@Vic_Vij @svembu The same AI will also test the system and will iterate till it passes... it may be more expensive give the cost of tokens today, but on long run, AI will become better and cheaper

Sridhar, I don't doubt the 'shock.' Seeing an engineer do a year’s work in a month using Opus 4.5 is a massive testament to Productivity Acceleration. But we must distinguish between a Productivity Leap and a Reliability Revolution. Complex assembly logic can indeed be generated faster than a human, but it cannot be verified faster than a human. That 'shocking' speed is exactly why the Audit becomes more critical, not less. I’ll give you a real-life legacy example: when we replaced a COBOL product with an Oracle system, a team of 50 was reduced to 5. But that shift required repeated, manual verification from the clients because the 'efficiency' didn't eliminate the risk. AI is doing exactly what we did then, just at 100x speed. If we aren't careful, the 'Consultant Hallucination' we saw with Deloitte's recent AI fine will become a recurring act in software. Speed without a human 'Source of Truth' isn't engineering it’s high-speed technical debt.

We better pay attention to him because he has the best coding tool in the world.

@roshanonline @DhravyaShah There are many bare-metal infrastructure providers where you can run and manage your own stack. However, self-managing infrastructure requires strong technical leadership and close oversight. Mistakes can be expensive. I’m happy to share my experiences.

@DhravyaShah Can connect you to our team .hosting scaled AI applications on prem . Cc @skasibhat .

Do I know any founders/ engineers who have looked into managed self-hosting? I want to learn as much as possible about companies providing self-hosting or on-prem or VPCs as a solution to their customers.

@BambulabGlobal why you don't allow to import a ChatGPT generated configuration to print a part? Manually setting each parameter is very time consuming and frustrating . Is there a way I can get it to work? Am looking at playing with supports, process, etc..

Fun fact to ponder: If all Indian H1B visas are revoked, would the US real estate market crash? 🤔 That’s ~100K–200K homes suddenly hitting the market or defaulting. @elonmusk , @RealPNavarro @POTUS @narendramodi

@roshanonline @ankurnagpal Thanks. I had looked at it. Very interesting and valuable insights.

@ankurnagpal @skasibhat you might want to look into this since you're a US company now .

Just published my magnum opus on everything I have learnt about the most powerful tax break in America - QSBS It's written for startup founders, employees and investors and covers every single question people have asked me over the years Here are some highlights:

@JacobSingh @roshanonline We are developing co-pilots and AI agents to help our Business Analysts and Implementation teams in efficiently handle customer inputs.

@roshanonline @skasibhat Tell me more! :)

Any enterprise software vet understands that Solution architects / Pre-sales are the heroes of the 10 to 100M journey, but they are always in short supply. How could we scale their function and give personalized deep-dives to every customer?

From 10th, November, 2024, the European Union is set to discontinue manual passport stamps with a new automated Entry/Exit System (EES). Benefits - Faster processing - Enchanced Security - Accurate Records What's Entry/Exit System (EES)? The Entry/Exit System (EES) will be an automated IT system for registering travellers from third-countries, both short-stay visa holders and visa exempt travellers, each time they cross an EU external border. The system will register the person's name, type of the travel document, biometric data (fingerprints and captured facial images) and the date and place of entry and exit, in full respect of fundamental rights and data protection. End of an era for the manual stamps which so many of the travelers cherish and love to have in their passports. #DakuVisaUpdates

@roshanonline @Schuldensuehner There is a lot more pain underneath the surface. The day they blew up Nordstream, many had predicted fall of German Industries. We must thank @narendramodi for steering India away from a similar fate.

@Schuldensuehner @skasibhat .

Good Morning from #Germany where the once-mighty industrial giant ThyssenKrupp is now trading on the stock exchange at no value. The company's shares reflect a negative enterprise value due to a mix of poor management and the challenges of operating in Germany.

@roshanonline @jasonlk @BigParse We have solved most of our sales challenges today. We have developed enough support structures to allow sales with minimal effort from me. We have developed a battery of expert sales coaches to accelerate sales. I get involved in conversation

@roshanonline @jasonlk @BigParse Thanks @roshanonline for tagging me. It is indeed very complex for Vertical Solutions to sell unless the sales lead is also a solution expert. We have grown as Founder led team with most heavy lifting of sales driven by me as Founder.

Probably the biggest challenge in vertical SaaS I see is scaling the sales team It’s pretty easy to hire sales execs to sell a sales product. That’s what they know. But who do you hire to sell a very complex piece of vertical software? The customers demand to talk to a domain expert. So if you hire reps from standard B2B companies, they often literally close nothing. They never really understand the industry, the value prop, or how to really differentiate from the competition. They never really understand well enough at least to get a check. At the same time, it’s very hard to turn a domain expert that doesn’t know sales into a great SaaS salesperson. I’ve almost never seen it work out. They are great middlers, great at helping out. But they never close all that much. The reality is I see most vertical SaaS startups that sell to a complex industry … basically stay founder-led to $10m-$15m ARR. They find a way to hire a few great sales reps, and once in a while stumble into a great VP of Sales before then. But mostly they have to brute force it until they have enough scale, and enough of a brand, to hire sales execs who don’t have to be industry and product experts. That’s often $10m ARR or well past. At least realize that might be the case for you.

@roshanonline @svembu Sir, he is Sun god.. I am small night lamp

@skasibhat @svembu Felt Vembu sir could be a great partner for you. You both think alike .

I have been speaking at industry bodies, large company meets, colleges and various other forums in many parts of India (tomorrow in Mumbai!). I also hear from a lot of Indians living abroad who want to return to India. Just yesterday I met a FAANG engineer who plans to return to rural India. The sense of optimism is real. India is the most dynamic large economy in the world, poised for decades of solid growth. This is the time to invest in India. We are investing heavily both within Zoho as well by backing deep R&D driven companies similar to Zoho in outlook. Our rule of thumb is simple: if some technology is not yet being developed in India, we are interested in people that are committed to solving that problem, by creating and nurturing the talent that will achieve mastery in that domain. Long term focus is a must - we are not interested in exit driven companies.

@roshanonline @svembu Thanks for taging... we want to create an exit event in next 3 to 4 years 😉

@roshanonline @PMOIndia @DrSJaishankar If ban then why hold passport??

@skasibhat @PMOIndia @DrSJaishankar There is a soft ban on Chinese visa from India . Went to a music concert ...every musician got visa except line Chinese drummer .

Feeling frustrated and let down! Indian embassy Singapore is holding a Chinese passport for 6+week to process an Indian ViSA. Same chinese expert was critical for our business meeting at China and missed it! @PMOIndia @DrSJaishankar

@roshanonline @ycombinator @daltonc This very relevant and interesting. Thanks @roshanonline

@ycombinator @daltonc @skasibhat this is interesting

ERPs are notoriously expensive, painful to implement, and disliked by users, yet are absolutely necessary and business-critical for its customers. There's a big opportunity for new startups that build modern, flexible, and easy-to-use software that helps businesses run. @daltonc
