When you don't know your self-worth, you're more docile and easier to control by the 'machine.' That's the cult-like structure society is built around.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach for talent, you have to approach every individual and opportunity from a bespoke perspective.

I feel it is the duty for every human and company to do something to either make their community, their city, their state, their country or the world a better place to live. You don't have to contribute financially, but rather your time, smile and good wishes to start the ball rolling. Time is a very valuable thing, when you contribute your time to others- you've contributed something of great value

We do have quite a bit of agency over our lives, and to the degree that we can plot our own course and choose our lives as opposed to being subject to environmental factors, that means we're leading the lives we want rather than the lives we have-to live.

We didn't initiate this venture to merely establish another VC fund – India certainly doesn't need an additional one, given the abundance of capital already available. Our belief at Together Fund is that we can effect change through our current, first-hand experience, as operators who have scaled a company in this decade.

There are really no defeats in life, just opportunities to become better, stronger.

If you're doing anything for legacy, you might as well forget about it – even your great grandchildren will have no idea who you were or what you did. Legacy lasts 50 years maximum.

You don't need to be a celebrity to suffer from what social media does to you; it's happening to everyone. For me, I have to find a routine and discipline with how I use my public image.

If you mean magnitude of crisis in the literal sense of comparing it against the one which occurred? I think it's very, very unlikely. This was the hundred-year flood. If you stopped before that phrase and just asked whether we would face another crisis in the financial markets within our generation? Then I'd bet the ranch on that. Markets have an incredible capacity to forget.

Whether it's real-life viruses, or dangerous ideas, they tend to be spread by super spreaders. We know that 20% of infected people do 80% of the spreading of COVID-19. We also know that on Facebook, there is a relatively identifiable cohort of super spreaders of disinformation and misinformation.
