𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁, 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝗱, 𝗧𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Charming, brilliant, and hilarious—Huggy Hayagreeva Rao had the Sand Technologies team glued to our seats during our most recent company-wide "Thursday Late Discussion" session. Huggy is the co-author of "Scaling Up Excellence" and a professor of Organizational Behaviour at Stanford University. So when he speaks, we're all ears. One of the key takeaways that really struck a chord with us was Huggy's perspective on scaling excellence. He described it as "multiplying curiosity with generosity." Huggy pointed out that as companies grow, they often fall into the trap of "addition bias" and "time poverty." We just can't help but pile on more and more, until we're so overwhelmed that our curiosity and generosity take a backseat. Next thing you know, we're just going through the motions, feeling depleted, and lacking that sense of accountability. But the truth is that scaling isn't just about addition. In fact, sometimes it's about smart subtraction. We need to identify and remove the obstacles that stifle our team's ability to be curious and generous. When people are in that mindset, magic happens, problems get solved, everyone brings their A-game, and we all go home feeling energized rather than drained. Also, subtraction is like mowing the lawn: it's not a one-and-done deal—you've got to keep at it regularly. It's not just about efficiency, but about giving our team the gift of time, which inspires them to reciprocate with their best efforts. We have been on a massive scaling journey over the last three years. Our operations have grown from one site to 30 sites and the number of engineers we are developing has grown by 5,000X (which if my math is correct is about 500,000%). We are just getting started, so we’re always curious about what we need to do as an organization to maintain our scale, and not lose quality, dynamism, agility, and our innovative spirit. The team is already lobbying for Huggy to host our TLD every week 😄—a testament to how insightful, thought-provoking, and relatable his lessons are. We have homework, though; time to put these ideas to work and start scaling up excellence.

🌟 “Simplifying the Marketplace with Gautam Buddha’s Four Noble Truths” 🌟 In today’s bustling digital economy, platforms like PostMyAd and Ilanati are not just tools—they are transformative forces addressing the chaos of the modern marketplace. Surprisingly, their core philosophy aligns seamlessly with Gautam Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, offering a unique perspective on solving market challenges. Let’s explore how ancient wisdom meets cutting-edge innovation: 1️⃣ The Truth of Suffering (Dukkha): The Market’s Pain Points The global market reflects the first noble truth—suffering is inevitable: Sellers struggle to find the right audience. Buyers face distrust in unreliable listings. Service providers remain invisible amidst competition. PostMyAd and Ilanati recognize these struggles and provide solutions to ease them. 2️⃣ The Origin of Suffering (Samudaya): Root Causes in the Market Just as Buddha identified the origins of suffering, these platforms address market chaos caused by: Outdated advertising methods. Lack of access to streamlined platforms. Misinformation and inefficiency. These issues are barriers to trust, transparency, and growth in the digital age. 3️⃣ The Cessation of Suffering (Nirodha): PostMyAd and Ilanati as the Solution Buddha taught that suffering can end—and PostMyAd and Ilanati offer the path: PostMyAd and ilanati creates a hassle-free platform for posting ads that connect with the right audience, saving time and effort, builds a reliable ecosystem where buyers, sellers, and service providers collaborate with transparency. These platforms simplify complexities and enable success in the global market. 4️⃣ The Path (Magga): A Roadmap for Market Harmony Buddha’s Eightfold Path resonates with how PostMyAd and Ilanati empower users: Right View: Helping businesses see opportunities in the digital space. Right Effort: Driving consistent innovation for better experiences. Right Livelihood: Promoting fair practices and ethical trade. They embody the wisdom to create a marketplace built on trust, efficiency, and growth. 🌍 The Global Market Scenario In a world craving transparency and simplicity, these platforms are the answer: PostMyAd and ilanati connects local sellers to global audiences, breaking barriers, fosters relationships and builds trust, turning transactions into meaningful partnerships. 💡 Final Takeaway Like Gautam Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, PostMyAd and Ilanati illuminate the path to overcoming market challenges. Together, they’re not just shaping a better marketplace—they’re building a future where trust, transparency, and success go hand in hand. 👉 Are you ready to embrace a smarter way to connect and grow? Join the revolution today! #GautamBuddha #FourNobleTruths #PostMyAd #Ilanati #MarketplaceInnovation #Leadership #DigitalTransformation #GlobalBusiness #Growth

When Gujarat’s leaders stepped onto the national stage, they brought the state’s vision, discipline, and growth-oriented mindset to India. Their leadership not only elevated Gujarat’s presence but also set the foundation for national transformation, proving that strong regional representation can lead to collective progress. Today, in the ICAI elections, Surat has a similar opportunity to shine. With dynamic and capable leaders like Jay Chhaira and CA Ishwar Jivani (Jivani Ishwarkumar Ramjibhai), Surat can bring its unparalleled spirit of innovation, resilience, and growth to the forefront of ICAI’s future. Just as Gujarat’s leaders transformed India, Surat’s representation can transform the ICAI, ensuring progress for members across the country. Let’s make this moment count—vote for Surat, vote for growth, vote for Jay Chhaira and Ishwar Jivani. #LeadershipMatters #SuratForICAI #ICAI2024Elections #VoteForProgress #JayChhaira #IshwarJivani #SuratLeadership #VisionForGrowth #FutureOfICAI #StrongRepresentation #SuratShines #EmpowerLeadership #ICAIChangeMakers #VoteForChange #GujaratToIndia #SuratToICAI #ProfessionalExcellence #LeadersFromSurat #ICAIInnovation #TogetherWeGrow

Interesting and relatable piece by Nutgraf / The Ken Praveen Gopal Krishnan in my inbox today. Few VCs balance this line well, even fewer can project an authentic narrative of what they actually do. In my observation of actions, a VC is a financier first and last, and anything else is marketing until proven otherwise. #vc #startups #india #founder

Thank you Gauri Devidayal for having us as guests on the Speak Greasy podcast! 🎙️ Throughout our journey with Thrive, there have been pertinent questions about where we’re headed, what our plan is, and most importantly the big elephant in the room - how are we different from the 2 big daddies of online ordering in India? Answering those questions and revisiting the conversations that formulated this company reinforces our purpose, just as it did with the initial conversations we had with restaurant owners pre and during the pandemic. Watch this episode: https://lnkd.in/dHgcsDXs to hear Krishi, Dhruv and me in conversation with Gauri, one of our very first restaurant partners on Thrive! From competing with giants in the food tech industry to innovating on food discovery rather than just convenience of fastest delivery and cheapest option, to effectively solving the commission problem for restaurants - this 40-minute chat covers it all. PS: We answer some tricky questions on the veg / non-veg fleet debate, our trickiest customer support chat and more 😅
