50 people in a restaurant can sit without a mask but a single person in a car can’t. No argument can ever justify this for me 🤯🤯

IIT Roorkee student has quietly released a Tiktok clone called “Mitron TV” a month back and it has not only achieved 5mn installs, it is now no.2 android app in India thus raking in half a million installs per day. Name of the app is the growth hack here IMO

Small story: We use @Razorpay for our payouts. Saturday late night we ran out of balance as I missed the email alert. We have regular payouts using that balance. To our shock, our bank was under maintenance that night for 8 hours. We were wondering what to do. 1/5

Bangalore builds hype, Delhi builds dhandha🤪
#MintCharts | Once Bengaluru used to be India's startup capital but not anymore. Between 2019 and 2021, Delhi added 1.7 times more startups than Bengaluru.

This is where India spends. Below is July's UPI data across merchants. Food and food related spends are the highest (inline with our GDP data). And debt/EMI payment is a huge part of family spends. Hat tip @artijourno

State of engg hiring in this short chat I had with another founder. It isn’t easy to retain or hire engineers. At junior level almost no one values ESOPs, they all need cash

A founder offered 0.2% equity as esop to a potential senior hire. Fairly decent, till you read the fine print - 0.2% of the esop pool 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ such a scam (and also refuses to disclose the esop pool) - esop policies beyond twitter universe of 1-2% startups are just an eyewash

IPO frenzy isn’t slowing down: little know company Latent Analytics has been OVERSUBSCRIBED 326X. HNI’s alone did 850x. This amounts to bid of over ONE LAKH CRORE. More than 2x of Policybazaar & 6x of what Paytm could gather. Who can explain what led to this frenzy?

I had my US visa appointment yday at the consulate. I didn't carry my phone and bag as it isn't allowed inside. I forgot that I was wearing @UltrahumanHQ ring and they refused to let me in. I came out and realized there is no one I could hand that over. Confused what to do next..

Find me another founder who will honestly talk about their market plateauing and behind the scenes of headline numbers. For me @Nithin0dha is a legend
In India, we have hit a plateau in terms of new user additions & revenue. We are still not seeing a drop as our markets are holding up. But if markets fell, the impact will be as much as RH in revenue. I keep reminding myself & our team of all of this to temper expectations.😃7/7

I don’t understand what’s the burning need to buy an EV scooty when the tech is still at POC stage. The premium for EV you pay will not give ROI for 4 years so even running cost is a poor benchmark. Better to wait and let early enthusiasts help make it suitable for majority

Paytm is the preferred choice for most top end payment consumers in India. Look at the DAU data (source Appannie):
1. Paytm: 2.6mn DAU
2. PhonePe: 0.7mn DAU
3. Gpay: 0.5mn DAU
@Paytm is multiple times ahead of others. Top 10% of India go for Paytm @vijayshekhar

ESOPs are taxed at the time of exercising making it the biggest reason for its non-adoption. @indiagold is one among few startup whose employees won't have to pay tax at the time of exercising. If you work at a startup, please ask your employer if they have this unique exemption

🚨Strange conversation with a traffic cop today: I was stopped citing red light jump. I was 100% certain I crossed stop line while the light was green. Thankfully I had a dashcam and I showed the clip to the cop. He blamed me for wasting “his” time after realising he was wrong 🤣

"Only Fintech in India" which has a SFB license is @bharatpeindia - they have a real chance of building a true vertically integrated Neo Bank and not just a UX enhanced App interface. It takes Ashneer & his steallar team to pull this off. He is a true hustler

Recd $83 from someone in USA in my @HDFC_Bank account. They refused to credit as they didnt accept the reason code. I asked them to return it back. They returned $23, deducting $60 as charges. I don’t even have the patience to fight but tweeting it to just vent my anger 🤬

New founders asking how many ESOPs to give to their Top Hires OR employees asking how much to ask (be sure you are a top hire :) - here is a quick reference table. This is a liberal ESOP table so only refer this for your best hires. Use this to reduce CTC cost upfront

Hope Neo Bank PMs are asking these people why are they lining up to enter a branch. We can get blinded by UPI numbers, internet penetration, twitter bubble and fintech app downloads but onground reality even today is different. And this is not “Bharat”. It’s a large urban city

In poor taste @foldmoney_ why release an app if you can’t take the feedback
Yup dragging the hard work of a team in public, especially the one you didn't pay for, without understanding how the product works is much easier than reading a blog post.

One way is to crib about google's monopoly and the other is to build a product to take them head on. Have been using @MapmyIndia Mappls regularly as it is far better than Google Maps. 3D views, visual intersection view, camera alert, road speed limit makes it highly useful

Having seen @Paytm from inside and outside, they will come out lot stronger and better. All leading Banks line up to partner with One97 (Paytm). IMO, this will give One97 a much bigger opportunity to become a preferred platform for multiple banks' offerings in a single app

Irresponsible, anecdotal and unfounded reporting doesn’t help the already tough hiring environment in startups
Indian tech firms are expected to hike salaries or counter offers by 60-120% in 2022 as they seek to attract and retain talent with niche skills.
