar info update not possible for dead people Hence LHS = RHS
Bain & Co's Radhika Sridharan says "sachet" economy continues to be relevant for India. I must add the other, upper end must be the ""sashay" economy 😄. Sidewalk to catwalk! #marketing #FortuneIndiaNext500

Anyone who does not distinguish between wealth generation via risk taking and rent-seeking will be blocked here. CEOs are rent seekers --so are B-School types. Innovators and entrepreneurs are risk-takers. Small business owners are risk-takers. We need risk takers. #Skininthegame
