Just putting it out in the world that everything is possible! We just collaborated with Starbucks exactly a year after I tweeted this (with almost no response)

Shopify markets is useless in India without native multi-currency checkout, arguably its most essential feature for selling internationally. RBI regulations are so dumb, why would you not let Indian merchants sell globally easily? @Shopify, can we please get one? 🙏

Founders, building a company is THE hardest thing in the world. It’s borderline delusional. There will be a lot of naysayers and people dunking on you for trying. Ignore them - it’s hard but do it. Find the choice few who are as convicted as you and go change the world.

So yeah, I wrote an essay arguing that sourdough and pottery might be the next trillion-dollar wellness industry. It’s half coping, half category-creation thesis. Touch clay. Touch life. harnidh.xyz/p/the-tangibilit…

If you’re building (a startup) just for the money, you’ll be disappointed.

One of the greatest moments in Indian cricket history. And a moment where Mohd Siraj enters Indian cricket folklore.

Odd Giraffe x Starbucks is one of those collabs you actually notice. Been spotting the merch at every airport and mall lately. Great design and even better placement. Love seeing friends build cool things. Props ⁦@thatdarkcoffee⁩ 👊

And saw this at @StarbucksIndia and just so quietly moved and happy for @thatdarkcoffee and @oddgiraffegang. Good things do happen to good folks. Yes, am grabbing them and so should you because I am sure they will be awesome. I am so proud of you, Karan.

It was an innings worthy of a great player. Nobody chases in odi cricket with the aplomb and the composure that #ViratKohli does.

Moral of the DeepSeek story: Never assume that it's too late to dislodge well-funded incumbents. Hunger, Talent and a Bias for Action is all it takes, and it is still not too late.

Keep a commonplace book, a notebook where you write down beautiful pieces of language, things you read. Copy poems by hand, something you overheard on the street. So that you’re constantly guzzling beauty, so that you’re steeped in it like a fruitcake in good brandy. You’re making an alter for yourself every day. -Mary Karr

Great news for Australia: The lead is 300. Terrible news for Australia: Scott Boland looks comfortable batting on this pitch.

Moleskine (Italian stationery brand selling notebooks) does upwards of $200 million USD in annual revenue. Thats bigger than what most personal & beauty care brands do in India. And 60% of their revenue comes from US market alone. If they can, why can’t we build brands from India for the world?

Hire people who approach every problem with either AI or excel sheets. They're the ones who'll find solutions no matter what!
