The best investors are those
who value an entrepreneur's time over theirs.

HOW TO BUILD A BUSINESS?

- When I approached them with an idea, they asked to come back with a prototype.
- When I went with a prototype, they asked come back with a tech co-founder.
- When I went with a prototype and co-founder, they asked to come back with some traction. 1000-2000 daily actives.
- When I went back with traction, they asked for more traction. 5-10k daily actives.
- When I went back with 12k daily actives, they asked for revenue.
- When I got some revenue going, they asked to see more revenue.

When I got more revenue, I realized I didn't need them anymore. 😛

Going through the days
when both investors
and dates treat me
the same way.

They love to hang out
with me as long as
I don't ask them
to commit.

Our end was like
end of a funding.
At first, I was helpless;
then it made me self-reliant.

Indian research scholars and scientists= We are out of fund for research. Help.........
Indian government= Gita and Quran have all the truths. Further research isn't needed.

अरबों रूपये बरबाद करके चुनावों के समर में,
वादे किये जाते हैं जनता से महँगाई कम करने के।।

Polity isn't humanity...
Politeness is.

-

The whole Shark Tank India made us believe the ultimate way to get money in a start-up is funding and that is celebrated as an achievement.
How many of you believe that's an immature concept?

-

No media house is a pious institution. Each one of them are loyal to their source of funding and to the protectors of their existence.
