We just wrapped our annual performance review at Sahi. Nobody got promoted. And we love it. @Sahi_HQ is 2.5 years old, and we've consciously avoided internal job levels and fancy designations. Every engineer is a "Software Engineer." Every PM is a "Product Manager." That holds across the company. Having built and led 1000+ people organizations at @amazon and @Swiggy , I carry painful memories of what traditional org structures — levels, titles, ladders — actually do to a company. I've been guilty of it myself. At Swiggy, we created titles and new levels because we had to, as tools to attract and retain talent. It's a slippery slope. Once you anchor people to levels and titles, they start to optimize for them. I call this the "resume-driven development" phase: careers are built around what it takes to get promoted, not what the company actually needs. The machinery around promotions — peer feedback, promo templates, calibration cycles — only deepens it. Employees and managers spend weeks "aligning feedback providers" and "gathering data points." Before long, the promotion process becomes the single most important conversation between a manager and their report. All of this to climb a ladder that was invented to give people a sense of personal growth. After 20+ years of watching it up close, I can say it plainly: promotion culture is broken. It's the opposite of what great companies need to win. Great companies hire missionary talent, trust them with the freedom and opportunity to do meaningful work, and share the rewards through wealth creation. At Sahi, we're holding on to this. Every team conversation is about impact and outcomes, with zero time lost to promotion politics and the Day 2 culture rot it leaves behind. In the age of the AI-native company, the old hierarchies are dead. **Performance Culture >> Promotion Culture**

"Ideally" is the corporate way of saying this won’t work in reality but let’s pretend it does so we don’t have to actually solve the problem.

@yash_kr_verma 🤦‍♂️

tactical on-call

@bettersandeep You’re are so back

Talked to a girl in the gym today

@yash_kr_verma Credits?

In large teams, people focus on their own tasks, thinking the rest is someone else’s problem. In smaller teams, everyone owns everything since there’s no one to pass the buck to. A key mindset to check during hiring.

@aneeshpanda @themdavesaves @pratikgajjar_in @bettersandeep 🫡

@themdavesaves @raghavTinker sounds like a plan

@yash_kr_verma Ok

Airtel's partnership with Perplexity marks a significant milestone in Indian consumer offerings. It's refreshing to move beyond the usual OTT or doom scrolling bundles. Hopefully, this collaboration brings real value to the masses.
