They say this is India’s decade. The energy at GFF was a testament to this.
Impressed by the innovation and collaboration we saw in Mumbai. Reflecting on Prabhtej and my early days in fintech, during UPI's inception in Bangalore back in 2016, the growth has been staggering. Now,
Nice to be on the front page of the Financial Express today, with some standout women in fintech. Progress? Definitely. But there's a lot more runway to ensure women truly thrive in this space.
Can’t wait to give this the mind space and time it deserves — I’m brimming with
Here we are, the Falcon fam is too large for a group selfie now—that’s a new kind of ‘big picture’ problem I’m thrilled to have!
A warm welcome to the new members joining our team. Hats off to the original Falconers who are the stewards of our culture, ensuring it thrives in
Have known you for years, but learned so much more from this conversation! Fascinating to see your growth as a founder and even more impressive that you haven’t let go of your rebellious spirit while embracing all the change. Pls always hold on to it :)

Super thrilled about this one!
When we first spoke with Asif, Vishal, and Prashant, what excited us most was their idea of empowering thousands of influencers to pick the brands they wanted to champion, rather than the other way around.
$100,000,000,000
That's the size of the creator economy.
Yet, monetisation is still a struggle.
What if it was made simpler?

Yes, please, should’ve happened years ago! It's high time we address the inadequacies of traditional education, AI or not. I’m still bitter about all the years I think I lost to learning absolutely nothing practical / not starting up much earlier 😔
School should teach kids how to crush life in the world they’ll be adults in.
Given that new AI magic wands keep appearing every few months, schools should focus less on teaching obsolete skills and more on teaching kids how to be the world’s most amazing wizards.
Working with smart and driven individuals is my favorite part of the job. They push us to our limits, challenging every assumption, every thesis, and every decision we make as a company. And that is

Credentialing is broken. We still rely on random Degrees and Certifications to measure how good someone is for a particular Skill. And LinkedIn feels like a Product from early 2000.
It’s time to change all of this.
NextLevel is launching next week.
With friends like you around to champion and support us, I know we already have everything we need to get there :) You're incredible yourself,

Today’s India is ambitious, we study hard, work hard and, man we party harder. Sometimes, between all of this, we forget to plan for the future.

Another India-1st idea built on digital public infrastructure.
“Uninsured vehicles on highways are set to be offered on-the-spot insurance cover, with the government discussing a plan that includes deducting the premium from the owner’s Fastag account.”

Why AI Will Save The World
By Marc Andreessen
The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out.
Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

Very interesting and important perspective! Super critical to maintain financial discipline and let CFOs do their job no matter what the cycle.
@TheJayKrishnan
Yes, def, but the breakout ones directly aligned with their roadmap, e.g. they recently invested in Harvey. As with other platform shifts, these breakouts are the AI-first companies that are able to beat incumbents. Such a fascinating time!
