If your well wishers and friends don’t know how or what you feel then maybe it’s time to move on. In a room full of opportunities if they don’t call out your name they are not part of your team.#moveon #lifelessons

BIG NEWS- Drinking mixture containing cow urine made mandatory at Gangotri Temple.

@vijaythottathil @SirKazamJeevi Wow

54.2k crores in unaccounted spending by Modi government- CAG! CAG of India, in its latest financial audit report for the year ended March 2025, has uncovered a series of grave accounting irregularities and systemic failures in the Union Government's financial management. Who will be held accountable?

The Spanish Government just released their exhaustive evaluation into Homeopathy as a medical practice in Spain. They concluded that Homeopathy is a scam and is going to phase it out of the country in due course. Meanwhile Indian Government, led by Narendra Modi's BJP has announced 3 years super specialist course for Homeopathy practitioners to become Homeopathic- Endocrinologist, Rheumatologist or Oncologist etc. This is what happens when unpad log (freeloaders who are not formally educated) are kept in positions of power. Nation goes to hell.

@ndtv The tariffs were paid by those who imported the goods into US. Care to explain how India gets $10-12 billion? Dolts

@IndianTechGuide Done hai sir…do it asap. Btw can we also have some level of accountability from politicians and those that get government contracts? Not 100% even 50% will do sir.

🚨 "India should aspire for 100% ethanol blending in the near future," says Minister Nithin Gadkari.

@Tara_Deshpande @TandooriCutlet Hahaha

Was this survey taken during Happy Hour at Gokul bar?

@nitin_gadkari I was contacted by someone from a call center to say that the charges have been reversed. There is no transaction reference given. No way for me to escalate this as well.

@nitin_gadkari on 29th March a complaint was registered for unauthorised deduction of till without travel. The complaint number is 17521317. The same was also update on the WhatsApp no provided. The call center is clue less. Can someone update and refund the money????

Delhi is a boiling pot right now. Parts of North India are way hotter than neighbor China. The reason is that Delhi is losing its green cover fast. That's because, for example, Over 12,000 trees were cut in Delhi between Jan 2021-Aug 2023. That's 12 trees everyday, for projects like Central Vista & Housing redevelopment. If you look at the bigger picture, Delhi lost about 60K trees between 2015-2021. Things got so bad that in 2025, SC had to intervene and order that no more than 50 trees can be cut without the approval of Central Empowered Committee (CEC). So every time I see Mr Modi planting a symbolic tree, I find it extremely cute.

Every day (if not more frequently) @ECISVEEP is introducing novel instructions. Why? Is this the first election after Indian independence?

@darab_farooqui @nandtara Wow

I have said it before, I will say it again. Judiciary is the biggest problem in India right now. We can fight RSS. But how do we fight the judiciary?

@barandbench How ?

Justice Sharma: The applicant (Kejriwal) has created a win win situationn for himself.

#Breaking Delhi HC to pronounce today it's judgement on Arvind Kejriwal and others' plea seeking recusal of justice Swarana Kanta Sharma in excise policy case. Judgemen at 2:30PM. @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal

@LiveLawIndia Can the common man judge or who would actually? Asking for a friend please

"The competence of a judge is decided by the higher court, not the litigant...a politician cannot be permitted to cross the boundary and cannot judge judicial competence" Read more: tinyurl.com/y7ab6w7v

@Joydas @SauravDassss Happened before…as they say in law…it has precedent .

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma is not biased. She herself heard the case of bias implied against Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma and defended Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma and then came to the conclusion that Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma is not biased

@Joydas @SauravDassss Hahahaha

@surya_samajwadi WhatsApp pe yehi likha tha…..forgive him

A startup founder walked into our office 8 months ago. He had just received a term sheet. He was smiling. 𝗛𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗲𝘁. He had started a SaaS company in 2022 out of Bengaluru. HR automation software for mid-size companies. The kind of product that solves a real problem, grows quietly on word of mouth, and suddenly has ₹2Cr ARR before the founder figured out what kind of company he's building. Four co-founders. One of them had a cousin in the UK who believed early. Fourteen employees. A sales cycle that had gotten shorter every quarter. And now, an institutional investor sitting across the table with a term sheet and a 30-day diligence clock. He came to us for pre-fundraise prep. Routine work, he said. Just make sure everything looks clean before diligence starts. We started pulling threads. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲. One of his four angel investors was an NRI. ₹8 lakhs wired from a UK account directly into the company's current account. Clean transaction. Proper purpose. Totally normal. Except the FC-GPR was never filed. When a foreign investor puts money into an Indian company, the company has 30 days to report it to the RBI. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. It is a mandatory filing that creates the legal record of the foreign investment existing at all. The filing had never happened. The ₹8 lakhs was sitting on the books as revenue. Not equity. Not foreign investment. Revenue. Because nobody had told the accountant what it actually was. Eighteen months of compounding misclassification. One undisclosed FEMA violation. The institutional investor's lawyers would have found it in the first week. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁. Four co-founders. Equity decided in 2022 over a long dinner in Koramangala and a lot of optimism. 40-30-20-10. Everyone agreed. Everyone shook hands. The shareholder agreement was two pages, downloaded from a legal templates website, signed but never stamped, with blank spaces where the vesting schedule should have been. No cliff. No vesting. No bad leaver provisions. One co-founder, the 20% holder, had left 8 months ago. Good guy. Took a product role at a larger startup. Wished everyone well. Still held his 20% because there was no mechanism to do anything else. No buyback right. No reverse vesting trigger. Nothing in writing that anticipated the possibility of someone leaving. The institutional investor was about to own a cap table with a ghost on it. A friendly ghost. A ghost who had no involvement in the HR automation product, no obligation to vote helpfully, and no legal reason to give his shares back. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗦𝗧. The company had been claiming ITC on a set of vendor invoices for 14 months. The vendors were real. The services were real. The invoices were legitimate. The vendors had not been filing their own GST returns consistently. Under GST rules, your ITC claim is only valid if your vendor has actually deposited the tax with the government. 𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁. ₹4.2 lakhs in disputed ITC sitting undetected in the books. The previous accountant had been filing returns on time every month. Just not reconciling the GSTR-2A against the claimed credits. On-time filing. Inaccurate filing. There is a difference. Most founders don't know the difference exists until someone shows them the gap. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆. The company was an LLP. Fine structure for a services business. Perfectly legitimate. Tax efficient in certain scenarios. The founder had set it up on his CA's advice in 2020 when the business was a freelance operation. The business was no longer a freelance operation. It had 4 co-founders, 14 employees, real revenue, and an institutional investor who wanted to issue ESOPs to the team as part of the deal. LLPs cannot issue ESOPs. There is no framework for it. The investor's term sheet had an ESOP pool as a closing condition. The entity could not legally fulfill the condition it was being asked to fulfill. Nobody had caught this because nobody had looked at where the entity needed to go, only where it had come from. And here's what we did: • 𝗙𝗖-𝗚𝗣𝗥 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗕𝗜. Late filing, penalty calculated, compounding application filed, resolution obtained. • 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵. Vesting schedules drafted retroactively with co-founder consent. • The departed co-founder, still friendly, agreed to a structured buyback at a fair price. 4 weeks of negotiation. 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱. • 𝗚𝗦𝗧 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟰 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀. Amended returns filed where possible. Differential liability calculated and paid. Vendor communication sent. • 𝗟𝗟𝗣 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆. Fresh incorporation, asset transfer, employee contracts reissued, bank accounts migrated, GST registration updated, new PAN, new everything. Running parallel to everything else. It took us roughly 5 months to do this clean up. And total cost? Significant. But not as significant as what diligence would have cost. The deal closed. And here is what it looks like now: The investor got a clean data room. The ESOP pool was issued on schedule. The founder is now 6 months into his post-investment growth phase. He came back to us last month. Introduced us to another founder in his portfolio network. "𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴," 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱. "𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱." That is the job. Not the filing. Not the paperwork. Not the compliance checklist. The job is finding what the founder doesn't know exists before the person across the table finds it first. Because the person across the table is paid to find it. And they will. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗠 𝗺𝗲. Just tell me where you are, entity type, round stage, cross-border exposure if any and 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀. Most founders who reach out think they're fine. Half of them aren't. The ones who find out from us sleep better than the ones who find out from a VC's lawyer.

@VinayDokania So so so true…try building anything it takes your sweat and blood. I am so glad that our past leaders were educated, had foresight, could visualise and build a future for all of us. Salute 🫡

When Nehru ji took the oath as PM, India was a nation of "nothing"-scarred by Partition, battling acute food shortages, and operating on a shoestring budget of barely ₹500 Cr. Yet, amidst the struggle for basic survival, he possessed the audacity to look toward the stars. He didn't just govern; he engineered a civilization from scratch. From the foundations of ISRO and the Atomic Energy Commission to the hallowed halls of the IITs and IIMs, he built the "Temples of Modern India" when we could barely afford the brick and mortar. 🚀🏗️ To lay the groundwork for a nuclear-capable, space-faring, and tech-driven superpower while the world expected us to fail is a feat of unmatched statesmanship. As Maj Gen CS Dhawan rightly notes- there can never be a second Nehru. The architect of our modern identity. 🫡🔥 #Nehru #ISRO #IIT

Can someone ask the women of this country if they are hurt? All the males deciding for them is laughable 🤷🏼‍♂️
