India’s most disruptive consumer startups may not be in apparel or food, but the 200,000 Cr beauty and personal care market Giants like Unilever, P&G, and Nestle dominate. Lux, Ponds, and Lakme have been around for not five years but five decades. New age brands like MamaEarth,…
Tata Electronics is setting up in Assam, driving 27,000 jobs North East has highly literate states like Tripura/ Mizoram, but poor infra and job opportunities Many young people migrate to metros like Bangalore/Pune Big business setup needed to transform high potential region
India could be unrecognizable from what it is today by the time I turn 40, just like it has become so different from when I was 20 Compounding happens slowly, then suddenly
India has about 9 Cr businesses, one for every 15 people Of these, an incredible 80% or 7 Cr are single-person operations Largest group is retail trade or our kiranawalas, accounting for 2 Cr of these solo operations India has deep entrepreneurship, just not as large firms

Vishwanathan Anand is now a chess legend not just because he is India's first GM, but is our biggest catalyst His is the shoulder on which so many young chess players stand His generation put India on the map, he will enable this generation to greatness
EU providing better visa rules to Indians is a sign of the inevitability of India's progress India is now larger than all European economies barring one + a huge partner Visa rules will become better all across for Indians over the next decade Visa-free going to be more common
Jane Street hired from IIT B/K/D in '22 at an incredible 4 Cr Talented 21 y/o were probably employed to help Jane Street profit 10K Cr in 2023 from Indian options traders Traders overall lost 40K Cr+, Jane Street printed money IITian record salaries were rounding errors
Limiting education to the narrow pursuit of making money is the biggest disservice you can do to yourself
