@BeingPractical Well said!

Seems like there a mandate with every VC / PE firm to invest in a Invest-tech (Broking) / Wealth-tech (Distribution) venture. Already too competitive. Markets are shrinking. Nothing new on the offerings. Revenues & ARPUs are shrinking. TAM isn't expanding as fast as you expect. Cost of regulations & compliance are going up. Stock Market performance is sideways. Yes, VC Money can accelerate & drive innovation as well as adoption. But can't change macro conditions faster than usual cycles.

AI or die? Hoping for a great session! @castler_escrow @CastlerCode

@dvbydt @peakxvpartners @Ishaanmittal2 @tejeshwi_sharma Wow! All the best Ashish!

After 13 years at @peakxvpartners / Sequoia Capital India, I have decided to take the entrepreneurial plunge. I am excited to be teaming up with longtime partners @Ishaanmittal2 and @tejeshwi_sharma to start a new venture capital firm. I am deeply grateful to all my partners - @sjs_day1, @mobhat , @gvravishankar, @RajanAnandan, @i_sakshichopra, and @rohitagar_wal - for a truly wonderful partnership. These years have shaped me not just as an investor, but also as a person. Today, the firm is stronger than ever - the next generation of investors, the operating leaders, and teams are exceptional. I thank all of them for their support over the years. It has also been an incredible privilege learning from Michael Moritz and Doug Leone, and the entire Sequoia leadership. Few institutions have refined the model for venture capital as thoughtfully as Sequoia, and it is an inspiration as we think about building our firm. The last few years have given me a ringside view of the best in entrepreneurship. Watching @_groww, one of the first investments I led, become the second most valued new-age public company in India has been extraordinary to witness first hand. Over time, I led ~20 others including Agrani Labs, @ambak_official, @Clarisights, @hellodezy, @Eduvanz_Finance, @gokwik, @LeapFinanceIn, @lightmetrics, @MSE_Exchange, @OnFinance_ai, @OrbitShift_AI, @OsfinAI, @PagarBook, @PayGlocalHQ, @getplumhq, @PristynC , @progcap, Stanza Living, @toddle_edu, @Wobot_ai, and @Zanskar Research. I am deeply thankful to all the founders who trusted me to be a part of their journeys. I am especially thrilled to be starting up with the two partners I have shared much of my life with. TJ and I have known each other for 13 years. Ishaan and I go back over 28 years - we were one year apart in middle school :) Together, we look forward to building a venture capital firm that supports the ambitions of the next generation of founders.

@sbikh @abhirajbhal Wow! Maybe the best startup IPO ever! Hope they walk the talk after listing! The journey has just begun.

Urban Company IPO oversubscribed. Hold your breath - it looks like 108.9 X unless I am reading the table wrong. Congratulations ⁦@abhirajbhal⁩

@vibhores Well said

People in Uttarakhand, Himachal and Punjab lost their homes, loved ones and crops..even animals died. But the impact of this monsoon was somehow felt most when people in their cars could not reach home in/from #Gurgaon #GurugramRains

@dvbydt @StartupAwardsET Awesome Ashish! So, well deserved.

Honored to receive this award. Thank you to the jury and the @StartupAwardsET team. This is really a recognition of the incredible founders that I have been fortunate to partner with and the amazing work done by them that I am a beneficiary of. Thank you to all of them on behalf of the entire @peakxvpartners team.

@elonmusk Modely Y prices already high in India due to taxes. At least you could give FSD as a standard feature for early adopters in India!

@sbikh Get well soon!

Had been feeling out of sorts for the last three days. Tested positive for Covid last evening. Went into isolation. A Sindhi friend in Mumbai had sent some Lolas. Feeling peckish at 5am I had half a Lola. I could not taste anything. Key learning - you know it is Covid when a Sindhi cannot get the taste of a Mitho Lolo @one_by_two

Must read for everyone interested in Deeptech! Way to go @vibhores !

@alokmittal001 Focus on self-employement kind of ventures which become sustainable fast. Less then 5-10 people businesses.

@alokmittal001 Structure it like a 2-year MBA program. Let's say the fee is 50 lacs. One year intensive training and teaching. Second year use 50% of the Fee (25 lacs) as a seed fund for a business endeavour. Infra is free, year one students to work part-time. Ensure best use of 25 lacs.

Question for entrepreneurs and startup academics - what are the best ways you can think of, to teach entrepreneurship in a university? Specific suggestions would be great. (I understand that one response may be "you can't" - but still, request to give it your best shot 😊 )

Ye founder log podcast karne lag jaayenge to mujh jaise bina naukri waalon ka kaun dekhega. 🥲 Jokes apart - do watch Vivek's episode with CEO of Manipal hospitals. It was great. Let me find the link and share.

Reviewing the content for the next episode (releasing soon) of 'The Prognosis' podcast. Absolutely love this part of my job - getting to learn from remarkable entrepreneurs like @AmeeraShah , who embody boldness and fearlessness in their pursuits. Stay tuned for the episode
