I sell for enterprises and my ICPs are not on Insta, hence will stick to LinkedIn ads Meanwhile Insta Reels 👇

@vinod_shankar Congrats ji. For more decades to come. 🚀

The petroleum ministry published a long defence of E20 this week. The most revealing sentence in it was not about fuel, engines, or mileage. It was about banks.

Hey, what series are you watching these days? Hey, what’s this new watch? 😏

Bangalore govt: We have cleared the footpaths. Bike riders: Thank you 😽

Founders: I discover customer needs by scrapping Reddit. It’s a goldmine That goldmine 👇

@nikunjtaneja_ Lol

anthropic’s expenses are in dollar terms why would they bill in inr 😭

@Sparkz7Teen Naah I will pay the GST. Gimme an India pricing. I don’t want my subscription to be pegged to dollars.

@dharmeshba You want them to pay GST? No way they are doing it.

Then bill us in INR.

@istupidpreneur So we are paying more than $100?

@dharmeshba they have actually started doing that.

@anulagarwal This today’s dollar value

@anulagarwal So when dollar to INR value changes does your billing change or stay constant?

Anthropic does bill you in INR, what are you on about?

@kansalyashu Nope. I got nothing against Swiggy.

@dharmeshba Hope you haven’t added any tip etc, also you can’t consider discounts

Spanish Ice Latte from Beanlore (HSR): Swiggy (with One sub): Rs. 362 Ownly: Rs. 191 Food delivery disruption is inevitable.

One of the perks of what I do is meeting really smart, cool people who are solving so many problems in India. I think that alone makes all the time and effort worth it. So when @thesakshishukla asked if I could come and meet a few folks on a Saturday, it took me barely 5 seconds to tell her I'll be there. Would love to see you all there! Adding the registration link in the comments. P.S I am not an expert on all the things Sakshi has mentioned, but I can surely share our internal processes, thoughts on how we evaluate companies, how we approach investing, and our view on the Indian markets. 😃

@pHequals7 (so true)²

so true

Following a brand on social media does not mean someone is ready to buy. Often, it means: "I'm considering" People follow brands as reminders, research objects, wishlists, future options, aesthetic references, or because a friend started the brand. They may follow for months before buying. Sometimes they stop actively seeking updates after purchase because the brand has moved from discovery to WhatsApp updates or marketplace recall. This makes the "follow" button easy to misread. It is not always loyalty. It is not always intent. It is sometimes a bookmark. A person may follow a sunscreen brand because summer is coming. A clothing brand because an event might come up. A shoe because one day the right sale may arrive. A homegrown brand because the story feels interesting but the need is not immediate. The brand sits in the back of the mind until life creates a reason: a wedding, trip, wardrobe gap, salary credit, sale, skin issue, or recommendation request. The best brands understand this "moment" of purchase well.
