The biggest problem with the influencer industry & the creator economy is the assumption that
1. All content is good or useful for someone
2. People want more content

🧠🧠People don't want more .They want quality ,relevant and easily accessible content .

Quality is key ,becoming an expert isn't about reading 4-5 articles and posting a thought piece...because trust me while I am sure i have my take on this falls fashion collection ,i am really not sure i should be expressing it! 👉And neither is talking about 'the best investments for you when you are in your 20s' ( because the ones who usually got that right ,don't try to build a career as youtube financial advisors in their 30s...just saying !)— % &

Real world: I ate momos today.

LinkedIn:
Rome wasn't built on a day. Every day, on my way back from work, I contribute in supporting the survival of migrant population in my city - I devour in a plate of momos relishing the taste of India's number one street food. This is not only an act of patriotism but also a measure to build the $2.7 Bn (Source: BusinessLine) momo market in India. 97% of this market is unorganised. The onset of the pandemic has forced these migrants out of business, and made way for D2C packaged food brands into homes.

Do you eat street-side momos or order from e-commerce?

Similar to life isn't it !

Unsolicited life advice 'Don't Do Epic Shit !'

It may make you feel lighter ; but you will just clog up the toilet for others with all your waste & yes..it will stink for sometime at least !

Just pass regular motions - healthy and happy.

Next time you get ambitious and then stressed out or 'feel lost' when someone tells you to 'make an impact','go and leave your mark on the world 🌎' & 'do epic shit' ; sit down and ask yourself honestly just one question- 'how many times or how frequently have you used something he or she has made ,has done or created?'

Not said but 'done'?

Our world is full of storytellers. And stories are a beautiful thing as long as you remember fact from fiction.
Everything else is just the business of Fame and Money , at literally the expense of your $$, time and worse.. your insecurities.

If you genuinely believe that what you are doing can really change the world...
You are thinking too much of yourself,
You are thinking too less of the world 🌏 !

We all in small or big ways change things.
But even the biggest change is transient, the world moves on .
It's only our ego which stays at the same place.

Prediction:
1.Amazon , Google & Apple will compete in health tech but initially in different segments.
2.Amazon & Google will compete in edtech but initially in different markets.
3.Streaming & content will continue be an all out war but with lots of consolidation.
4.Disney could be the surprise player if it can merge online ,offline & it's different verticals effectively.

The young have all the answers.

As you grow older you have lots of questions.

Someday ,hopefully someday we have the courage to drop both ...and just live !

Everyone wants to be someone , reach somewhere,hustle or even 'find' peace.

Imagination, a quality which were supposed to empower us ,has become our biggest weakness!
We are so caught up in a future and past idea of our self ,our life that we forget that the only reality is NOW. And in this disconnect very few find peace.

Perhaps the key 🗝️ in life is not doing more. ..or even less but- Living ,Accepting and celebrating US in the NOW 🥳🎉.

To the youngsters who are constantly pressured by the 'hustle' culture and 'leaving a dent in the universe'.

Realize this..if everyone leaves a dent in the universe ,we end up with a pretty damaged world and perhaps extremely damaged people.

Happiness & Love may be unsexy but far more critical !
