@prvkhvr if KATAs were made by a spell caster, this is what it would sound like -

If you’ve been watching Prakhar since COVID, you’ll realise that this is the kind of content where he gets into his flow state. This is where his natural talent lies.
Glad he’s back with this kind of content. You get life-changing perspectives.

Spellcaster vs. Tool User
Sales vs. Builder
Just watched Prakhar Gupta's live, where he discussed these interesting contrasts.
It got me thinking about how we approach work, skills, and problem-solving.
If you're curious about these concepts, I'd suggest giving the live a view

We fight so hard to get into these rooms abroad, the universities, the offices, the cities.
And then we go quiet once we’re inside.
Stop Shrinking To Fit In Abroad. The few who dislike you don’t matter. Take your Space

Hot take: if youre an Indian living abroad, youre holding the room by not being yourself
Watched this and it hit hard @prvkhvr
So many Indians abroad are talented, hardworking, and still hold themselves back, too polite, too careful, too scared to take up space.
the racists were never going to like you anyway. Everyone else is waiting to see what you’ve really l, and take your space.

We are in the second stage of the Global Indian rise.
The first was, and not until very recently, complete ignorance. No one bothered. We did not have to be seriously marketed to.
Now thats changing. The second stage is ‘orientalising’ us. We are the distant other, the ‘land of colors’, or some stupid vlogger version wherein india is just a trash pile they visited or an unhygenic food vendor stall they recorded. But now they have to talk about us Indians, and talk to us Indians.
The one place where we see this happening well is the European football world and the content they make for Indians. India is one of the largest viewership markets for European football, and they have understood how to keep us included.
The third step will be understanding us on our terms. We are the largest producer and consumer of content on the free internet. We are the second highest number of english speaking population in the world. We understand the west but come with cultural OS thats indigenous enough for Western software to run but not change the system.
More GDP per capita, more discretionary spending, more influence in markets, more maverick private citizens, more english speaking-culture carrying intellectually dangerous Indians, more world class athletes and artists and we will be there soon.
Dont bet against Indians.

Apple’s new Diwali ad captures very little of India as it actually is, but almost everything about how outsiders imagine India to be.
Hey @Apple, Representation is not the same as understanding.

Honestly, and Ive told Deepinder about this in private as well, people want to dislike him more than they care about the product.
He has a polarising perception- either he inspires awe and inspiration, or dislike and hate. No in the middle.
I use Temple. Ive used it. In fact, I bought it with $$. Its a health tracker. Simple as that. How can you hate a health tracker? Who is forcing someone to buy it?
There are some ambitious science projects built into it- CBF, Entropy etc. But I would never see someone hate Whoop, Garmin, Gabit, Oura or any other like that.
People don’t understand second time founder psychology at all. And this is the first sign of a second time founder attempting global tier innovation out of India.
We need to encourage more of this. Way more. After money stops being the incentive, out best and brightest should build global tier tech- hardware and software.
But, one thing Ive learned also from seeing him- the hate for him is well deserved, because only a man as strong headed as him could face it, use it and build bigger and better with it. The size of your enemy is the size of your potential. Your battles are a symptom of your strength, not your weakness.

Dear Concerned Indian Doctors,
I see your rage against Temple on X. I have a few points
to make:
1. First and foremost, a business lesson: if Temple were a scam, and any of what we said weren't true, people would know it in just a few days of using Temple. We have 14-day, no-questions-asked returns (which even Apple doesn't offer in India). If the product doesn't work, it fails out of the gate and the company dies before recovering a tenth of its R&D.
2. We have already spent $30m building Temple, $20m out of which is my own money. Selling a few thousand devices recovers a small fraction of this investment. A scam that pays nothing is not a scam anyone would run.
3. I left the Eternal CEO role to chase purpose with Temple. This is not about money. I have enough of it to last for generations. My incentives are fully aligned with getting the science right. I am not staking a reputation earned over 20 years on making a quick buck.
4. Our employees bought into our round a few months ago. The round we're raising now is mostly our customers. Scams don't build that cap table.
5. Most wearable companies start with internal studies. Whoop shipped its band in 2015, and the first published validation followed a few years later. We hold ourselves to a higher standard; pre-prints are a step prior to peer reviewed publications, and they are coming up.
6. At some point you have to stick your neck out and say: we believe in our science, and the product is now valuable enough for people to pay for and use. We believe we are there. More validation continues in public.
7. We are confident that we are building something that the world is going to be positively astonished with. We stand by our science and our methods. Each of our claims is easily verifiable by individuals and institutions alike, and you will see a lot of independent studies come up on their own when the device becomes available to use.
Last but not the least, the most ground breaking features in Temple are not even public yet. And some of them, thankfully, have nothing to do with doctors 🤭
Hope this addresses some or all of your concerns. If not, keep raging 😘🤗
