Why just ask people in IT? Also ask the owner of the restaurant they visit, the Swiggy guy who delivers food to them thrice a week, the mutual fund distributor they consult, the real estate developer they’re going to buy a flat from and their 2 house helps. Because all of them…

One of the many negative effects of AI that I see? It’s turning smart, clear thinking, logical software programmers into dumb prompters. AI is going to ruin at least one generation of software developers.

Human Therapy vs. Technology: The Debate No User Cares About Every week, I see people arguing: “Therapists can’t be replaced by tech.” “What about the human connection?” “But AI will do it faster, cheaper, better!” As a founder straddling both worlds, I can tell you this:…

There’s an odd breakdown in the world of tech right now. Many seekers. No finders. Thousands of engineers are struggling to land the jobs they want. Hundreds of employers are giving up on hiring and outsourcing work to software services companies because they can’t find decent…

Here’s why AI therapists today fail miserably, but also why they will eventually succeed spectacularly. The first time I saw a psychologist was many years ago, when I was still a student in the US. This is what happened. I walk in, sit down, and she asks, “How are you?” I saw,…

When I was in college, there was this one friend in our group who always had “tips” on how to attract girls. You know what kind of tips: what to wear, how to act cool, cheesy pickup lines… all sorts of crap. I’m frankly embarrassed to even think about it now. But here’s the…

Ironically, most startup events that claim to bring founders together are utterly useless. Too much show. Not enough depth. MV Day was a fabulous exception to all the above. It was a rare space where founders, investors, and operators actually spoke like humans. No posturing.…

Doing a startup because you want to “be your own boss” is one of the worst reasons to start up. And, yes, that’s the reason I hear most often from fellow founders. Because when you run a startup, you don’t have one boss. You have a hundred bosses. Your customers are your boss.…

We named our daughter’s very first toy Marie Curie. We wanted her to have idols other than princesses and barbie dolls. It worked. By age 5, she could recite the entire periodic table. But there was a problem. I simply couldn’t find other female scientists with that kind of…

Newton almost didn’t publish his Principia Mathematica. He was afraid people would laugh at him. Edmund Halley, a fierce believer, didn’t just convince Newton to publish it. He edited it, sponsored it, and paid for the publication. Then Halley did something outrageous. He used…

All the biggest hospitals in Pune - why do you never pick up the damn phone? The bigger the hospital, the lesser the probability they will answer the phone. And they call themselves “Patient First”. They sure test the patience of anyone trying to contact them 😳
