Narayan Murthy’s comments have stirred the nation. It is worth evaluating where we stand on this because India and Bharat are at a critical juncture. Although it was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion, it sparked a debate and that is great.

This is in the scenario of me quitting the startup (Buidler’s Tribe) that I built from zero to $40 million in valuation for the last two years. Before that, I was part of the WazirX marketing team where we grew our community from 50,000 users to 1 million users. Before that I had a hostel for artists in a quiet little Goan town. And a backpackers' hostel prior. About nine years ago, I was building a profitable SaaS product and a software services company that was making good money with labour arbitrage.
