I'm an engineer turned marketer, now a founder. 

I've worked at Uber and Klook, focusing on marketing and growth. 

At Uber, I launched new cities, B2B products, managed rider discounts for millions, and handled strategy for Uber Latam. Was laid off due to a org restructure ( super long story )

At Klook, I led the India and Middle East business, scaling it from $6M to $25M+ USD in just a year before the pandemic led to my second layoff.

After two layoffs,I founded GrowthSchool, an ed-tech startup, in September 2021. 

We've raised $5M from investors like Sequoia and Owl Ventures, helped over a million learners since then from 30 countries, and have a team of 120+ in Bangalore, India. 

Interested in joining us? Email me at v@growthschool.io 😊

Fun fact : GrowthSchool was selected as LinkedIn Top Startup twice( 2022 & 2023 )

The future belongs to the rapid builders.

Join me at the Google for Startups Startup School: Prompt to Prototype kickoff. 

I'll be sharing my pro-tip: 

The secret to achieving incredible outputs is shifting your mindset to treat AI as a 'brainstorming partner,' not just a passive tool. 

This approach is pretty much what transforms a simple idea into a functional prototype.

Founder, GrowthSchool | On a mission to upskill 100M people globally with AI

I think we just crossed a line in AI.

This weekend I stopped prompting Gemini 3 Pro…

and started giving it objectives.

And it didn’t answer it acted.

Thanks to the Google team for the early access. I spent 48 hours testing Gemini 3 Pro, Agent Mode, Anti-Gravity and the new Generative UI.

What I saw didn’t feel like a chatbot anymore. It felt like a new kind of colleague.

I won’t reveal the use cases here.

I want you to see them, not read about them.

That’s why I filmed everything.

The full breakdown is in here 👇

Watch it and tell me if this still feels like AI…
because I don’t think it does anymore.

A 4-year-old girl went missing in Mumbai. Six months later, she was found 1,500 km away in Varanasi...


What brought her home wasn’t luck it was relentless, patient, all-out policing.

This isn’t just a story about law enforcement. It’s about persistence, teamwork, and a community that simply refused to give up.

A little girl from Solapur had come to Mumbai with her family for medical treatment. On May 20, she disappeared near CSMT station. CCTV later showed she’d been taken by a stranger who boarded a train heading towards Uttar Pradesh.

And that’s where a 6-month nationwide search began.

Mumbai Police set up multiple dedicated teams, They combed through Bhusawal, Madhya Pradesh, and Varanasi. Some officers even stayed in Varanasi for days, searching every possible lead but the trail kept going cold.

Then came “Operation Shodh,” a two-week push in November. Photos were circulated, notices went out in local papers, and posters were pasted across Varanasi.
And finally, one small but life-changing clue surfaced.

A local journalist noticed a Marathi-speaking girl in a Varanasi children’s shelter and immediately alerted authorities. A Mumbai Police team rushed there, confirmed it was her, and brought her back home.

Six months of searching.
Hundreds of hours across three states.
And a family reunited at last.

The kidnapper is still on the run, but the search hasn’t stopped.

Huge respect to Mumbai Police for their persistence and heart. Stories like this remind us how much quiet, unseen work goes into public service and how it can truly change lives.

What does this remind you about the kind of public service we often take for granted?

“If I put ₹1,00,000 in Silver in 2010, I’d have ₹6,34,000+ today".... FALSE


If you bought ₹1,00,000 worth of Silver in 2010 and watched it jump to ₹2,08,000

and did nothing

Then watched ₹2,08,000 fall to ₹1,35,000

and still did nothing

Then watched ₹1,35,000 rise to ₹2,32,000

and still did nothing

Then watched ₹2,32,000 slide back to ₹2,02,000

and still did nothing

Then watched ₹2,02,000 climb to ₹2,88,000 → ₹3,51,000

and still did nothing

Then finally saw it surge to ₹6,34,000+

and for some reason decided to “calculate returns” now…

Then yes, ₹1,00,000 in 2010 would be worth ₹6,34,000+ today.

But the point is not the return.
The point is whether you’d have stayed, not sold, not panicked, and not given up for 15 years while watching your money fall more than 60% multiple times.

We overestimate returns.
We underestimate patience.

Zerodha just had its WORST year in recent times… And yet, it might still be the MOST powerful company in India’s broking ecosystem...


Most people are looking at the headline numbers and thinking:
“Zerodha is slowing down.”
But the REAL story is far more fascinating.

1. The slowdown everyone felt, including Zerodha
FY25 was tough for the entire broking industry:
-> Trading volumes cooled
-> New investors declined
-> SEBI tightened rules
Naturally, even Zerodha took a hit:
Revenue fell 11.5% (₹9,993 crore → ₹8,847 crore)
Profits dropped 23% (₹5,496 crore → ₹4,237 crore)
And THIS is the part every news outlet will repeat.

2. But here’s what nobody is talking about
Even during its “worst” year, Zerodha still operates at a level most fintechs can’t even imagine.
~ 7.26 million users
~ 15.8% market share
~ Industry-leading brokerage income
And that’s not even the crazy part.

3. Zerodha’s balance sheet is a financial fortress
While startups chase valuations and burn cash, Zerodha sits quietly on:
~ ₹22,679 crore in cash
~ ₹35,719 crore including current assets

4. The Zerodha difference
When revenue dips, most funded startups panic:
~ Freeze hiring
~ Mass layoffs
~ Chase new rounds
~ Blame market conditions

Zerodha?
They increase salaries by 31%, pay founders ₹228 crore in compensation, and STILL end the year with enormous liquidity.
That’s what fundamentals look like.

5. The bigger lesson
FY25 wasn’t Zerodha’s best year.
But it proved one thing:
Businesses built on discipline survive storms.
Businesses built on funding survive headlines.

Even in a slowdown, Zerodha remains:
-> Massively profitable
-> Exceptionally liquid
-> Operationally efficient
-> Practically unshakable
A masterclass in what long-term thinking actually looks like.

There are ONLY 3 ways to become rich. And most people won’t like hearing this....


1. Inherit wealth.
Let’s be honest, this one isn’t in your control. If you’re lucky, great. If not, move on.

2. Steal money.
Yes, this is technically a path.
But most people don’t have the power, the patience, or the lack of principles required to pull this off.
(And you shouldn’t want to.)

3. Work your face off.
The only REAL path most of us have.
Learn.
Grow.
Break.
Fail.
Try again.
Fail again.
Try again.
Repeat until people call it “luck.”

Most people want wealth.
Very few want the bruises that come with earning it.

So here’s the uncomfortable question:
Which path are you really choosing?
Because not choosing is also a choice.

Is there a 4th way to become rich that I missed?
Let me know in the comments, I’m ready to be proven wrong.

Make Unlimited Money with AI in 2026? Suraj Juneja breaks it down in our latest episode.


Suraj is an entrepreneur, investor, and branding expert who has helped build and scale 300+ brands across India and the world.

And in this episode, he explains what it actually takes to build a billion-dollar business in the age of AI.

We spoke about everything founders struggle with today and the answers were brutally practical.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the episode :
 ↳ How AI is changing the startup playbook
 ↳ Real money-making opportunities using AI (even 1-person businesses)
 ↳ The truth behind SME IPOs & fundraising
 ↳ How venture-building really works
 ↳ Business ideas you can start under ₹1 lakh

If you’re a founder, student, or someone who wants to build a future-proof career this conversation will help you see what’s coming next.

You just donated Lakhs to your company. They didn’t even say thank you...


Sounds dramatic, but let’s break it down logically.

Most professionals overwork without even realising it.
Not because the company demands it…
but because we’ve normalised the idea that “2 extra hours is no big deal.”
Except it is.

Here’s the math:
2 extra hours/day × 25 working days
= 50 hours/month
= 600 hours/year

Now let’s look at the opportunity cost.
If you earn ₹1,00,000 per month and work roughly 175 hours,
your time is worth approximately ₹571/hour.

Which means those “just a few extra hours” are worth:
600 × ₹571 = ₹3,42,600

That’s ₹3.4 lakh of your time you hand over quietly, unconsciously, and for free.

Meanwhile, while you’re logging late-night hours, someone else is using their evenings to:
Learn a monetisable skill
Build a personal brand
Network with high-leverage people
Explore side projects that boost their long-term market value
They are the ones who move ahead.

Not because they hustle more —
but because they invest their time instead of donating it.

Overwork doesn’t accelerate your career.
It silently restricts it.

The smarter strategy?
Protect your time → Invest it in yourself → Increase your market value.
Because companies don’t reward hours.
They reward impact, leverage, and specialised skills.

Curious to hear your view:
Is overworking the new career trap that nobody talks about?

Most people think they’re making decisions consciously. But 95% of your life is driven by your subconscious mind...


I sat down with Dr. Himanshu Gaur, one of India’s leading NLP experts and subconscious mind coaches and this conversation changed the way I look at habits, money, and success.

Dr. Himanshu has coached 50,000+ people, helping them break patterns, remove limiting beliefs, and build a mindset that actually supports their goals.

In this episode, we spoke about things most of us feel but never understand:
 ↳ Why some people stay stuck, no matter how hard they work
 ↳ How your subconscious creates your wealth, relationships, and emotions
 ↳ How to reprogram the beliefs that hold you back
 ↳ The real science behind manifestation
 ↳ And how NLP can shift your behaviour almost instantly

If you’ve been trying to manifest better results in money, career, or life this conversation gives you a practical blueprint.

Do you also want to double your money with meme coins… WITHOUT getting rekt..?


Sounds unrealistic, right?
But honestly, that’s exactly how most viral meme-coin stories start:
Someone enters early → price pumps → portfolio doubles → they post a screenshot.

What people don’t show is how many others lose everything in the same market.
Because meme coins are wild.
Shiba gave 50x.
Squid Game token went to zero in a single day.

So how do you survive a market where anything can happen in 24 hours?
I follow one simple system: The FLM Framework
It keeps me logical in the most illogical market.

F — Freshness Check
Only look at new tokens.
The earlier the entry, the crazier the upside potential.

But confirm:
New users are entering
Activity is rising
People are talking
Fresh + active = opportunity.

L — Legitimacy Check
Because hype means nothing if the token is shady.
Check:
Liquidity
Contract
Distribution
If something feels off, leave immediately.
When in doubt, sit out.

M — Momentum Check
This is the oxygen of the meme-coin world.
Charts should be rising.
Community should be loud.
Small buyers should be popping up.
No momentum = no magic.

A pretty unreal way to get exposure to meme coins… while keeping risk low.
Meme coins = highest risk.
But a system always beats random luck.
Follow the FLM framework.
Invest logically.

This is not financial advice or an investment recommendation. Meme coins are extremely risky. Always do your own research before investing.

Bitcoin crashed 25%, what’s really happening? The crypto market shook this week...


Bitcoin fell 25%, Ethereum followed, and more than 400,000 traders were liquidated. But this wasn’t “just panic.”

 ↳ The real reasons behind Bitcoin’s sharp fall
 ↳ How ETF outflows created a $3B sell wave
 ↳ Why 400,000+ traders got liquidated
 ↳ The technical breakdown: RSI crash, death-cross, support levels breaking
 ↳ Macro fear + regulatory pressure
 ↳ Smart ways to invest during crashes: DCA, SIP-style, position sizing
 ↳ How to avoid panic selling and protect long-term wealth

The market is volatile, but clarity gives you an edge.
