Asked a query to a customer support agent and got a generic useless answer today. Turned to chatGPT and it understood me better than the human! AI is really taking over...hopefully to free up humans to do things we enjoy than a sorry job we hate!

Thought : Didn't Life/Evolution find its superior product-market fit with the Human species? One product(us) that could potentially take it(life) to new geographies in the solar system & beyond? #StartupMashedPhilosophy

Thought - SIM providers like @reliancejio and @airtelindia are investing into doing the customer KYC and painfully onboarding users only to be easily taken away by Whatsapp - whose KYC and therefore autenticity is the work of the SIM providers! WA then gives free SMS & Calls!

How K (Kailash) builds tech is how he leads his life, constantly questioning the cost of everything he does—physical, environmental, & debt in any form. My life guru & the biggest reason for @zerodha's success. This chat with @championswimmer is ♥️ youtu.be/Aawk_wg_VYY

2 new age, neighborhood companies which I really admire and haven't raised capital but are running truly impactful businesses imo - @Indiahikes and @EcoSoch. What are your favourite less noisy, high impact, new age businesses?

Saw the movie #GarudaGamanaVrushabhaVahana on wife's recommendation. What a friggin brilliant movie! Masterpiece! Sent shivers down my spine. @RajbShettyOMK is a gem in the making!

@ECISVEEP - isn't @votem something that can be brought in for our elections - using voter ID and OTP for unique validation. Maybe as a parallel system that can be opted by those who want to? @SpokespersonECI
