@Ajain112 @RajanAnandan @_surgeahead We'll improve front of pack soon. Thanks for the feedback :) completely clear packaging is mostly single layer which leads to inadequate sealing which leads to higher moisture in content and reduces shelf life. you can see more but you'll have less time to sell it or enjoy it.

@RajanAnandan @_surgeahead Packaging should mention if it’s plain or salted or masala / spicy. One of the reasons why unbranded market has transparent packaging here is so people can check that and size of individual cashew before buying.

Finally a @_surgeahead company launches my fav snack! Cashewnuts! Rs16,000 crore unbranded market in India. Any guesses on the company?

@divujain @RajanAnandan @_surgeahead No reason why branding should dilute quality - packaging and creativity don't cost much.

@RajanAnandan @_surgeahead Those who actually understand what Marketing and Branding does, they do not fall for it. What matters is the quality of the product and not the brand. P.S: Truth is always bitter :⁠-⁠)

@mutha_manav @RajanAnandan @_surgeahead We'll work on using our front of pack better. Thanks for the feedback!

@RajanAnandan @_surgeahead The design for sure is catchy, but less informative.

@nathanikaran137 @RajanAnandan @_surgeahead We love kirana stores doing their own sourcing :)

@RajanAnandan @_surgeahead Pass. I am going to stick to my local kirana store for dry fruits. Sources them directly from Central Asia or Middle East at unmatched prices.

@maniksehgal @RajanAnandan @_surgeahead They are not cheaper by that amount :) the mass consumer and average retailer in india is well aware of mandi prices

@RajanAnandan @_surgeahead unbranded are 50-70% cheaper!!!

@RajanAnandan @_surgeahead Thx for the shout-out! NutPhat's launch has been a joyous ride 🚀. We aim to bring joy to mindful moms+kids diving into tasty snacking in mass India- brace yourselves for more fantastic flavors and choices coming your way! 📷#NutPhat #HealthierSnacking #ExcitingJourney

@championswimmer Well don't they say - courage to change what I can, understanding to accept what I can't? Doesn't need to be dichotomy

I always thought "Bharata Bhagya Vidhata" meant that India's fortune is in the hands of God. As I grew up, with the 'bhagwan bharose' attitude of doing things across the country, it just felt more and more fitting. 🙃

What's it like being #AcceleratedWithGoogle, you ask? 👉Here's what @shru42 & @das_vicky, co-founders of @ApnaKlub had to say on their experience with Google for Startups Accelerator 🇮🇳!

@HBSAlumni @akshaynavaladi @bdharia @naiyyasaggi @khushboo2407 Thanks team! Appreciate the highlight!

@0xastro98 @anmolm_ I hope you have seen Reels and Threads

@anmolm_ And not all of them are like that and there are many genuine people in the Indian tech/startup eco-system who have helped me a lot. But have never come across such attitude here in the US where they try to steal my ideas.

I still think one of the biggest differences between the US and Indian ecosystems is the pay it forward culture in the bay, and the tearing people down mentality in India (obvs there are exceptions too) ☹️

@ku1deep @anmolm_ I must have missed that easy to use disagree button that Twitter has

@anmolm_ OK. You win this one. I retract my point.

@ashishbadshah @superachnural @stuutiiiii Paid blue tick vibe 👍🏼

@superachnural @stuutiiiii Oh really …stop living in a fools paradise ..

men calling women “freeloaders” for getting a free bus ticket have u picked up a single plate from the sink and washed it for ur mother in the last decade

@championswimmer I think given better deal economics and smaller batch Surge is definitely the better option? IIT NIT nahi pata but as founder who enjoys giving up so much company for so little money?

YC is the IIT for startups. Surge ofcourse, thus is the NIT.

@learnwlakshya @championswimmer Proof of what?

@championswimmer After 30 Sep, proof will be needed I believe Right now, proof isn’t required to exchange the notes!

So after Sept 30, 2023, the 2000 rupees note becomes a bit like crypto? As long as people believe in it, it is legal tender. But govt won't accept it anymore. So people can only keep exchanging it among themselves. Am I getting it right?

"All the women founders that @ForbesIndia interacted with for this special edition don’t want to be addressed as ‘women founders’. All want to be known by what they've achieved." Awesome to see #Surge03's @DhamijaTamanna & #Surge05's @Shru42 here 👏 🙌 forbesindia.com/startups/1559/1

English mein - when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. when life gave me bigots, I turned their words into rocket fuel. Only reason to share my story - if someone / some thing is oppressing you, use that sense of injustice to fuel your way to a better life

@ditisholapurkar 😂

This is great but I think we need some more men

@sugandhabee I used this to disastrous effect. The person thought I was calling them dark 🙄 (🥲 when people only listen to the first 3 seconds)

I am at that stage of life where if you ask me for career advice I will offer you only this video. My awesome mentor at my 1st job showed it to me me. At the time I thought it was "nice". At 31 yo, I think it's everything. youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7Az…

@championswimmer @deoharshad Usecase for moreficent

Cannot agree with this. Not having a macbook is not stopping anyone from improving their skills as a developer, but good tools (including a better computer) *ABSOLUTELY* contributes towards making someone a more productive + skilled developer.
