With Arattai, there are two sides - one we control, and one we don’t. We control the product side: improving the platform, technology, and features. That’s our commitment, and your feedback continues to guide us. 🙏 What we don’t control is adoption and ongoing usage. Our hope…

As we wrap up Zoholics across the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and beyond, we had the joy of recognizing some of our amazing customers across Europe with hand-crafted Cheriyal art pieces, rooted in tradition. ⁦@iSridhar⁩ ⁦@SuvishV⁩ youtu.be/oX9xKBc8UcI

How serious a company is about privacy can be measured by the number of trackers on its website. Each tracker is a Trojan horse. We get tracked, they get "free" stuff like analytics. Ulaa’s privacy report reveals how many trackers each site hides. What’s the worst you’ve seen?

Most browsers are built by ad companies. Ads and privacy don’t mix. That’s why we built Ulaa - a browser that protects your privacy. Great to see it getting noticed.

“We don’t own your data — you do.” “We will never sell your data.” “We will never run advertisements.” These lines come from our privacy commitment page. zoho.com/privacy-commit… It is a good idea to look at the privacy commitment across vendors. What do you see out there?

Capital means money to an investor. Capital means capability to a builder. Same word, different lens. That’s where the misalignment begins.

Investor-funded companies serve two masters - customers and investors. Their interests often misalign. Bootstrapped companies serve one - the customer. Alignment makes all the difference.

The power of demographics is often underestimated. Across history, countries grew fastest when their median age was between 25 and 40, the sweet spot of a large working-age population. The correlation between GDP growth and Median Age is undeniable (see chart). Most developed…

An ounce of gold is almost at $3500. In 1971, the day before the US got off the gold standard, an ounce of gold was $35. Since then, the dollar lost 99% of its value against gold. There is no stopping this money-printing train.

Nvidia, the company, with valuation at ~$4.3 Trillion, is valued higher than India, the country, with GDP at ~$4.2 Trillion. One of them is overvalued. We saw this movie before during the dot com bubble when Cisco’s valuation exceeded India’s GDP back then.

We've built a Large Language Model (LLM) from scratch. We are calling it Zia LLM. Zia LLM is purpose-built ground-up for businesses. To start with, we are launching three models - 1.3B, 2.6B and 7 Billion parameter models. This is the beginning of a long journey ahead. Doing…

Even a system full of smart people can be meta-stupid. As one concrete example, look at what happened at prestigious universities. The smart people end up supplying the endless rationalizations to keep the meta-stupidity from being challenged and that reinforces…

If this is the best search engines can ever be and this the worst LLMs will ever be, the future is very clear.

A big change in my daily routine lately is that I don’t use search engines much. I've shifted my questions to AI, which has made me far more productive. There's no more sifting through irrelevant, SEO-driven blue links buried under a barrage of ads. I am surprised Google is…
