Few founders build businesses.
Few founders build narratives.

How a startup shapes up is a function of what the founders are building.

If you are treating your Career like a game or playing it like a game, also remember that every game has a Shelf Life.

You may get lucky once or twice, not always. Great careers are built in long-term.

In a world full of tweets that glorify entrepreneurship, startups, startup life and likes - there is nothing wrong doing a job that you like and makes you happy.

🦄 After Raise becomes unicorn, I will tell other early stage founders and startups that - Valuations don't matter, build something of real value.

Everyone wants to be an expert.
No one wants to learn.

People (in these times of instant gratification) may have lesser skills than what appears.

LinkedIn should rename itself - CFBR 🤓

Zero to One journey at startup doesn't mean raising a Seed or Series A as investment.

That outlook significantly lowers the perception of 0 to 1 journey. Ideally should be one that is linked to a metric of real value... $10 Mn ARR or 1% marketshare or similar.

Every product needs to have one core use-case, and it needs to work - every time. anytime. all the time.

Complexity attracts builders, simplicity attracts consumers. 👍

Building simpler products is a difficult and time consuming process.

Difference between a good & great product is usually - simplicity.

When building products... reminder that.,

Outcome > Execution > Effort > Ideas

Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen.. ⚡️😊

One of the advantages of working in/with a small organisation or startup v/s a large one is --

to do things or get things done, there are fewer people to convince.

And that's what I've learnt here - a place where everyone from the engineering team to the founder does customer support.

We still believe that we're super early at this, learning & iterating each day. Long way to go and lots of incredible things in store for our users 🚀

I usually don't share much about the company/sector that I work at; we are execution first / focussed.

It's been less than a year we launched Dhan - Lightning Fast ⚡️ and it feels good to move up the ranks (#40) among 250 odd players with a customer and product-first temperament.
