Yes, there is too much drama in Shark Tark India, but so is in Shark Tank US.
There is an episode in which Richard Branson throws water over Mark Cuban!
We watch TV for entertainment right? Shark Tank does that while glorifying entrepreneurship in India.

Just because the tech salaries are booming doesn't mean the Indian job scene is progressing in any way.
Starting intern salaries of CAs, Architects, Designers etc., are not even enough to survive in a metro.
Are these tech salaries here to stay?

Going ahead, there's just one aim, just focus on the present. No desires, no anxiety. While it's impossible to not have them, happiness is a skill one has to learn.
Will give in my best to not stress much about the past, or the future 🤞

I'd rather ban ads of coaching institutes than liquor ads in India
Greedy institutes, fake promises & suicides because of failing mere exams is having a much negative impact on our nation than alcohol would ever do.

Entrepreneurship is a journey of overcoming fears.
- fear of not being able to build
- fear of not getting customers
- fear of loosing customers
- fearing of missing big pending vendor payments
- fear of not being able to scale
everything boils down to: the fear of failing
