It’s better to be too direct with your feedback than let it fall flat on the person taking it. Running a business is a not a popularity contest with your teammates.

Paying influencers to peddle rumours against us has been happening for the last many months. But it won't shake our confidence, rather make us more determined towards of our mission of bringing Indian small business economy online. 👊

I was at Amzn early '00s when we lost 95% of our market cap. Later at FB I negotiated a down-round in '09, and then in '12 our stock dropped 50% post-IPO. I was on the board of a public company that went bankrupt (Borders) and a start-up that went under (Hello). Some lessons:

"Honesty is a core, core, core value. By honesty, I mean I want to be able to just be me. I never want to be in an environment or around people where I have to watch what I say." @naval

Happy Meesho Day, everyone! As we celebrate the sixth anniversary of Meesho, we can’t help but look back on how far we have since our Co Founders @viditaatrey (CEO) & @barnwalSanjeev (CTO) dreamt to launch a company that would impact the lives of millions through ecommerce.

In my experience the best founders develop a fighter mentality. Mark Zuckerberg was a fighter, and without that mentality Facebook would never have achieved its full potential. Here’s what I saw over 13 years working for Zuck:
