I spent 10 years investing in 200+ startups.
Then I sat down with 100 of India's best founders and asked them one question:
What do you wish someone had told you before you started?
Their answers became a book.
The Founder Manual is out now with @PenguinIndia.
@1kunalbahl wrote the foreword. He called entrepreneurship "irrational, brave, and lonely." Hard to argue.
Inside, you'll find war stories from founders who've collectively built billions in value:
@lkeshre (@_groww) on why customer obsession beats everything else.
@awaisahmedna on starting @PixxelSpace while still in college and convincing ISRO to care.
@itsgauravkhatri on going from pilot training to building @gonoise into India's largest wearables brand.
@smtgpt and @neerajKh_ on building @CoinDCX when the RBI literally banned crypto.
@ankushgr8 on why innovation mode is always on at @RebelFoodsHQ.
@TweetShah on what @Pepperfry learned about partnerships the hard way.
@amit_lakhotia on building @parkplus_io during COVID when parking lots were empty.
@RevantB on making supplements indulgent at Mosaic Wellness.
Matt Chitharanjan on @BlueTokaiCoffee's journey to making specialty coffee mainstream.
Arjun Vaidya on turning emotion and conviction into a modern Ayurveda brand with Dr. Vaidya's.
@sparshgupta of VWO scaled Wingify without raising a single rupee. Why that was both the smartest and scariest decision.
Plus insights from the founders of Shiprocket, CarDekho, HomeLane, Smartworks, LogiNext, Decentro, Bizongo, Hevo Data, TBO Tek, Awfis, OLX India, Kiddopia, TrulyMadly, GoBoult and more.
This isn't a theory book. No frameworks. No 2x2 matrices.
Just founders telling you what actually happened. The parts they don't put in pitch decks or mention on podcasts.
The mess. The pivots. The 3 AM decisions that changed everything.
If you're building something in India right now, this book was written for you.

Entire cost of frivolous delay caused by Petitioners being borne by others. Cost of 25L-50L for people out of home for 2-4yr.
Petitioners enjoy at 0 cost.

something unbelievable and strange… its already 4 days @amazonIN is not able to even find any solution … money missing from my amazon voucher account which we never check and blindly trust… 4000 worth voucher balance just vanished… @AmazonHelp
the email you send land to only orders not amazon pay so of no use and still dont get why you can not call and resolve
Huge appreciation for the @airindia Mumbai team — pilots, cabin crew, and especially the ground staff — for the outstanding handling of AI 573 today.
When the original aircraft developed a technical issue, the team stayed calm, professional, and completely passenger-first. 1/3
Coordinating a replacement aircraft, managing communication, and getting everyone moving again within 60 minutes, resulting in just about a 1-hour delay, is no small feat. 2/3
@airindia why you charging Convenience fee on ur app ? when booking Sr citizen booking
basically you taking 399 more but showing benifit to Sr citizen call center is not able to help saying thr is fee on own app … but with normal passenger thr is no fee
@CSMIA_Official Why in Mumbai we never get stroller at gate if aircraft? every other airport in india give it at gate….
Every-time i fly Indigo i regret … got worst this time they broke my brand new suitcase and shamelessly saying will give you Rs 1500 @IndiGo6E
