The smartest ones compete for habits.
Attention gets you a customer.
A habit keeps one.

India's #startup ecosystem keeps getting bigger. But here's the uncomfortable question: are we creating more great #businesses, or simply getting better at funding more businesses? Those are very different achievements. -TYC

Happy National #IT Professionals Day. A great day to be extra nice to the person who tries their absolute hardest not to roll their eyes while explaining that the problem sending you into a panic spiral can be solved by simply restarting your computer.

AI executives: “We should slow down.”
Investors: “Absolutely.”

Funny how the future looks less exciting when you’re suddenly asked to price in the risks.
The AI boom isn’t over. The easy optimism might be.

3% of happy customers are willing to refer your business. Only 29% actually do. That's not a trust problem, it's a #BusinessGrowth problem: referred customers cost less to acquire, churn less, and spend more than customers from any paid channel.

the closest thing to earning while you sleep that isn't a scam: vending machines
set it up once in a spot with real foot traffic, stock it, walk away. it sells all night without you
80% of cost is the machine, margins run 15-20%, breakeven in 1-2 years, then it runs for a decade mostly on autopilot

Apple showed up 7 years late to foldables and priced the Duo at $1,999 like it invented the category. Genius patience play or just an Apple tax on people who waited for the logo? IDC thinks it grabs 40% of the market by next year regardless.

Everyone said the food delivery market was locked. DoorDash 56%, Uber Eats the rest, game over. Then Walmart looked at its 4,700 stores and asked why it was leaving basket size on the table for a cruller. Moats get expensive when your neighbor already owns the land. #DoorDash #UberEats #MarketShare

#India 's battery swapping market is set to grow from $48.13m to $517.92m by 2034 (30%AGR).
Swap stations solve the biggest complaint about #EVs - charging time, by making it disappear.
This is the market that gets built by handful of #earlymovers until everyone knows it exists.

Oura's ring tracked your sleep for years. Now it wants to track your portfolio's downside. $16B valuation, up from $10.9B a year ago, while insiders quietly sell into the #IPO. Read the prospectus before you read your heart rate variability. #WallStreet #VentureCapital

Wall Street is pricing this month's #FedRateDecision as a literal 50/50. The people steering the world's largest economy don't know what they'll do next. Should #Markets ever hinge this much on one committee's mood? #Fed #Economy
