I recently spoke to a marketer who ran a $40M brand with just two designers and ONE AI process:
He gave me and my team a masterclass on using AI to scale marketing and creative.
Most brands use one tool with a bad prompt and hope it will solve all their problems.
He chains 7 different tools together for: ideation, image creation, video editing, and iterating based on performance.
ALL using AI and two offshore designers.
I paid him 6-figures to build these systems for my companies.
Now, I’m giving them away for free.

Hospitals don’t resist innovation.
They resist invisible work (training, coordination, exceptions, handoffs).
If your product adds effort before it removes pain,
adoption will not survive.
English
Most healthcare startups don’t fail because the product is bad. They fail because execution reality is ignored.
Slides win meetings. Execution reality decides adoption.
"Execution reality = workflows + ownership + effort + incentives + daily behaviour."

There are way too many mental health apps and @kmr_dilip has summed it up very well -

90% of startups fail.
Due to various reasons,
⮕ 10% fail in the 1st year!
⮕ 70% fail between 2nd & 5th year!
SPEED is that ONE thing in your control to help you succeed in spite of these odds.
🧵Here's how:

While the opportunity in #healthcare is lucrative in #India (apparently over $610 billion by 2026), like in most emerging markets, to make it in India, you really have to care enough and persist, there are no easy wins.
What other market nuances have you seen in the Indian healthcare sector?

5. Balancing Compliance with Cultural Sensitivity
Compliance alone isn’t enough; cultural context in areas like #MentalHealth or #ReproductiveCare heavily influences adoption (areas not spoken about or hidden due to the feeling of embarrassment, etc).
Thoughtful, culturally informed UX and feedback loops with local users can enhance trust and prevent pushback.

Are you an entrepreneur building in the Indian #healthcare market? Most playbooks don't help.
Execution challenges are quite complex and like always, the devil is in the details.

@LukeCoutinho17, I would like to get your perspective on this article talking about 91% higher cardio risk for those who fast for 16 hours a day.
I practise it; trying to understand if I should continue or are there other routines with a lot less risk?

Founders spend just a shocking ~5% of their time picking the market!
>50% of startup success or failure depends on Founder-Market Fit!
Investors pick Founders.
Founders pick ideas/markets.
What if the founder's "pick" is wrong?
